The Culottes Edit

I love the culotte trend, some people seem to pull them off so so well. As I am quite a petite size, I thought culottes may look ridiculous and over bearing on me, but then I spotted these baby's...on ebay...and I won them for a mere £3. They are vintage marks and spencer culottes in a monochrome print (made for me obviously) and just my size, some say it is fate.  They are less baggy than some designs going around at the minute, which for me I think suits me more. So here it is, how I styled out the culotte trend on a budget.

Culottes: vintage off ebay

Top: Topshop

Boots: pull and bear

I kept the styling simple, I like minimalistic looks, nothing to fancy but something that still looks like you have made an effort. I styled the monochrome culottes with my all time favourite black boots and a simple white shirt. I then forced my friend Emily out on the street to take pictures of me, of course.

How are you styling the culotte trend?

Well isn't this year going ridiculously fast? It is the 1st September 2014 and dare I say it, Christmas is just around the corner. To celebrate the new month and the fact I still have no money, I thought I would do a 'what I really want but can't afford' wish list.

Pleated midi skirt

Basic bra

Turtle neck jumper

Handbag

Textured crop

Leather shoes

I have been absolutely loving basic items than you can dress up and down. My aim is to have my wardrobe filled with classic staples rather than buying everything I like (and will probably only wear once). I think it is time to step away from bargains and go for good quality items I can wear each year. (Ok, maybe a few bargains here and there)
