I created this ring myself at Kendra Scott! If this lawyer thing doesn’t work out, maybe I have a future in jewelry design.

At one point I was so sure culottes would make me look short, but I look freakishly tall in these photos, don’t I? Either I was wrong about culottes, or my camera is possessed with some kind of sorcery. I hate being wrong, so I’m going to assume it’s the latter. I mean, I know I’m wearing heels, but they’re not that tall. And remember when I wore my other pair of culottes with flats? There’s definitely something suspicious going on here.

I will now proceed to write a complaint to Canon asking them why their lens is making me look so good.

IT HAPPENED. I GOT CULOTTES.

AND I LOVE THEM.

Make no mistake, these are not the $15 jersey gauchos I rocked circa 2006 along with every other college white girl in the country. These are actually work appropriate and – dare I say it – sophisticated. I feel like this whole look is very Parisian. Oh la la. Bonjour. Croissant.

And make no second mistake, not all culottes are created equal. They’re everywhere these days, and I tried on several pairs before I found ones that worked for me. So if you want to jump on this very comfy bandwagon, just keep trying. The structured ones didn’t work for me. Flowy was the way to go. But I’m sure it depends on your own style and body type. I love these so much, I’m thinking about ordering them in another color.

Bon weekend!
