It is quite a rarity that you will find me in a pair of trousers. I do not own a single pair of jeans, and so very rarely wear trousers. It feel quite peculiar when I do in fact don a pair. I have been searching high and low for a pair of chinos/tapered trousers for a while now. I find trouser shopping frustrating. I am quite petite, with short, stumpy legs and a lot of trousers are just so ill-fitting and unflattering on me. This is maybe why I steer clear of this particular apparel so often.
However, New Look came up trumps with this pair of chinos. It is they who describe them as ‘chinos’, I am more partial to ‘tapered trousers’. Either way, they are PERFECT. A lovely rusty-orange colour, some neat little turn ups at the ankle and a plaited brown belt to boot. I am wearing a simple cream vest top from H&M, and my chunky cable knit cardigan is also from New Look.
Obviously, once the tapered trousers had been purchased, it was only apt to obtain some loafers. These are from River Island and encompass everything I was after in a loafer; rich brown leather and pleated detailing. They are also really comfy which is always an added bonus! I am one who always seemed to unintentionally embrace colour in my outfits, but I quite enjoy this muted down ensemble.
Loving or loathing loafers??
You look so soft and pretty Milly<3, i'm the same with jeans, I hate them!xx
Those pants look amazing on you!
Love the outfit!
those trousers are perfect! might have to invest xxx
arr love everythink you got on! totaly suits you as you have that gawjus red hair! xxx
Am I right in thinking they also do these in a more neutral camel colour? A work colleague came in wearing the PERFECT pair of chinos and said they were from New Look. I think they might be the same ones? If so.. I want them so badly! You look fab in the neutral shades and the loafers are so cute xx
Absolutely love this outfit Milly, the muted colour palette is so sweet. I've been after a pair of tapered trousers for what seems like a lifetime, but even the Petite ranges on the high street are too long for miniature me apparently ): Gorgeous headscarf as well sweet! xxx
Beautiful 🙂 totally get what you mean with the whole trousers/jeans thing! These ones look awesome though! 🙂
Everytime you post something new, i cannot stop but look at your beautiful complexion! What foundation are you using? You should do makeup FOTD 😛
I love the colour of those trousers! I saw some similar ones in Topshop, so I'm tempted to go and get them 🙂 The colour is a great change from the norm and they look great teamed with the rest of your outfit. Great post as always! 🙂 x

My my Milly you look absolutely stunning as always! Such a perfect outfit! Very inspirational 🙂
I would do pretty much anything to have the amazing figure you do! Uber jealous!
I also do not own a pair of jean! Leggings all the way but i do love the chinos! I may have to have a try of a pair!
The loafers are adorable but not for me im afraid as i have massive feet & they would look so wrong 🙁 brogues are the same unfortunately! As much as i would love to rock a pair!
New look is definitely coming up trumps lately, there lots of goodies that im loving in there!
Gorgeous post lovely <3

Ahhhh i lovee these trousers! I blogged about them the other day and fell in love 🙁 shame they'd look stupid on me though! You're wearing my perfect s/s outfit and look bloody amazing doing it <3 xo

absoloutely love your hair colour 🙂 xx
Gorgeous! I absolutely live in my jeans, I'm so rubbish when it comes to clothes-no confidence whatsoever 🙁
thank you a lot for all the comments you leave. I get a bit overwhelmed.
@ellysmakeupbag – i use and swear by Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation in Tawny. It does leave a flawless finish on my skin.
@misslucyloves – yes i should have mentioned this, they do do the chinos in a stone colour and also black!
@daintydollymix – thank you for your lovely comment sweetie – pleased to hear you are also loving NL at the mo.
@victoria india – yes i saw your post on the day i took these photos. was spooky, and loved the items you paired the trousers with. gave me much inspiration! x
Oh you look gorgeous sweetie 🙂 xx
I LOVE loafers! these ones are gorgeous. Also, love the trousers. I tried to get some like these in the Topshop sale but didn't have my size BOO xo.
Gorgeous! Love the colour of them, are they 3/4 length or full length?
And those loafers, perfect for spring.
xx
I'm personally not a loathers fan, but I'm loving this outfit! Like I said, as a NL worker it's great to see how people put our stuff together. Love it :).
xoxo
What a cute outfit! xx
I love the rusty colour of those chinos! I'm on the lookout for a peachy coloured pair but these may be alright 🙂 Theres another pair of brown loafers in Riverisland that i've fallen in love with! 🙂 xx
Love the outfit,
your just simply stunning!
I know what you mean,
I have stupidly short legs and trousers never look good >.<
x
I don't know how i'll stop myself from buying a pair of these now!
JUST what I was looking for, thanks a lot 😀 xxx
This is such a pretty outfit, looks really spring like 🙂 Makes me smile!! Loving the colour of the trousers, I'm loving Newlook at the moment. They have some amazing items. I have some in grey & cream from Primark, they're slightly baggy-er, but I love them. I'm like you though, I hardly wear trousers. tights & skirts, or leggings I seem to live in at the moment.
Gorgeous hunny <3
xx
Gorguz look milly & deffo a big love for loafers! They look uber comfy and soo cute 😉 Oh hun, will you pretty please do a tutorial on how to achieve your lovely hair look?? 🙂
Love Aysh xoxo
I really need a pair of tapered trousers, I've had a search around New Look but haven't got round to trying any on yet!
What color is your hair..I LOVE it!
I tweeted this outfit I love it so much! The chinos are a perfect colour and the loafers are just the cherry on top of a delicious cake!
You look so gorgeous.

What a simple, cute outfit! I happen to love loafers. And, can I just say, YOUR ARMS ARE AMAZING. They're so toned and thin! Jealous.
You always look amazing!
This is such a cute outfit, i love it xox
Say loving or loathing loafers 3 times fast 😉
I think you look gorgeous miss. The trousers are a win for me, just not on me as like you I find it near enough impossible to trouser shop. You must have more patience that me! xx
I absolutely adore those loafers, I received them last month for my birthday and there my favourite shoes, comfy comfy and tan!
Lovely little trousers there!x
I'm the same and want to invest in some trousers but i am quite short and feel that they shorten my body and make me look frumpy. Although these trousers look fitting enough not to do so, so i might check these out at my local new look. Thanks for sharing! x
absolutely adore this outfit
x
Simple, yet so chic loving this toned down outfit! :o) xx
I never would have guessed from you pictures that you were petite. You look really tall and slim. I, too, have trouble finding good trousers because of the length.
Re loafers: I think they can look quite cute on some girls, but personally I'm not a fan of them. I prefer brogues.
I love your cable cardigan!
love the outfit!
