transition

I got these leather shorts quite a few weeks ago now, when I was still back at home in Yorkshire, from the vintage section in Urban Outfitters in Leeds. It was possibly one of the best moments of my life when I wandered over to the sale/vintage area and they had literally like a dozen pair of leather shorts all for £21.99. Thankfully I managed to find a pair that actually fit my annoying much larger-than-average hips/bum/thighs plus with my student discount on top of the sale price they were a serious bargain. Yay for me! Anyway, although I have worn them LOADS, I hadn't managed to get photos yet, but yesterday I finally had a bit of time when I wasn't rushing back and to around Newcastle, or feeling much too tired and sweaty after doing said rushing to actually get some photos where I don't look completely crap.

I paired the shorts with some neutral layers as a nod towards spring which will hopefully turn up sooner rather than later. I love winter and winter fashion but I am looking forward to when it's a bit milder in terms of temperature so I don't have to worry about massive coats and scarves all the time. I've been wearing a ridiculous amount of black recently and I feel like I need to get out of it so I don't look like I'm constantly in mourning or something, but I've just been drawn to it all winter and I can't seem to shake it off! I was hoping that the addition of this coat to my wardrobe would help inject a bit of colour during this transitional period but it sold out while I dithered about worrying whether I could actually really afford it or not, even if it was in the sale. However, now I shall never know... unless I manage to hunt it down instore somewhere!

P.S. Have you noticed my cool oh-so-subtle lens flare in these pics. Does that make me like a proper fashion blogger now?? Even if it was purely by accident?? You should check out this post here for how you're SUPPOSED to use lense flare!
