dangerous territory

if you told me five years ago that leather booty shorts would be a staple in my wardrobe, i would have worried over where you thought my career path was headed!

but here they are, my awesome leather shorts, the last thing on my fall/winter "needs" list. just in time, too - the holidays are coming up so no more shopping for myself for a while. i can work on my "wants" list during the post-holiday sales ;-)

crossing my fingers that it will be cool enough to wear them this weekend for a proper outfit (i don't plan on wearing them outdoors without tights!) but the forecast for friday is 92f so i don't think that's going to happen.

  4. daaaaaaaaamn...so good. i passed on a pair of leather shorts because i knew i'd have to wear them with tights and right now the tights/shorts trend in the city (darned models and teens) has ruined my taste for it. boo.
    i like these. you look freaking awesome. i totally bought a pair of helmut lang leggings in the most amazing brown/grey color and am now addicted and on ebay hunting for more, lol. also mad i can't wear them just yet.
    also, re your comment: a $2400 leather backpack??? yikes...

  5. ^^ Pennerad, I know! I thought once I got the original, classic Les Chiff leggings I'd be done but then I found out they make suede ones in this gorgeous dark blue color, with the zippers...

  9. haha, oh, so.. that's allright. i can't really afford another jacket. such a struggle to get the money for the new jacket i just bought. i even got a call from a store that carries isabel marant today that they just received this jacket: http://mytheresa.s3-external-3.amazonaws.com/products/newlist/220_5302_001.jpg (that i also want.. but don't afford right now!!... oooh)

  10. hottttttttttness! My leather shorts are just about the same length and while I love how sexy they are, I wish I had a pair of slightly more conservative ones. I can't wear mine anywhere but to bars and such.
