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?

    I love floral trousers and I absolutely think that printed trousers can be smart - it's just about what you pair them with. I'd love to look chic and pair them with buttoned up blouses but normally I wear with a jumper or loose t-shirt x
