rain check

I’m not really sure what’s been going on with the weather in London recently. Only last week it was the hottest it’s been in a very long time and now it’s cold and constantly raining. Just when I thought I’d lucked out. I’m not ready to give up on summer quite yet though. I’d only barely started to crack out the t-shirts and shorts before they were cruelly snatched away from me.

I’ve been stocking up on different styles of casual trouser of late. I forever seem to only be wearing jeans and thought it was time to branch out a little bit and recently added more and more printed trousers into my wardrobe. I’m a bit of an impulse shopper, not the best quality to have when trying to save money, and when I was shopping the other week on Oxford Street for some more wardrobe basics there was a stand of patterned checkered trousers that caught my eye in Pull and Bear. I bought them all….I joke, but I did pick up this nice grey and navy checkered pair. They fit amazingly and I’ve been wearing them for everything to dressy occasions to late night snack runs and received quite a few complements. I also picked up this textured white tee, which paired with the checkered trousers and my favourite trainers goes quite nicely.

The main plus of these trousers is that they are great to wear no matter whether it’s scorching hot or or freezing cold. I’ll be wearing them all summer long without having to wait for the rain to be in check.
