floral bomber and shiny trousers

 

silver trousers, floral bomber jacket - h&m, hoody, hat - primark, black t-shirt - dunno it's just a black t-shirt innit, shoes - vagabond

I'm not wearing a single thrifted item in this outfit. A RARE OCCURENCE. Although I did actually wear a thrifted backpack with it (I somehow never remember to include bags?) and I did go charity shopping in it.

I got these shoes from Vagabond after making some pennies on eBay  They're SO comfy and great for a bit of extra height in the day time. Not that I really need extra height, I'm taller than everyone I know anyway. Also they made me so tall that I cut the top of my head out of the first photo. What I'm trying to say is that I love them and I don't want to ever take them off my feet. EVER. 

I'm going to be honest though that's a ridiculous statement because I am currently in bed and not wearing them. I also didn't wear them rollerskating because that would have been impractical. They don't have wheels.

floral trousers

 

trousers, necklace, earrings - primark, top - jumble sale, boots - h&m, coat - vintage

I spotted these trousers on Meg's blog a few weeks ago and headed straight to Primark to seek them out for myself. I've been living in trousers recently so these were a happy addition to my wardrobe. They were my first high street clothing buy after finishing my year of thrifting way back in September, so it pretty much turned into a year and a half in the end. Not bad going for something that was originally a month long challenge!

I wore this outfit for a night out but I'm hoping I'll be able to style these trousers for day to day office wear too. I got a new job which I start after Easter - my style won't have to change much day to day but it's an academic position which means I will have to do some teaching so smart clothing will be essential at some point. What do you think - are patterned trousers smart?
