A date with the red leather gloves

Today I took my gloves out on a date. I did want to make it a more glamorous occasion – they’re worth it – but ho hum I’m not very good with first dates. First we went to pick up a latte

then off to the skate park. Romantic.

Ignore the runny nose please, it was a windy day.

Red Leather Gloves from Florence

My niece went to Europe for her honeymoon and brought me back some dark red leather gloves from Florence. Buying souvenirs for one’s aunt is a honeymoon activity of course. I have been coveting leather gloves from Florence for years. But where to wear them? Since she has returned Sydney has gone from a cold to a very warm Winter. Given my main outings are the schoo run I am not sure how to style them in.

The kids have been sick lately so today whilst in the waiting room at the local GP I was flicking through the magazines (pretty recent and good for a doctor's surgery). Anyhow, I came across this piece on some of the more famous mums doing the school run and spotted Elle in some FAB red leather pants that would look great with my gloves. But alas I cannot afford said pants and definitely wouldn’t look as good as Elle in them.

I think they will just need a special outing all of their own. Have you ever styled your wardrobe on one key accessory?
