Can't touch this!


Yesterday I had a lovely few hours to myself to hit the shops. I was full of it when I came home with my new purchases. Mr C&B was not quite so pleased.

When I showed him my new beige, but lets call them mink, harem trousers, aka MC Hammer pants or elephants arse trousers (as he has now renamed them) he told me had never seen me wear anything so vile.

They are the most comfortable thing ever and there I was thinking they looked pretty sweet.
Tell me, have I lost my way in the style stakes or should I wear them and be proud?
Will the elephants arse trousers go back to Topshop?
You decide!

Marisa - you do not need to comment - I can hear you laughing already!

  1. I like them, but you've mentioned (whisper) Top Shop...take them back. Can't let you buy things from there!!! You'll wash them once and never know which way to put them on!

  7. This post has made me laugh all morning Amy. The photo's, your words and then the comments. You must keep them if only to lift us and obviously you must now develop a proper M.C Hammer routine. And as Kirsty kindly pointed out they are multi purpose. L x

  12. kirsty elson you are a mean and cruel sister, but the pair of you have made me nearly pee my pants with laughter this evening, my husband thinks elephants arse trousers is the funniest thing ever and is going to use it on his return to school. i can't comment fashion wise as i am always 3 years behind the trend - i still can't cope with skinny jeans as they make my legs look like parma hams!! and re your post about swimwear i too have this problem and bought one with inbuilt boobs. however have since discovered that they get water logged and if you race up the ladder quickly in the pool the boob bits stay still while the rest of your chest carries on upwards! - all very embaressing especially for the pensioner who was waiting to come down the ladder and was met with a pair of bare boobs over the top of the soggy foam ones!!! men never have these problems grrr.
