It’s not even the end of January yet and I’ve already successfully fulfilled one of my Style Resolutions for 2015. Experiment With New Silhouettes. Of course, they are only a pair of wide leg trousers. Where’s the drama with that? 

It may be one small step for flare aficionados, but it was one giant wide-leg stride for a skinny-jean obsessive such as myself. As I said in my previous post about body confidence, I sometimes worry that adding volume to an area that is already somewhat voluminous can make me look super-sized where I would way rather downsize. But fashion is all about experimentation. It’s all about how you feel. I once read some advice in I-D that said buying an item of clothing which you know deep down isn’t really you, will always mean you feel like a tosser wearing it. Usually I would completely agree, but what is fashion without having a bit of fun?
These trousers definitely are not a classic Sophie piece. Screaming out against the bleak wintery streets of London in all of their bold, garish, blue-striped glory, I felt like a bit like a kooky art teacher wearing their Grandpa’s striped pyjama bottoms. And I loved it.
There’s a retro elegance to the trousers: high waisted, wide-leg, long vertical stripes. It was like almost suddenly I was transported back to 1970-something. I should be wearing a boldly clashing pumpkin coloured top, working my way down a soul train line, and stacking it at the end in my blocked platform heels.
Get me to a disco. Pronto.

Valentine’s Day: do you do anything for it (even Valentine’s Day: do you do anything for it (even a card, an acknowledgement of it) or do you just live it like any other day? It’s not something that bothers me really but I said to Jimmy “it would be nice to get some flowers though” - he replied by asking me when actually is Valentine’s Day. Lol. So... bets are on. Who thinks I’ll be getting flowers on Valentine’s Day 😂?

Don’t worry I’ll just be sitting here patientl Don’t worry I’ll just be sitting here patiently waiting for summer so I can enjoy my walks in the park in these sandals 🥺 but seriously, my chanel sandals have been the best investments I’ve made. They’re about the only shoes I wear in spring summer. Until then, I guess I’ll be wearing them as slippers 🥴
