Palazzos &Passion4Fashion Linkup

Have you ever tried something on and thought no, just no. Thats me with this outfit. Its wierd, i like each piece but not together..and not on me. Just no. 

But God loves a trier and trying i certainly am ;) 

The palazzo trend is everywhere right now, so much so i obviously got suckered in to try. But it just isn't for me. I have seen them on others and they look uhmazing (possibly why i bought them) but i think they just do nothing for me. We took these photos and in true diva style, i viewed them and just shouted to my poor husband across the room 

"NO! No no no. It's just all wrong. WRONG i tell you" then threw myself face down on the sofa and claimed that life was so unfair.. 

Ok maybe i didn't do that (i'm not that bad i promise). But we both did look at each and there was an agreeance that perhaps these weren't for me. It could be my pear shape body, and my blatantly putting a big old flag like pair of trousers on, just emphasises my larger points. I dunno.

But everyday's a school day ladies, and today is the day i learned that patterned palazzo's are just not for me.

I also didn't feel very me in them. I've been in to simple, plain almost, outfits of late. Especially navy or black and white. So the overtly patterned trousers just felt like they were screaming at me, which i don't like when my clothes yell at me. It causes all kind of uncomfy-ness, for me and the trousers ;)

Have you tried patterned palazzos or any trend that you couldn't get on with?

Monochromatic in Palazzo Trousers and a crop top

A few things i have been loving of late:

• Monochrome: gimme black and white any day
• Wide leg trousers.... this is my first dabble with palazzo style, wide leg trousers and i like them! I love the silhouette they create, soft and girly yet can be made edgy and very up to date at the same time.
• wavy hair.. i just can't get enough of soft waves lately.. the messier the better infact. low maintenance hair is the best.  

Have you tried wide leg trousers? Are you a fan? I had been wanting to find a pair that weren't patterned and could be easily dressed up or down. These are from F&F and they are exactly what i wanted. Soft fabric, long length, stretchy and can be dressed up or down. I went for a smarter look with a crop top (!) and some great  Naturalizer heels from Lotus Shoes.

I think they would also look great with some trainers (stan smiths possibly for those who do?) and a simple white tee and a denim jacket. Perfect weekend wear or for packing light if you're off somewhere for the weekend, these trousers will work well from day to night! And we all know i love me some multi-outfit items. Light packing is not something i am good at, but with the assistance of trousers like these i think i could be better!

And yes, i am wearing a crop top. As someone who carries a multitude of stretch marks after having a rather large baby (all 8lb 8oz of him!!)  my tummy area is best left hidden under multiple, multiple layers. BUT, this crop top works with the high waist trousers! Stretch marks tucked away, the crop top trend becomes do-able.If you had told me that 3 years ago i would never have believed you. But sometimes its good to try something new, its just finding a way to make it work for you!

So are you a fan of the wide leg or the crop top? I'm looking forward to trying both in different ways, the crop top with some high waisted jeans and the wide leg trousers with a tighter top possibly!
