The leather shorts

I found them! After months of anxious shop and website hunts, I found the leather shorts of my dreams.

 This pair was seen resting The Outlet - where the unsold clothes from Boutique 1 get laid to rest.

They were less than a quarter of the original price and the brand is Doma. All of this is a bit irrelevent though because the most important point is that they are tailored. I wanted to don a perceived "edgy" fabric that had been cut to look very safe. For someone who dresses as conventionally as myself, this is key!

I wore them to the mywardrobe.com Middle East launch that was held this week at the Ritz-Carlton. It was a lovely event with cakes, cocktails and, as you would expect, clothes!

I *almost* wore a blouse from H&M with a peter pan collar necklace but wimped out at the last minute and just went for simple basics.

As we all know, simple is what I do best :)

Apologies to my Facebook followers who have already seen this pic!

And here are some random snaps from the event.....

It was a good night and now I am thinking of going one step further in the leather league and getting my hands on some trousers...:) 

Before I go I have had a few questions from people asking what to wear in Dubai and what is considered acceptable. Some of you wondered whether the Zara skirt I featured last week for example would be considered too short. 

Quick answer would be abso-bloody-lutely. But it's important to note that the rules differ depending on where you go. 

In a Westernised hotel setting you can wear whatever you like. If you are travelling on the metro or hitting a mall? Cover yourself up and be mindful of the fact that legs on display borders on disrespectful. I suppose it's just commone sense and as long as you avoid dressing like a hoe-bag in public places you will probably be alright :) 

Hope you are all well!!!

PS. Went to MAC today and ALMOST bought Innocence, Beware before realising that I truly do not need another lipstick in an identical shade. I am quite proud of my self-restraint.  Quick Sizzle on the other hand is still on my mind :) Should I? :)
