Lets keep it short...

Cardigan: New Look//T-shirt: H+M//Skirt and Belt: Primark//Boots:Next

Despite loving the current trend of printed trousers being really popular with a lot of people at the moment I can't quite pluck up the courage to wear them myself. So instead I'm embracing the trend in my own little way and wearing patterned shorts instead! (Excuse the facial expression I was looking right into the sun!!)

I love the burgundy colour of these shorts and the browny pattern and belt makes it a bit more exciting. When I saw it in the shop they had modelled a mannequin wearing the shorts with a patterned top that covered up the majority of the shorts, I much prefer tucking in a t-shirt or vest top and styling it like this! Also I promise I'm not wearing slippers, these are my heeled boots that I bought back in the January sales (you can have a better look at them in a previous post I did here).

These are my picks of some of the pattern trousers available at the moment just in case I do decide to just get over my hesitance to embrace a full leg of pattern! What does everyone think? Are Pattern trousers a Do or a Don't? xx

  4. I've bought a pair of floral trousers but have yet to work up the courage to wear them! Hopefully I'll get there before this trend disappears... Those shorts are really cute, such a lovely colour! x

  13. I love all the funky prints on the patterned pants you selected :) I think the printed shorts are a great way to ease into the trend as the full length pants can seem a bit loud!
