Black Trousers a Top Ten Must- #Chicandstylish #LINKUP

Morning my friends.
This over fifty blogger is getting a tad fed up with the weather now - why wont it just go away and let the sun shine? With that said I've woken up to glorious sunshine today, but with ever changeable weather who knows what this afternoon will bring!
It's been a quiet month for Mummab, but I'm on the countdown to a really busy April, May and June.  There's two weekend's away with a string of birthdays in April followed by the Hen & Stag weekends culminating in my son's wedding in June - with a few more birthday scattered about it'll be a hectic few months I'm sure.  My first trip is to Valmorel for a couple of days skiing.  If you follow the blog you'll know I'm a keen skier, and love to go 'play in the snow' at every opportunity - catch my recent visit to Italy (pre-Coronavirus).  As I'm only going for a few days I don't need much, so an overnight case will suffice.  Driving down through France re-creates our previous holidays with the kids years ago, I have fond memories, although at the time I'm sure it was hard work with 5 kids.  My daughter is coming with us, so it will be good to re-live some of the memories with her.  In my case will be a couple of pairs of jeans, ski gear, two nice tops/blouses and a pair of comfy boots - so excited I'm going to pack this weekend - ha ha!

Today's outfit is a very classic style, one that I'd love to wear all the time.  The black wide leg trousers have to be on my top ten 'must haves'.  They are a timeless addition to any wardrobe and I have two pairs that I circulate.  One from Bonmarche - see them styled with this beautiful sunflower blouse,  & these I'm sharing today are from Florence and Fred.  I've had them a while and have to say they are a tad too long, but with a high boot I can still get away with it.

Black trousers work with just about anything, so you can understand why they play such an important part in the wardrobe.  I tend to team with dressy tops and blouses - mainly because of the length - I have to wear heels with them, so that negates any casual trainer.  I will have to look for a shorter style so I can do just that.  Today I chose black boots, these were grabbed back from the charity pile just for the height, they have a platform and high heel, but are very comfortable indeed.  They are from Clarks & are years old but now might have to stay in my collection - yay they have a reprive!

Now let's tell you about this blouse.  A while back I featured my sister in a Style Steal.  We like the same styles and often turn up in really similar outfits.  She gave me the top after getting a second free with the one she bought, so I got it!  It has a very unusual elasticated neck, which sits high up, always flattering, long sleeves with button and cuff and enough fabric to fully tuck in.  It's a warm blush pink background and faint brown chain link pattern giving a sophisticated feel to the soft and slinky blouse.

My hand immediately stopped at this chain necklace, I've had this one yonks, and it never fails to round off an outfit perfectly.
Topped off with my camel Sosandar coat, all in all a very neat and wearable look for today's, dare I say Spring like weather!!!!
