(I'm wearing mine today too ^^) As Angie said, the black+hard edge bootie paired with the soft pink ruffle tank and pink bag is great juxtaposition. Did you enjoy the whooshing as you were striding today? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---culottes-and-a-bit-of-ruffle#post-1337213 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 21:25:53 +0000 Lyn D. 1337213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them!<br />Culottes could be the next 'printed pant' for me- out of my comfort zone but worth trying.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---culottes-and-a-bit-of-ruffle#post-1337131 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 19:37:50 +0000 E 1337131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love these culottes, both for themselves (this is the shape that looks best to my eye, probably because I love full skirts, hehe)&nbsp;and on you. &nbsp;What a fun choice in footwear too!

Nice rescue of the culottes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---culottes-and-a-bit-of-ruffle#post-1337003 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 17:33:10 +0000 Suz 1337003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah...so great! What a beautiful look on you! The juxtaposition of the soft pink and the boots (so cool) -- the glorious volume of the culottes with the slim top -- not to mention the coolest hairstyle west of Deborah -- this is stunning on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---culottes-and-a-bit-of-ruffle#post-1336957 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 16:13:13 +0000 Jaime 1336957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:-)!&nbsp;<br />I feel so silly that I was almost going to give these culottes away! I just needed to see some great examples to get my eyes adjusted to the volume.<br />Meredith, I think there should be culotte sub-categories and these are firmly in the culotte wide group.<br />Shannon, you know how much I value your opinion - nuff said?<br />Sara I think the shoes are what made me dare to wear these!<br />Jackie, ditto regarding the shoes. The pink and black is thanks to the fall shows vis a vis Angie. I love the combination of pink and black!<br />Kelly and Rachy, now if I could only figure out what the heck the green almond brand is all about!<br />Staysfit, your comment is a delight. You understand all of us shorter of stature are very nervous about trying longer, wider pants like these. Of course you would look marvelous in this style with your height!&nbsp;<br />Lisa, wow thanks! As I keep saying the pink and black is from Angie's wonderful guidance and the olive, apart from being a fun combination with pink, is sort of a nude for me!<br />Angie, your sweet words always boost me beyond reason. xo right&nbsp;back to you.</p> <p>ETA - Anna you were stunning in your culottes when I saw you - a major inspiration!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---culottes-and-a-bit-of-ruffle#post-1336956 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 16:13:06 +0000 annagybe 1336956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hooray for culottes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---culottes-and-a-bit-of-ruffle#post-1336939 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 15:49:46 +0000 Anonymous 1336939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it when a colour pairing is surprising f(to me) and yet so perfect- like you have done here with the shoes and tank against a black bottom. &nbsp;Fantastic look on you ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---culottes-and-a-bit-of-ruffle#post-1336937 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 15:43:56 +0000 Staysfit 1336937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shevia, You look fantastic! &nbsp;I love the culottes! &nbsp;I think they are so flattering on you and wouldn't change a thing. &nbsp;I love your shoe choice. &nbsp;I really love the bag. &nbsp;It added just the right pop to the outfit. &nbsp;</p> <p>It tempts me to see&nbsp;if they make them in tall sizes?! &nbsp;(Imitation is the greatest form of flattery)&nbsp;Once again, I am wishing that I knew how to sew clothes. &nbsp;I sense a new hobby in the wings.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---culottes-and-a-bit-of-ruffle#post-1336921 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 15:09:14 +0000 rachylou 1336921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pants are super! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---culottes-and-a-bit-of-ruffle#post-1336905 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 14:55:57 +0000 kellygirl 1336905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this!

LOVE! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---culottes-and-a-bit-of-ruffle#post-1336858 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 14:19:49 +0000 Angie 1336858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous.</p> <p>The angular culottes and hard edge shoes toughen up the pink ruffle. Fab juxtaposition.&nbsp;xo</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---culottes-and-a-bit-of-ruffle#post-1336845 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 14:02:22 +0000 Sara L. 1336845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great outfit!&nbsp; I like the soft pink with the wide culottes and those shoes are fabulous.&nbsp; Perfect for the culottes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---culottes-and-a-bit-of-ruffle#post-1336825 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 13:38:33 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1336825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These culottes are super flattering on you Jaime and I adore the length and width of them. I think the proportions with the slimmer top work beautifully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---culottes-and-a-bit-of-ruffle#post-1336824 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 13:37:03 +0000 Meredith 1336824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, there can be no&nbsp;debate over whether theses are culottes or crop pants! &nbsp;I haven't thought too much about my culotte preferences&nbsp;because I just don't think they will ever fly without turning heads here in middle America, but this wiw makes me realize that I really do prefer the more voluminous versions. &nbsp;So fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---culottes-and-a-bit-of-ruffle#post-1336817 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 13:25:53 +0000 Jaime 1336817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Neel you are one of my culotte inspirations so I was delighted that you like them!<br />Janet, I was taken aback to have my style called dramatic. Thanks for the food for thought!<br />Ceit and Joyce, thanks for the vote of confidence on the top. I was a little stumped, so to speak.<br />Viva I have been playing with pink and black ever since Angie's review of the fall shows - I really like the combination too!<br />Aubergine, I think there must be culottes that appeal to almost everyone because they come in so many widths, lengths and styles.&nbsp;</p> <p>ETA Meredith, I&nbsp;think these might be my most culottey culottes yet! Thanks Amy!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---culottes-and-a-bit-of-ruffle#post-1336814 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 13:24:27 +0000 amiable 1336814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them too!&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---culottes-and-a-bit-of-ruffle#post-1336812 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 13:19:47 +0000 Meredith 1336812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can culottes be too wide? &nbsp;I think they look so great. &nbsp;I'm really no expert on length, though, so I will let others speak to that detail. &nbsp;What a fab (and thrifty!) outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---culottes-and-a-bit-of-ruffle#post-1336786 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 12:42:38 +0000 Anonymous 1336786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't gotten into culottes, but I think this is one of my favorite culotte outfits so far. Maybe because this pair is wide and fluid enough that it almost looks like a midi skirt at first glance, and because the simple fitted top balances it out so well. I love the shoes too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---culottes-and-a-bit-of-ruffle#post-1336770 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 12:20:32 +0000 viva 1336770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really nice. I am warming up to this trend -- not for me, but on others. I like this outfit -- and I really really love the palette. The neutral shoes and the warm pink tones, with the grounding black -- just fabulous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---culottes-and-a-bit-of-ruffle#post-1336769 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 12:18:29 +0000 Joyce B 1336769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them with that soft looking top.<br /> I may also try some culottes, they should be great for Fall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---culottes-and-a-bit-of-ruffle#post-1336767 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 12:16:57 +0000 Janet 1336767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them for you! They suit your dramatic style. And those shoes are amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---culottes-and-a-bit-of-ruffle#post-1336765 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 12:13:43 +0000 Anonymous 1336765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like them!
