Very crisp and fun all at once. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---utilizing-my-new-black-things#post-651813 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 09:01:18 +0000 Astrid 651813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Aida! I hadn't worn them for some time, so I decided they had to be part of the outfit. I think you're right, I'm going to try this with bare legs too. But then maybe not with the sweater, but with my thinner black and white striped top. If it's warm enough to leave of the tights I would be too hot with the knit sweater and the blazer on top. </p> <p>Thanks Abie! I discovered these last autumn, when I helped my mum with closet purging, just a day after Angie wrote a blog post about culottes. I love wearing them. You're right about the casual vibe, I guess it just feels dressy to me because I wear a blazer instead of my usual denim jacket.</p> <p>Thanks Kiwichik and Scarlet!</p> <p>Thanks MaryK! I'm glad you like it so much.</p> <p>Thanks Denise! Love the colors too. And I'm definitely a pattern mixing fan now... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---utilizing-my-new-black-things#post-651778 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 05:51:06 +0000 CocoLion 651778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the color scheme and the pattern mixing going on with the striped top and floral scarf. Just flawless! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---utilizing-my-new-black-things#post-651764 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 04:42:48 +0000 MsMary 651764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>l love this, Astrid!

I hadn't seen the culottes before, those are so cute!! This outfit doesn't read over-dressy to me at all, it still has a casual vibe though it could pass for business casual too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---utilizing-my-new-black-things#post-651549 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 00:18:04 +0000 Aida 651549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yesss my favorite culottes come out again You look fab Astrid, I love the textural and color interest you've got in this outfit. If the weather agrees, I think this would also work well sans tights (the black flats and stripes should be enough to balance out the black jacket). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---utilizing-my-new-black-things#post-651437 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 21:32:46 +0000 Astrid 651437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie!

I'll definitely wear the jacket with the culottes again. It's just the right length for skirts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---utilizing-my-new-black-things#post-651161 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 16:22:20 +0000 Transcona Shannon 651161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The layering of the tights is fantastic! And the culottes and jacket go so well together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---utilizing-my-new-black-things#post-651153 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 16:14:47 +0000 Meredith1953 651153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Astrid,<br /> I really like the jacket with the striped top and skirt! The tights add another cute pattern! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---utilizing-my-new-black-things#post-651150 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 16:13:19 +0000 Astrid 651150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The weather is still miserable and I thought I'd try to wear the black ballet flats and blazer in a happy way. The sweater is a bit thick to layer under the jacket, but my other striped shirt was in the laundry. I also layered some tights, the black poka dot ones over a red pair, to soften the black next to the culottes. </p> <p>This is fairly dressy for me on a normal day, but I really like it!</p> <p>What do you think? </p>
