I'm not keen on the chino-style one pocket back, but I do like the skirt in the same fabric. That's in the sale too!

Anyone else flashing back to early 80s kotex adverts? Grin

I have the zara ones and they are better than those! Those tin foily ones are unflattering looking. You might never wear them I don't wear much but having said that prob will come winter.

noddyholder · 10/08/2012 17:50

There are a bronze/olive stretch pair by biba in the charity shop i volunteer in they are size 12 and 3.50 gorgeous They don't look right on me sadly!

Pinkflipflop · 10/08/2012 17:52

Oh I love these! You should definitely buy them, they'll look amazing on you!!

Quality stuff, Tena.

Or Quality Street, perhaps.

Pinkflipflop · 10/08/2012 20:42

Tena - I feel like I was being a bit if a smart arse with my reply! Sorry Blush

I'm not sure whether you actually like these trousers or not but I just personally would feel like the tin foil lady in them!!

Not my cup of tea, they are discounted that much for a reason!! But, hey if you like them, get them and it's not exactly a huge price tag even if you get limited wear.

TenaPenny · 10/08/2012 21:44

No it was fun. I like piss taking.

madammecholet · 10/08/2012 21:55

I keep looking at these with lust.. hgorgeous gold trousers am thinking heels with blazer or shoe boots and layering......

But would my thighs buckle under the strain of metallic... it's a toughie!

madammecholet · 10/08/2012 21:57

Madamecholet - I have last year's H&M version of the ones you linked to. They are more of a bronze shade though. I got them for £15 in the sale and I love them :). I sized up though - metallics and pastels can be vair unforgiving on the thighs. I wore them a few weeks ago with loose fit white vest and slouchy white linen cardi (both from Zara) but think I will wear them loads in the winter with oversized slouchy knit and ankle boots or blazer and tee.

oldqueenie · 10/08/2012 23:14

i have recently purchased these beauties.... they are fab.... and I am truly ancient and crepey. sparkly!

noddyholder · 10/08/2012 23:21

Love those better shape patterned trousers won,t make it to winter I,m sure. some of the v expensive ones look good though if good body. Might try the gold as they look tighter than my silver ones which did get loose.

TenaPenny · 11/08/2012 10:43

Lol at nods typos
