Do you ever buy a piece of clothing and wonder whether they're actually something someone of your age would wear? Well I seem to be doing this quite often! I fell in love with these pants from New Look for many reasons: they're black and white, they aren't tight and they're striped. I wondered how I was going to fit them into my style but pairing them with this high neck top from H&M and my favourite Topshop denim jacket really toned down the maturity of the piece. Sometimes I think branching out of your comfort zone is the best thing to do in fashion, you never know until you try...
