Close ups on the leather jacket and the boots



Pictures of the inside and out side of the purchases.
Noticed there is quilting on the inside of the leather jacket, making it warmer and adding more to the garment with the criss-cross design.
For the boots on the other hand it's a nice warm wool that makes the boots more comfortable to wear and making it easy to move around in.

Purchasing these together was under £100 where as buying a brand new leather jacket would be the same as the two put together or even more.

Next week! I will be posting glimpses of my design ideas, inspirations and progress on how far I am getting on the calico shirt that I'm doing.

Retro bargain


As I had mentioned in a previous post, I would share purchases that I have made recently and from a while ago.
Today I'm showing an old fringe and very stunning leather jacket. I've been after a leather jacket for such a long time and now that I have one I can't get enough of it. I've purchased it at a shop called Retro and sadly they don't have a website so I'm unable to show you what else they have.
The jacket was quiet cheap considering that it's actual leather and the condition was incredible for second hand, it's well worn so the leather was soft and it was easy for me to move about in.
One thing that I had noticed about the leather jacket is that it has multiple zips, on the arms and down the back, meaning that I'm able to adjust the jacket to suit my body which I love! As well as being covered in small silver circle studs.
I've had this jacket for about a month now and some of the fringes have started to fallen along one of the arm sleeves and one of the studs have fallen off due to my bag, so from now on I think I'd'd be wearing this every now and again just so I don't mess it up even more.

I'm also showing my lovely biker boots that I've purchased from Primark. Now! I never usually go in there due to the products not being my type of style but the shoes on the other hand can be absolutely amazing and especially with their prices. AND! The shoes fit me, which is a first considering women's footwear never fits me. Again just like the leather jacket the buckles can be altered and the straps can be moved around to suit my size and to what ever makes me feel comfortable.
Again these were quiet cheap as well. 

I've decided to capture them together like this to show how they go together but I will be posting another picture of them later on to show the buckles, the zips and how they look separately rather than together.
