River Island crop top, Topshop satin culottes, Tony Bianco heels, Balenciaga clutch, Erickson Beamon earrings I know, I know; I’m a little bit behind. I’ve been on the fence about culottes for the longest time; will I suit them? Will they be flattering on me? What colour? What length to go for? Voluminous or streamlined? Pleated or not? But, with a little ‘push’, I’ve spent the better part of my free time scouring the internet for a pair – black, to be safe. I’ve been eying up this pair from Country Road, and a few pairs from ASOS which are…
T by Alexander Wang stripe top, girl. by Band of Outsiders skirt (similar style), Acne mape leather jacket (cheaper alternative), Proenza Schouler PS11 bag, Charlotte Olympia ‘virgo’ flats (on sale!)
