Topshop outlet: In search of trousers!

Hi guys,
I am a dedicated dress addict. I love to wear dresses in all their many forms: floaty, tight, short, if it's got a skirt, it's in my wardrobe. But this season is the season of the trousers. They're everywhere, and everyone is wearing them.

I don't want to spend a lot of money on a trend that I might not be able to make work with my wardrobe, or even feel comfortable wearing more than once or twice. But I do feel like I should open my mind and give this trouser thing a go. So where did I head to look for cheap trousers without compromising too much on quality? The topshop outlet of course!

Palazzo pants

The more I look at myself in palazzo pants, the more I realise that they just don't suit me! I'm just too short and too curvy to pull these off. Which is a shame because I loved these cotton and velvet evening ones, and they were a bargain at just £10. Just not right for me.

Peg leg trousers

Another pair of £10 trousers (which means if you got the palazzo pants too the bogof offer would make them an amazing £5 each!) These made my thighs look ginormous, but on the bright side, at least I now know cinamon coloured peg leg trousers aren't for me!

Floral trousers

These floral trousers were £15 (with that all important BOGOF) I've rolled my black top up to show off the paper bag waist band. I really liked these, and with sandals, a black silk vest and baggy cardigan (or fitted jacket depending on my mood) these would be perfect for work and play.

Slouchy shorts

I do not have good legs. In fact they have been certified as my worst feature. So you definitely wouldn't find me wearing these £15 shorts about the city this summer. But for lounging around the pool on my holidays? I actually quite like them! Much more flattering and lighter than my usual denim options. Definitely worth a try!

How do you guys feel about trousers? Will you be embracing the trouser trend, or sticking to skirts instead?
Love, Tor xx

    I really like the palazzo pants on you actually! They'd just need to be shortened.
    LOVE the shorts xx

    I don't think I'm brave enough to try any of the more fitted styles. My worst features are definitely my upper thighs & stomach and tailored trousers look AWFUL on me :(

    Ah, Palazzo trousers are so lovely in theory, but boy are the difficult to pull of for normal shaped people! You're not doing half badly though :)

    I think the floral ones of the best of the 4, although I would look like a clown in them. I love the look of the trouser trend, but I think I'll just stick to my trusty skirts (and my jeans of course).

    Are you kidding me! The Palazzo pants look really cute on you, they just need some very high wedges and taking up just slightly.
