THE CHECK TROUSERS

I have always had an idea in my head that I wanted a pair of check trousers, I've had the odd pair every now and again but I wanted a black pair which would be more suited to my wardrobe but I could never find the right pair.
Trousers aren't really something that I've ever been bothered about wearing, I always thought they made me look stupid but as it gets colder and colder I've become more interested in bringing trousers into my wardrobe. It started with jeans. I picked myself up a cheap pair from Primark, as I didn't want to spend a lot and hate them, and I really enjoyed wearing them and styling them so now I'm venturing onto more smarter looking trousers too.

This whole outfit is something I would never normally wear. As a lot of you may know, Sister Of The Moon tends to feature a lot of experimental style and new looks I would never normally go for and I like to share my opinions and feelings about the outfit with my readers. I wanted to style these trousers with something colourful so it had a little pop to it, when I saw this tshirt I thought it would go perfectly with them. I did almost opt for my usual monochrome theme for this outfit, but I think adding a bit of colour looks good too. I added my cherry red Dr Martens boots for a contrast with the tan colour of the top! 

Instead of wearing a coat with it being so cold I improvised and styled this outfit with an oversized Levi's denim shirt, this shirt actually belongs to my boyfriend! On the day of this shoot I planned to wear my new beloved Teddy Coat but I didn't want to seem repetitive as I literally want to wear it in every shoot, so Dan handed me the Levi's shirt he was wearing and I love how it all came together. 

Overall I really like this outfit, the bagginess of it makes it very comfortable for relaxed days or just popping to the shops but feels like I still made an effort. I do feel that the trousers could be dressed up for smarter looks, such as night out looks or maybe even an interview!
