burgundy & mustard




blouse, trousers, bag & shoes - topshop, hat - h&m, brooch - vintage

i can't actually believe i'm wearing trousers. and mustard trousers, at that. but i think this is my attempt at maybe dressing more grown-up. i think in my head i associate trousers with adults/being a grown-up. as you may have noticed, i never wear trousers, ever. not even jeans. i used to wear nothing but jeans, honestly nothing but them, i never wore dresses, or skirts or shorts. until about 2 years ago when i properly discovered fashion, thanks to the world of blogging.

i was worried about the fit of these, i'm quite 'curvy' round my hips & thighs and i wasn't sure how they'd look, but in the end i love the colour so much, and they are so damn comfortable, that i don't even care if they make my thighs look huge. i'm loving shades like mustard and burgundy for autumn, i don't really buy into trends but i can't get enough of 'jewel tones'.

but i think i'm now a trousers convert - i'm now on the hunt for a burgundy pair.

  1. Those mustard trousers are so flattering on you! And the wine hued blouse is the perfect top to go with it.

  2. I adore the colour mustard at the minute, it makes a nice transition from Summer to August too. It goes perfectly with that blouse! Very pretty :)

  9. Really, the trousers are not only a gorgeous color, but they're incredibly flattering, as well. I love how you pair a piece of burgundy-colored clothing with just about anything and it always looks so very lovely... :)
