I will look out for it on the Monsoon website. Do you know I don't think that I have ever seen you wearing trousers on this blog. I say go with whatever makes you happy and is comfortable to wear, curtains or not. <br />YouMother of Reinventionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14409826036412353940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211353948967221274.post-49241445557357055502018-09-13T19:10:45.715+01:002018-09-13T19:10:45.715+01:00I'm not a fan of skinny trousers myself.

I tend to see myself larger than I am which can be just as bad when you're swimming in oversized, roomy items (unless it is a caftan, of course). I rather like the idea of looking like a sofa, but not one covered in plastic. <br /><br /Goodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17383404429461423998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211353948967221274.post-77961176577331964902018-09-12T22:06:36.996+01:002018-09-12T22:06:36.996+01:00Hello Urchins!!
