I fell in love with the print (how many times do i start a sentence like that?!) on these shorts when i first spotted them in Topshop at the very beginning of Summer. I was convinced they would look horrid on me. One day i decided i should stop visiting them on my lunch and just bloody try them on. Living proof that you should try things outside your comfort zone from time to time! I think they look quite fabulous. I would never ever in a million years wear them without tights, but they are far more flattering than you would at first think.
It's a little bit of a joke the issues i have with my derriere. I have a big hatred of most trousers (unless they are beautifully patterned!) and spend my life in skirts and dresses - i cannot remember the last time i even wore jeans. I find them the most traumatic of the trouser department. I was very surprised that i loved these little printed wonders on, as much as off.
While they are not part of my usual Autumnal colour palette, i do love a primary colour combination and i particularly love the blue in these shorts - all cobalt-ey, striking and so much more than just blue. As you can tell - by my jumper!
I am particularly chuffed that i have managed to incorporate a printed scarf into my messy scruffy topknot. While tying a scarf in my mop is my favourite way to wear my hair at the moment, i can tell you that it is not too weatherproof!! I had to do an emergency hop skip and a jump down Denton Street after my scarf a few days ago and almost lost it under a bus! Can you imagine?!
The Mr whizzes off to London in a few days for a bass guitar shaped weekend, so i think we shall spend the evening watching a film and munching some spicy orange and cinnamon chocolate.

Oooh me likey these shorts, also, I'm liking your starfish stance! I am also once of those people who repeatedly go and look at something in the shop, until I eventually am like 'stop looking at it, just try it'! That blue colour also really suits you :) Suits you sir!
