I've finally found a pair of culottes I really like.
I love the look of culottes on other people, and have always wanted them to look good on me....but I have had more than my fair share of issues with them!
See my culotte disasters HERE, HERE and HERE
Culottes have caused me a few problems to say the least.
These culottes were hanging sadly on the "Everything for a Pound" rail at my local charity shop.
All crumpled and pathetic looking.
Once I had freshened them up (with a wash and iron) they were as good as new.
The handkerchief pattern was a dream to mix and match with these spring colours.
A soft blue and a peachy tone.
Adding touches of black to pull everything together.
These nude sandals are so sneaky.
They are designed in such a way that I can slip a sheepskin liner into the toe...soft as a cloud, and cosy too.
Perfect for days when you want to pretend it is spring but the thermometer is not so keen!
My nude/blush leather jacket finished this look off perfectly!
CULOTTES: River Island... These are gorgeous...so are these!
SHOES: Vagabond...similar.
BLUE TOP: Vintage... this is nice.
PEACH TOP: Urban Outfitters...this peach shirt would work beautifully.
NECKLACE: Tatty Devine
BAG: Topshop...similar
JACKET: Superdry
GET THE LOOK
I was wondering if there was a sheepskin liner :-) I think the reason these culottes work so well is that the material doesn't look too heavy. Very lovely colour combination.

Hahaha.... I always try to sneak in something for extra warmth Gail. :oP
DeleteEven in the height of summer my toes can sometimes need a little extra to stop them turning blue!
You are right...these culottes are light and floaty, maybe that is the secret?
Thank you for your kind words. XXX
I was just thinking when I saw that title, that "yea....she found some culottes!!" And of course you got them for the best deal ever, Samantha!!

Hahaha... Yes Suzy! We had a good few days of genuine warmth and I do have layers on here (even tights!) and it was fine. There were people in shorts hee yesterday (Although Scottish folk go crazy as soon as there is a glimmer of sun) and there was SNOW last week! It's bonkers :oP XXX
DeleteI love the pattern on these culottes.
ReplyDeleteYou've done a better job than I did at making culottes your friend.

Thank you Suzanne...they do have a vintage feel don't they? Although, unfortunately they are modern polyester :o(. X
