Jetset Justine x The Luxe Life | Leather Miniskirt Mystery

Even if Anna Wintour heralded Fall 2013 as the season of the coat, what she really meant was the coat, and then the skirt. Second to inundating my closet with outerwear, I’ve taken an oath this Fall – to my boyfriend and to you, dear readers – to keep my legs smooth and my skirts short.

Of course, who better for short skirts than an Australian fashion brand? With their warm temps (I’ve seen Aussie bloggers wear cut-off shorts right through their ostensible “winter” season), I often find that Australians make the BEST miniskirts. The leather mini I chose from eLUXE is by Australian designer, Nicholas. (Hush, it went on sale today!!!). Taking style cues from Alexander Wang’s 6 year old niece – this is a real thing that happened on my iPad the night before we shot these pics whilst snooping for outfit inspo online – I paired the leather track skirt with Birkenstocks and socks the Aila way. I love the sporty casual look and just like Alexa Chung often opts for, a cropped knit sweater gives an instant update to any look, bringing it back to the 28 year old fashion blogger I am.

Don’t be fooled by the Agatha Christie vintage paperbacks and my Hercule Poirot-esque spectacle accoutrements, the only crime I’m liable to solve is of the fashion kind – a steamer, in the closet, with a wrinkled shirt at 9am this morning. Check your alibi.
