Haven't bought any-although the weather means last season's sliders will do me if the sun ever does comes out up North!! I've been living in my GG with everything. <br />Kat, I've just seen the M&S red leather skirt, i remember you mentioned ages and ages ago, is in stock. I would love to see how you style it.

I have to say, some manmade fibres I find better than a cheaper cotton or scratchy wool. I also find that it doesn't crease and needs less ironing - which is a massive bugbear I have with lots of cottons and silks... I can live with the manmadeness because it still looks amazing after wearing it for hours!!!

So when I do find a pair I think would work (Jigsaw crocus drape) I find out they're 100% polyester and am put off... Maybe I'm overly fussy but I don't like the feel of non natural fibres. Good for the bank balance/marital harmony though 😂Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07181105407389245570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534534978347181935.post-32505069556195877092017-06-09T21:38:22.242-07:002017-06-09T21:38:22.242-07:00That should have read ankle grazers!

And while I love cropped and wide on you tall/skinnier people I feel stunted and dwarf-like in them. Doesn't stop me ordering a pair each summer, then remembering why I don't own a pair! <br />I've also discovered while I can go bright and printed on top, my bottoms are more neutral and predominately blue.

But I have a crepe-cotton pair from Kate Spade that I love and I recently got a khaki cotton-twill pair from Rag and Bone. Obsessed with khaki everything right now and love the Topshop pair but sadly they don't stock the Boutique line in my town.

Before the weather got warmer (ha) I wore crocheted tights under the black pairs. I am a big fan of a midi dress/trainers combo, but it rarely gets warm enough for it here in Scotland so these are a good alternative.
