I posted recently about how I have been favouring my jeans over patterned trousers in recent months but I think it was party because of the weather then as I’m back in love again now spring has sprung. A girl’s allowed to change her mind, no? In fact, not only am I wearing them today, I’ll also be wearing a different pair on the blog on Monday as part of a very special collaboration with 5 of my blogging friends! But back to today, where I’m wearing a pair of Gap navy floral patterned trousers I picked up in the sale a couple of weeks ago in Gap in Castlecourt, Belfast (as opposed to the outlet). I think they were about £12 (more expensive online – that seems to always be the case with Gap) and what I like about them is that they’re not too ‘in your face’ and they look great with navy, light grey and white…and denim too. Lots of boxes ticked! They’re a cropped slim fit with some stretch, so are very comfy to wear.
Today I wore them with a Boden denim shirt (similar here & here), navy pumps from Zalando (similar here & here) and the best-selling silver overlapping necklace from my own shop.
This post got me thinking about how versatile my navy pumps have been since I got them about this time last year. So I’ve done a bit of a high street edit of some of the lovely navy pumps that are out there at the moment in case you’ve got a navy flat shoe gap in your wardrobe!

I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend – I’m looking forward to a quiet Saturday night in watching the final of The Voice while the hubby supports Ulster at Ravenhill! #SUFTUM and I’ll be back on Monday morning!
PS I’ve added a few new summer scarves to the shop – check them out on this link!
Ohh you’ve tucked in Avril. Wish I could do that. You look lovely and a great bargain x
Well…*whispers* don’t tell but I did un-tuck after the photos! x
Love love LOVE those- may have to invest! They look great on you.
thanks Avril xx
Agree navy pumps are the best! Lovely selection here

Thank you Paul – you can’t beat a denim shirt with patterned trousers..it’s one of my most favourite looks! Ax
Fab new trousers Avril, which like you say are going to go with lots in your wardrobe. Love them teamed with the denim shirt.

Thank you Jane – loving the denim shirt you got last month…definitely going to check it out next time I’m in Zara! Ax
Great trews Avril, lovely subtle pattern! They look great with the denim shirt and that gorgeous necklace!
I am desperate for some Navy pumps…..liking the look of the Dotty P ones a lot! xx
Those DP ones have a lovely detail on them, don’t they? Definitely want to check them out in the flesh soon. Thanks for your lovely comment Michelle, Ax
Love the trousers and denim shirt combo- always wonder what to pair floral trousers with so just avoid buying them . Thanks for the tips! Ps I’ve my eye on one of those lovely scarves too
You’ve got to add a denim shirt to your wardrobe! Brilliant for coloured denim and patterned. Sainsbury’s had lovely ones last year! Ax
I definitely need some blue pumps. I have my eye on the Clarks pair.
I’d say they’re so comfy – saw another blogger wearing them in the other colour way yesterday and she said they were her fav pumps! Ax
Those trousers are really pretty and as you say “not too in your face” and what a great price. Agree Gap prices should be the same online as instore, it’s bad practice. I’m saying that because I rarely get to a store! x
It’s a strange customer proposition…but I guess it must work? Perhaps the online offering is more expensive for them? Anyway, I don’t think I’d have taken a gamble on them at full price but for £12.99, they were a no-brainer! Ax
You look so fab in this outfit & I love the dark denim shirt too! xx
Thanks Andrea – that shirt has been the best buy…it just works with so many items in my wardrobe! Ax
Loving these patterned trousers! Suit you loads. I’ve just bought a patterned pair from H&M – not worn them yet. Waiting for my little black pumps to arrive! Mel x
Thanks Mel – I’ve a hot and cold relationship with my patterned trousers…I go through periods of wearing them all the time and then I can’t stand them for months! Loving at the moment…thought you probably noticed that already! Ax
I adore those patterned bottoms from the Gap. I suspect you will wear them lots this Spring as they are very versatile. I like it with the denim shirt

AW…thank you! I’ve already worn them loads..has taken me ages to get them up on the blog…and you just can’t beat a great denim shirt…perfect with so much! Ax
