Oh, Topshop high waisted jeans, how I love thee. Bought on a whim after a long and tiring day in London (comfort shopping), I thought they’d be straight back in the bag for a return trip and a refund. Maybe I’d buy a cardigan instead, or a pair of comfortably familiar flats.

I was pleasantly surprised when I slipped them on. Not only do they fit like a dream, but they’re as comfortable as pyjamas and fantastically flattering to boot. The £40 price tag may be a little steep, but jeans are my sartorial Achilles’ heel. I have rather long legs so prefer to spend a few extra pennies (well, pounds…) to clothe them in their entirety.

I’m adding these denim delights to the dusky grey blazer and chestnut faux fur coat I picked up at the charity shop this weekend (both considerably cheaper than the jeans!). Have you made any purchases recently? Tell me what’s in your shopping bag(s) today…

Aaw wow I bought those on Friday too! They are brilliant! I was so chuffed when the smaller size I picked up fitted like a dream! Jeans never every fit me properly so I have to try on about 3 pairs to find one that vaguely fits. They are so stretchy and soft! Will definitely be living in them this winter. 🙂

Love this outfit – those jeans look great on you.
I picked up a bargain dress today from the M&S childrens section for only £7 (being 5’1 occasionally has its fashion advantages!) x

You look FABULOUS! I wish I had long legs. And that I could wear high waisted jeans without looking like a pudding. Alas I cannot. You can, minx x

Ooooh, you look great – the classics never fail, eh? I have to ask, do you have ‘a bum’ if you know what I mean? I have never been able to wear TopShop jeans as they seem to be made to straight-up-and-downers and I have a bit of rear! They look great on you!

The jeans do look lovely! I was having a conversation with people at work today on how to get into too tight jeans (the lunging approach vs the lie on your bed and wiggle!) and cringing – comfy jeans are much better!

You can’t beat a stripe t and jeans combo. Looks fab. I live in my stripe T from Very but my most recent purchase (which looks great with said T) is a white porceline key pendant from nonesuchthings. Gorgeous!

The jeans definitely look like they fit great. I’m definitely due some comfort shopping!

Also, love the coat: definitely a classic.

I would love a pair of high-waisted jeans! They definately look really comfortable, I’ll have to start hunting 🙂
I’ve bought too much recently its ridiculous but I’ve bought a lot of knitted jumper dresses, which I guess are necessary for our cold weather? 😉

Lurve that outfit! My favourite outfit is very similar, theres just something about breton stripe with a beige trench, love it!

I love the simple clean finish of this outfit. My trench has come out to play lately, just enough to keep warm.

I bought a gorgeous berry tunic the other day, bit of lace on it and steering away from jeans & leggings with thick tights.

Oh goodness you’ve just reminded me of a pair of those I bought last year in a sample sale, they are so cosy and practical when the weather turns chilly, must dig them out. xxx
