OK, here’s my Olympics commentary for the day:

I don’t understand the female athletes who can do what they’re doing with their hair flying around. All I do is sit at a desk all day and be a lawyer (super easy stuff), and I have to braid my bangs and put my hair in a bun when it’s been more than 24 hours since a fresh wash. I’m not running or vaulting or playing volleyball. My most strenuous activity most days is leaning down to get snacks out of my bottom desk drawer. (Don’t judge. Eating multiple small meals is good for your metabolism. Or something like that.)

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!
