I recently fell out with jeans, then realised one day it might be that the style of jeans I was wearing weren’t particularly flattering, so I turned to Topshop’s high waisted Kristen jeans in the hope they’d rekindle my love for jeans. I wasn’t sure if they’d make my legs look too long, as I’m already 5’9, but something about the cut and fit of the jeans makes me love them. They’re a lot more chic than skinny jeans which sit on the hips which is where I think I was going wrong. These are the indigo version and I love the colour – smarter looking than traditional denim but not as intense as black. I bought these in a 26W/34L and although they fit snugly on my legs I could have done with the 25″ to fit my waist better, but as my hips are a good 12″ bigger than my waist and Topshop jeans aren’t designed for hourglass figures, I didn’t fancy my chances of squeezing my hips into them. I’ll definitely be investing in more Kristen high waisted jeans in the future.
I paired them with my new Reiss blouse. I love Reiss, the clothing is simple and chic but it is expensive so I only shop there during a sale. This silk blouse was originally £95 but it had been reduced down to a much more reasonable £28 so I snapped it up. It features sweet little buttons at the sleeve and extra fabric at the shoulder which softens the look and adds a feminine touch. The neckline can be worn two ways – open, like I’ve done above, or buttoned up which results in a much higher, more square neckline. It’s these little extra details which make a fairly basic blouse into something a little more unusual.
You look stunning, those jeans really do suit you very well!
I love the blouse, very chic. I'm off shopping today, need a wardrobe makeover. Jeans look fab too!

I have these jeans too and as much as i love them (i have 4 pairs) they lose fit on the hips so quickly! definitely not made for hourglass figures x
Very nice outfit 🙂

I agree with you about Reiss. Their clothes are so classic and well-fitting but unbelievably expensive! It does make it so much better when you snap up a bargain though!
Lovely outfit

I have a pair of high waisted jeans from miss selfridge. Looking at your pictures though I definately think they'd look better in a navy or black colour. May have to have a trip to topshop!

Your hair is amazing – love just the subtle hint of ombre I think it looks much more stylish than having it go higher up the hair. Just wondering – how do you style your fringe? I have similar length hair and do it in a centre parting but it always falls in front of my face (like curtains.. not a good look) instead of flicking nicely to the side like yours, even after I've blow-dried it out! Any tips? x
wow! I love it.plain and simple.good choice of outfit as well..keep it up.
