It's A Pleather Takeover!

We all know about leather, whether we love it or hate it, or own an item of it or not. Thankfully, another alternative has come along which has gone down a storm on high streets everywhere. Pleather is a term used to describe plastic leather. It has allowed fashion to become more animal-friendly and has allowed the wider public to be able to buy leather type items at an affordable price. Recently, i've really been into pleather trims and collars on jackets and coats. I find that they add a touch of edge to an item and can bring it to life.

Here are some Pleather items from my wardrobe. You may have seem some of them from previous posts.

Student Retail Therapy: Part II

So guys, a couple weeks ago I made a promise to myself and my very abused bank account that I would not buy anymore clothes until Christmas. However, you can probably tell by the title of this post that I did not keep my promise. So now I'm going to attempt to justify my reasons for each of my purchases. 

The first items I bought were three blazers and an oversized jumper. These blazers were a good buy because they cover some of the season biggest trends, Dogtooth, PU and the British Heritage trend. They also they keep my ever-growing blazer obsession alive.

Hayley Herringbone Peplum Blazer - £30

Jenna Dogtooth Blazer: £20

Lauren PU Trim Blazer - £30

The only way I can justify the purchase of these fabulous dresses is that I just had to have them in my life. It's that simple.
