My "Rupert Bear" trousers are suddenly in vogue. I've had them since the early 90s and they occasionally get an outing. You last saw them
here.
Check trousers are now everywhere, and shades of brown, caramel and cream are also very trendy, so I've styled my Rupert Bears with something new - a sequinned jumper - and another older item, a camel cape from Asos which is about five years old.
I've always loved capes although they're not very practical. I added a touch of leopard print with a clutch (Next, SS16) and ankle boots (Office London). The
jumper is £20 at Sainsbury's.
The trousers are what we used to call "Oxford Bags," as worn by David Bowie in the Hunky Dory period.
Yesterday I spent an exhausting hour sweeping and bagging all the leaves. It's a small garden but we have four trees, a deciduous hedge and three clematis montana - that's a lot of leaves!
What do you think of the check trouser trend? And the return to brown and caramel?
