Cropped leg trousers at a bargain price!

Hello there, how are you?

I'm really, really getting excited now as at the weekend we have a big family wedding to attend.  Everything is finally in place now - the outfit is ready and waiting, make-up lady booked, spray tan arranged, hair trimmed and nails ready nearly varnished.  Praying for fine weather - so I'm outside doing the 'sun dance' as we speak!  Lol

Talking about the weather, I'm starting to take notice of the possible change of season!  With Autumn fashion not only starting to trickle into the stores, but is beginning to invade social media sites with some promising ideas floating about.  I for one have fallen head over heels (excuse the pun) for the peep toe boots I see everywhere.  I'm hoping to make them an addition to my wardrobe soon, it's just a case of finding the right ones!
But look what I did find in my local F & F store today - are you liking the wide legged trouser of the cropped variety?
Having to be really careful as to where on the leg these finish, an inch is the difference between a chic, polished outfit looking like you've out-grown your trousers!
I've been very undecided with these, and took a chance before the blighters could get away - so glad I did because they are really a fun, fashion item that's going to look great with so much already hanging in my wardrobe.  These are actually navy, but are looking decidedly black in the photos!
Today being paired with cream - and what's not to love about a lace top?  Elegant and stylish don't you think?
Recently seeing the lovely Mary from the Pouting Pensioner sharing her outfit that involved leg lengthening nude court shoes I adopted the same mind set and donned my own!



 
How about the ribbon choker?  A cheap trick don't you think?  Especially when it may belong  to one of your daughters friends!!






I'm going to have to let you all into my little secret ... the cropped leg wear costing an astounding £5 - so glad they found there way into my trolley yesterday!

Looking forward to seeing you on Monday, I'll be sharing with you all a few photos from the wedding.

I'm off to get my nails beautifully polished, grab my confetti and a few tissues - there's bound to be a few tears on Saturday - firstly from me when I say "I remember when you were born" and then from my nephews when I say "give auntie a kiss" 💋 He he he. !!!

Thanks to Emily for taking these photos.

Catch you Monday peeps. X
