sheer shirt, leather shorts & a chunky knit cardigan.

Photobucket Photobucket  Cardigan, charity shop, £2 - Shirt, New Look, £11.99 - UO leather shorts, competition win - Bag, car boot sale, free.
Just a little post today, to share with you two of my recent high street purchases. I'm lovin' everything sheer and leather (or faux leather) at the moment, so the shirt and high waisted shorts are the perfect staple pieces for Autumn / Winter - along with my favourite secondhand cardigan! Despite the fact that I'm wearing my usual neutral colours, I adore how the different textures of my outfit work together, I hope I've proved that black (and a touch of brown) doesn't have to be boring! Love, Jazzabelle.

    I love mixing brown items with black, too. Such a delight to see the leather trim and collar of the blouse make a wondrous pair with your leather shorts!

    The sweater is beautiful; if I could find something like that perhaps in black or a dark blue I would be so happy. I love your style it's very similar to mine. Dark colors are always in my wardrobe I don't own many light colored clothing. Go figure haha
