Todays outfit post is inspired by two trends that are in style this season, leather cropped trousers and cardigans. This weeks Grazia shows their favourite picks of boyfriend style cardis:
Novembers issue of Vogue UK also has a feature on cardis and chunky knits, called 'This Old Thing?', very inspirational for pulling out your much love worn, years old cardigan and bringing it up to date for winter:
Vogues 'More Dash than Cash' feature also shows their favourite picks of leather cropped trousers:
My outfit consists of a black merino Italian wool cardi that I thrifted for £4 a couple of years ago at the boot sale and I'm wearing it with one of my Sunday boot sale finds, these brown leather cropped style trousers, which were only £1!!
As the trousers are vintage and high waisted, I've tucked my tee in 'Alexa' style (above)
I'm wearing my Jasper Conran wedge black leather courts to complete the ensemble.
I would say my favourite trends this season are leather, lace, chunky knits and boyfriend cardis, all of which I've managed to thrift for this coming season.
Hope you all have a great weekend!!

I really love this look, its kind of how Ive been feeling lately, very streamlined. I am in need of some new knits, Ive noticed a lot of vintage store have hiked up their prices I was looking at an aran knit in Cow and couldnt believe it was £40! It would have needed a good wash possibly dry clean too. Will be scouring ebay I think!
Such a lovely chic look on you. Those trousers are fabulous and I must say that your hair is looking absolutely gorgeous. xxx
Simple but really chic!

This looks great; you really suit ladylike trousers, they are so elegant on you. And I agree with Vix, your hair looks fab x
You look fab, I really like those cropped trousers! In late seventies/early eighties I used to wear an Aran Cardigan that my mum knitted, wish I was talented enough to knit my own!

Wearing high waist pants can really be sophisticated when pulled off properly. I love this look :)

I've been seeing a lot of leather shorts for some reason. I however, like your look the best. Not crazy about the leather shorts the pants are a better option and can easily transition with other pieces. Looking good as always!
OMG! Soooooooo elegant and beautiful and perfect! I just love the pointy-toe shoes that give it a retro flair. Fab-u-lous! :o)
