Denim Jacket - Vintage Scarf - New Look Bag - Next Jumper - H&M Trousers - Topshop (here) Trainers - New Look (here)

My friend Holly recently summed up my look - "you're a girl that loves comfort, but not enough to not try" - nailed it.

I've been after some wide leg, plisse style trousers for a while but never quite sound ones in a material or finish I loved. Until I found these beauties in Topshop. They fit so beautifully on my waist and hips and are so flattering on hourglass gals like me so I had to have them, and I haven't looked back since. A whole new world of comfy fashion has been opened up to me and I welcome it with open arms.

I've worn these to death during exams/revision for this reason alone, but also because they're so easy to style. I love them with a simple black jumper loosely tucked in to clinch the waist, or a basic crop. On this day I styled them with a short nude jumper (tuck a jumper into your bra at the front and you've got yourself a tasty little midriff flash), my trusty denim jacket and flatform trainers, then a big scarf to help me survive the Sheffield cold. I love the silhouette of this outfit with the tight waist and flared bottoms, they're so so much more interesting than just jeans.

I feel like wide leg trousers are so scary to some people as skinny jeans have become the safe, easy option. People often shy away from pieces that take more styling, or may 'cover your curves'/'hide your figure'. But I find wearing stuff like this so empowering as I'm forcing myself out of my comfort zone, and feeling great while doing it.

My new years resolution to only buy things that make me feel 10/10 is off to a flying start.
