CHECKMATE

So for my first post I thought I would keep it plain and simple and post today's outfit. I'm wearing:

White vest top from Zara

Checked cigarette trousers from Topshop (similar here)

Croc sneakers from Topshop (similar here from Missguided)

Handbag from Calvin Klein 

I bought the bag when I was in New York in January and I still absolutely love it! When I seen it in Calvin Klein I just had to have it as it is very similar to the Givenchy Antigona which I have been lusting after for so long but unfortunately don't have the bank balance to purchase. It really is a great size, I can fit almost everything in there - my Macbook, iPad, purse, notebook, pencil case, make-up bag, charger, water bottle etc. so it is ideal for everyday use and the light grey colour means that it easily transitions through the seasons. 

The trousers and shoes I bought last year but there are still similar items available now. The trousers are very versatile - I can wear them casually, like today or dress them up for a night out or even use them as office wear for work. This is an outfit I wore for recent dinner & drinks. 

Cropped polo neck from Topshop

Shoes from Primark (only £9 bargain!!) (similar here from Office)

Clutch bag from Zara (similar here from ASOS)

Two-tone watch from Michael Kors 

How would you style the trousers differently?
