Mum on the Run - Chic Accessories

In this case my chic accessory is Peppa Pig - who is peeping out of my bag.  Well, there's no reason why a pig can't travel in style is there?!  I was working this morning and I don't know about you but at the moment I find the weather a bit tricky. Fairly cold first thing but then really warm by about 11.00am. 

I wore some new navy peg leg trousers.  What I like about them is that they feel like silk but are made of tencel (polyester).  I must see if they crackle when I take them off in the dark!  They can be machine washed and cost £39.50 from the Portfolio range at M&S.  I removed the belt, which felt a bit cheap and put my skinny leopard one on instead. 

Peg trousers can be tricky to wear if you carry more weight on your hips as they can add bulk but tencel is not too rigid so that helps. They also need at least a bit of a heel and whatever top you are wearing needs either to be tucked in or finish just above the waistband. I wore a bright pink top underneath for colour and added a cropped 1950's style jacket.
