Natalie, I know you will be able to own these trousers when you wear them. Looking at your regular WIW posts and comparing them to the floral trouser outfit I believe there is a key ingredient missing, a pinch of vintage.
I came across this image of MM and thought of your trousers, cuffed at the hem a couple of times, a crisp shirt and a pair of ballet flats. This vintage fashion look feels more in keeping with how I perceive your style goals.
Please do correct me if I am off the mark.
