As part of J Crew's Hello World campaign, which is being shot by blogger extraordinaires Garance Dore and Scott Schuman, I treated myself to a pair of blog famous pixie pants. Known as a mesh between leggings and something more, I was far too excited to see these land on my doorstep! 'Hello World!' sees J Crew invite worldwide customers to become J Crew Insiders, which means you'll receive benefits such as complimentary expedited shipping and duty-free shopping until 31st August. For us British homebodies, I believe this is a very welcome new feature.

I paired my J Crew pixie pants with that slightly Dolce & Gabbana inspired fruit print peplum top that I'm keeping on reserve this summer, as well as something sheer (of course) to offset the look. Kind of enjoying the double-zip effect at the back, as well as a bit of back flash! As for the pixie pants themselves, they're almost at a 180° difference to what I expected: a culmination of thick leggings paired with tapered trousers, and mine are a smidge too big for me. While I sail through this trouser phase of mine though, they are perfect to a T. ♥
