Happy Monday my
angels!
I hope
you are having a wonderful day and you aren’t feeling the Monday blues too
badly: I’m sending you #MondayMotivatio vibes if so! Today I’ve had the day off
and my best friend Molly has come up to see me from Brighton for a girly
sleepover and chill so I’m having the best Monday I’ve had in fair while! Any
adventures we get up to I’ll ensure its all caught on camera to get a post up
for you guys to have a little nose at!
Anyway,
I thought I’d share with you my current wardrobe staple: culottes. Admittedly
these aren’t as cropped as some other culottes I own (I blame a big part of
this on being a bit on the petite side) but these were such a good investment
buy. I picked these up from Boohoo for only £20 and I’ve been wearing them non
stop- with white V neck tee's to graphic crops to just jersey basics- they are
so wearable and make a change to throwing on a pair of jeans everyday. These
trousers have a fabric composition that makes them slightly heavier- which
means they hang more naturally from the elasticated waistline than what regular
jersey fit culottes usually do- and I love how they have a premium sort of edge
and knowing they won’t fade. You can also buy the matching co-ord top to these
trousers- I think its around £18- which nails that laid back/joggers style
dressing everyone is rocking at the moment if you’d prefer a less tighter top
like I’m wearing here.
I
uploaded this post as when I’ve spoken to friends about culottes they’ve said
how hard they find them to wear, but in all honesty I find them super easy to
throw on. The best way to look at how to wear them is imagine they are your die-hard
favourite Joni Topshop/high waisted jeans: the tight, high waisted top make
them just as wearable except instead of a skinny jean the whole way down it’s a
wide leg style and slightly cropped. Try them with trainers, flats or a pair of
killer courts and see how often you’ll go back to wearing them. If in doubt
stick to a solid colour like I have here (they are also completely office
appropriate) or try some bright prints to add a bit of a statement. Play around with different tops like a shirt for the office or a casual crop like I have for going shopping. Don't be afraid to give them a try and watch them become that wardrobe staple you reach for when you've got no idea what to wear.
What are your
thoughts on culottes? Are you a fan?
