Shopping With Alex in London - Leather Skirts



We have all been drooling over the maxi leather skirts we have been seeing recently. So we sent Alex looking - about a year ago. Seriously. She says:
I have been on the look out for the perfect black leather skirt for the last 12months. I didn't mind if it was new, designer or vintage so I was on the hunt for my perfect leather skirt all over Cape Town - but I couldn't find the one for me. Then recently our mate Alexa appeared online in a gorgeous Topshop a-line simple black leather skirt, I was in lust and had to have it! Sadly I was disappointed to find that Topshop in London and Dubai had already sold out from the 2 deliveries they had received and the lovely young lady at the information desk kindly informed me that if I could get my hands on one to get her one too. So, as any experienced shopper does my next step was to go online.....once again my size was sold out and so I decided it was not meant to be.
However, my mission was not accomplished I was still on the look out for the perfect leather skirt and fortunately it is a fashion favourite item at the moment. So my lovely shoppers, here are the best picks of the high street here in London:


1. Topshop leather gathered skirt - this a great modern leather skirt. Topshop currently has a great range of leather pieces. A great alternative to a classic style, suitable length for day or night and good quality leather for the price - look online now!
2. Urban Outfitters vintage leather skirt - this is a gorgeous vintage leather skirt and is a great on-trend length option. Good quality leather with great detail.
3. GAP leather skirt - this is absolutely divine! The loveliest quality of leather, great design and fits beautifully. Tried, tested.....and will soon be owned by 'Shop with Alex', this is quite expensive option for a high street store but is an investment piece that you would never regret. Looking forward to unwrapping this on Xmas day!
Sp get your friends or family or My London Shopper going and get yourself a leather skirt asap!
