Dresses over trousers?

Are they a massive no, or still okay?
I know it's a fine line between fab and old bag anyway, but are they just wrong altogether, even if I get it right?
I am imagining some 60's style tight fitting mini skirt tunic dresses over skinny jeans with ballet pumps, or wide leg linen trouses and a sheer wrap dress?
Is it all too Trinny and Susannah?

I wear them alot and they don't have to be boho. my favourite outfit for 'worl/formal' occasions when I don't want to wear a suit but need to be comfy (for example a conference involving travelling) is;
longlegged black trousers (part of a suit from tesco)
black shift style sleeveless dress (from new look)
both are cotton/polyester blends so no creasing. Although neither are expensive items they look much more expensive/classy when put together. Big sunglasses and a smart black bag finish the whole look!

I also like wearing pretty dresses over skinny jeans.

I think the dress/wide legged trouser thign looks a bit dated now, but a good variant on it is the dress/wrap/tunic over widelegged trousers and then a skinny wraptop/tightfit crop top over the dress. That way you create a more streamlined silouhete (SP?).

Its also a good way to get wear out of crop tops without exposing your tummy!
