ZARA BAROQUE STYLE PRINTED TROUSERS

So before I went away, I posted about a pair of Zara trousers which had just become my ultimate Summer saviour. Lightweight Mulberry silk in an on-trend purple, baroque-style paisley print -  they beat any summer dress I’d gone looking for hands down. The intended-cropped style makes them a perfect heel-wearing length on my diminutive legs, and fortunately the proportions don’t look odd – which is usual when you wear trousers intended for Tall Girls.

So, although the weather wasn’t amazing in Tuscany, I still managed to get some decent wear out of them with the French Connection cropped top I mentioned, but unfortunately failed to have photos taken (I blame the vino…and the Jaegers).

It wasn’t long before I was rocking them again though, this time at Vogue Fashion’s Night Out in Central London. Worn with a vintage-find, deep-blue velvet top and my PPQ @ Office wedges (worn for the first time!), they were the perfect statement piece and helped create a sumptuous style which is proving so popular at the moment. The night itself was amazing; I’ve never seen so many beautiful people in one place. Add to that free drinks, designer shop raving (I’m looking at you, Michael Kors sales-girls!) and a buzzing atmosphere, and I had one of the best nights out I’ve had in ages…
