Happy Thursday ladies. Before I get onto what I'm wearing today I wanted to share with you a new mid-season sales purchase that arrived yesterday that I'm delighted with.
Having spotted these crop trousers that had been reduced by 53% I thought it rude not to 'click the button' as I thought they'd make a great alternative to jeans & cigarette pants.
Now I had high hopes for these babies & when I unwrapped them they didn't disappoint. The fabric is 98% viscose 2% elastic & is the perfect thickness in terms of weight & how they fall. Plus when the temperatures soar I think they're going to be lovely & cool to wear. Also due to their comfort factor they'll make the perfect pair of trousers for travelling to sunnier climates. Plus they're also available in maroon for those of you who don't love black quite as much as me!
Like I said I think they're going to prove very useful & have already been thinking up ways of styling them. Here's just 3 ways they could be styled for day but they'd equally look fab teamed with a heel for evening to.
In terms of sizing I ordered the small, which are slightly too big but I'm still keeping them as I quite like the fact that this means they fall that bit longer. Like I've already said if you're after an alternative to your usual trousers they're a great alternative. Plus for those of you who love culottes but can't quite get them to work these are a great alternative as they're more of a straight leg cut.
I'm loving them so much that I'm wearing mine today with a spot of 'Bet' & a lovely knitted jacket I bought last year in Majorca.

So is this a style trouser you love? Or perhaps it's a style you've looked at but been put off having tried culottes in the past? Whether it's love or hate I'd certainly recommend you give these a go....after all you might just be pleasantly surprised & at £16.99 they're a complete bargain so not going to be available for long :-)

I have just clicked through and bought these! Its not a style I would normally wear but trying to 'mix' it up and get some key pieces together. I log on to your page every day to see what you are wearing :) Love the outfits you put together. Thank you, Lynsey x
ReplyDeleteHi Lynsey you'll have to let me know how you get on with the trousers but I think they're a great style to start with if you've not worn culottes or wide legged trousers.
DeleteThank you so much for your lovely comment & following me.
