Outfit of the day

I must admit that I find it hard dressing for work. I want to look stylish, but in a City where women's workwear is often pretty drab (grey skirt suit anyone?) it's difficult to find anything in stores that I love. Because of that, I tend to stick to what I know works - black separates (there's nothing chicer than a LBD and a blazer with a cute pair of heels). But recently I've been pushing myself to inject more colour into my working wardrobe. Now that the sun is beginning to shine I need something to make me look and feel brighter, and I think I've found just the thing..

The trend for printed trousers doesn't look likely to disappear at any time soon, and I'm loving it. Today's Outfit of the Day comes courtesy (mainly) of Topshop, Primark and Tods.

As soon as I saw these trousers I knew I had to have them!! I love how they can be dressed down with flats for a more casual look, or dressed up with sky-high heels for a fashionable night out. Today, I decided to pair my prints with a simple black top and blazer and some black Tods. I kept everything else pretty low-key, adding Swarovski stud earrings and a Michael Kors chronograph watch.

I'm on the hunt for more printed pants, and at the moment am spotting other great options from ASOS, Zara and Forever 21.

I'm a convert to a colourful wardrobe - all by adding a pair of printed trousers!
