It's a great all rounder. I'm glad red is having a moment (my poor bank balance probably isn't)
The other thing i wanted to mention was these trousers. I had been on the eternal hunt for a pair of smart trousers to give my beloved jeans a rest.
Sometimes a girl just wants a smart, well fitting but comfy trouser. Not a lot to ask for, right? Right.
Well it only took me about 2 years to find them but these bad boys are most definitely the one!
Perfect length (i love the cropped ankle grazer length, perfect for showing off your favourite shoes in all their glory), they have stretch which is very important for my high comfort levels, but also retain their shape well.
Oh and these are a size UK 6 ladies. Yep thats a confidence boost built right in there.
A dainty teeny tiny size 6.
What the What Gap?
Hey I'm not complaining here, anything that makes me feel slight and skinnier than i actually am is always a bonus, but beware if you buy online, Gap sizing is extremely generous.
This took 3 attempts in the changing rooms and sending my darling mum back and fourth to fetch new pairs before we settled on the size 6.
They are however totally worth it...
It's trouser love
Suffice to say, i love this outfit. (is that weird to blow your own trumpet about your own outfit? I'm British we don't do that, it feels odd)
The new gold clutch is the final stand out piece. They will be for sale very shortly at Yosa, it is the perfect little clutch for the festive season... Christmas doo's etc. And yes, i did just mention Christmas (113 days people;)
Red Blouse: F&F
Trousers: Gap
Shoes: River Island
(sold out on line i believe but some great options below)
Clutch: Coming soon to Yosa
Trench: Next (old)
And do you have the perfect pair of trousers? Or are you a jeans girl through and through?
Let me know in the comments, i love to hear your thoughts!

Funny thing, when I'm trying on a pair of pants/jeans in several sizes, I don't look to see which size I have on in the dressing room. That silly little number really doesn't mean anything, so I want to focus on the fit and not get distracted by said number(s). I admit it is pretty sweet when I do check the tag and find a smaller number. :o)

ReplyDeleteLove these trousers on you - I have literally been looking for years for the perfect pair too, only I want a high waist and side zip with no pockets. Sigh. A few have come close, but no cigar as they say.
