leather shorts

for a while now i've wanted a pair of not-skinny leather shorts. the other day my friend bought really cool ones from topshop:

Topshop- £38

yeah i love the zips on them, so cool! however they looked really weird on me. cos im really small i dont suit things that are stick out too obviously. my friend on the other hand is about 5ft 8 so looked really nice in them :) ages ago asos sold a pair that had like little laser cuttings out of them. ive just found them in 'mushroom' (this makes them sound d-isgusting, but they're actually quite a nice colour).

asos- reduced to £39

i'm really tempted to get these. however, i wanted black leather shorts, cos i thought that they'd go well with this navy and polka dot blouse i have, and a pale pink blouse, and a floral top, and well most tops i own haha! these are a really cool colour, but so wouldn't go with as much. hmm maybe i could just buy both black and 'mushroom' haha. there's another pair on asos that are from river island. these are black witht he same laser cutting things, i really like these too.

asos- £29.99

these would be perfect if it wasn't for those stupid pleats. also, the fabric doesn't look as soft as the mushroom ones. however, they are more high waisted, which is what i was wanting. hmm decisions decisions.

if i had a higher budget, i'd settle on one of these instead:

L'Agence

love the turned up bottoms. i like how the leather looks kind of like its been lived in.

Diane Von Furstenberg- £260

i know these aren't leather, but i found them and they needed to be shown. wow they are so beautiful! i love the little lace endings, the shape and the beads. everything about them is just so beautiful. 

Helmut Lang- my favorite

these are the coolest leather shorts ever. you so could never find anything like this on the high street, their leather shorts look cheap & nasty compared to these. the material is just amazing.

Alexander Wang

usually i have a real thing about brown leather. i don't know why, i just dont particularly like it. but i actually prefer these shorts in the brown to the black. they have a total cowboy vibe, and i think that they'd look better worn without tights than the others will. 

i'm really craving some leather shorts now haha! hopefully in the january sales i'll manage to snag a pair. i'm also really hoping that those DVF shorts go in the sale in the new year too!
