The outfit is just awesome on you, one of my favorites! Which is really a tough thing to say, because I love your style and it's hard to choose favorites. I don't know how you do it with the culottes, but they are super stylish and looking very current, and I don't know if they are even a fringe trend, technically, right now. </p> <p>eta: oops, I was so excited, I commented without reading through all the other comments. I guess they are indeed in style!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-culottes/page/2#post-979638 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 01:28:09 +0000 Jjsloane 979638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the toppers.

Just perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-culottes#post-974764 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 20:31:06 +0000 Susie 974764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you had asked me if I like culottes- before looking at your photos- my answer would have been a definite no. But you rock them!! They look great here. I especially like how you paired them&nbsp;with boots.&nbsp;I picture culottes being a summer weight fabric, and fuller, more like a skirt. These remind me of "gauchos" from the 70's I think.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-culottes#post-974762 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 20:28:33 +0000 Inge 974762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a big fan of culottes, and this is a brilliant outfit, Deborah! Love them with the tall boots, very sophisticated. And I adore the tonal effect you have going on, and how you then add a touch of silver with the necklace, and some crisp white with your watch and accents in the jacket. Beautiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-culottes#post-974757 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 20:25:48 +0000 Debora 974757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah, you are rocking those culottes!

Love how you elevate culottes to an art form. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-culottes#post-974078 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 01:47:05 +0000 amiable 974078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a very similar pair of culottes (same proportions, but mine are a mid-gray with very very narrow pin stripes). &nbsp;They mystify me. &nbsp;No matter what I try, they just don't seem to work. &nbsp;BUT, I've never tried them as a winter item - I always thought shorts+skirt.. It must be summer. But it's a heavy fabrication, and I think I might set them in the fall/winter box and see what I think when it's cooler - they might be perfect over tights.</p> <p>You look completely wonderful and sophisticated, as always. &nbsp;</p> <p>I have a mind to make a summer silk version of your felt toppers. &nbsp;And it occurred to me that the finish on the arm-holes could also be done with fray-check if it was a natural fiber that wouldn't seal by burning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-culottes#post-974076 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 01:44:44 +0000 Caro in Oz 974076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this outfit&nbsp;Deborah, the jacket is fab &amp; I think I may have that blouse :)&nbsp;Culottes sounds better than&nbsp;<span>&nbsp;knee-breeches which is what they were originally called in English&nbsp;:)</p> <p></span> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-culottes#post-974060 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 01:34:32 +0000 Karie 974060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love culottes! In fact, I just bought a pattern to make myself a pair this summer if I ever get around to it.&nbsp;</p> <p>The navy blouse with black&nbsp;culottes is a fantastic combination. Add the moto jacket, and it's simply divine!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-culottes#post-974058 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 01:32:24 +0000 Deborah 974058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good point Suz. Our home totally lends it self to modern minimalism. My furniture is a little eclectic but it still reads as modern. To fill our home with antiques would just be 'wrong' somehow. So is a move on the horizon? From what I have seen in your WIW pics, your home has warmth and reminds me of what I consider to be a very english style (not the cottagy thing, but more the elegant, classic look). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-culottes#post-974055 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 01:28:23 +0000 lyn* 974055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is definitely the modern and edgy way to wear culottes </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-culottes#post-974046 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 01:24:25 +0000 Suz 974046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is going to be my next house.&nbsp;</p> <p>In all honesty, the decor of this house was largely influenced by the house itself. It simply seemed to demand what we have done with it. We already had a fair bit of antique furniture (Canadiana) but in our old house we had white walls and modern art and modern upholstered pieces so the balance worked out. Here we still have the modern art but because of the scale everything feels different. Both Mr. Suz and I would like to open things up but it will have to wait until we move the next time.&nbsp;</p> <p>I hear you on the weather. Warmth with beauty is a good compromise!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-culottes#post-974044 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 01:22:06 +0000 Jaime 974044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them! I have been very interested in&nbsp;culottes lately and this confirms why. You look great! I love the touch with the orange (?) belt/belt buckle too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-culottes#post-974043 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 01:20:21 +0000 NancyT 974043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very elegant Deborah, I love it with and without the jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-culottes#post-974036 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 01:18:25 +0000 Deborah 974036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz you are funny! I like it without the jacket too but it's freezing here today. You are welcome to come and stay anytime. My general minimalism tends to flow through all areas of my life. If I walked away from my desk to make coffee and you passed my office, you wouldn't be sure if I was in at work or not lol. One time, a newly made friend visited us and asked if we were still in the process of setting up our house i.e. had we just moved in lol... it was the empy white walls... he didn't understand why with so much wall space and high ceilings we didn't have paintings etc everywhere </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-culottes#post-974012 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 01:04:18 +0000 Suz 974012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you joking? You must be joking. These are fabulous on you!!!&nbsp;</p> <p>Plus, I absolutely completely adore you in this navy blouse. The jacket is fantastic, too, of course, and a lovely complement, but do you know, I almost prefer the blouse only version? Partly because the combo of the navy and black is so rich and flattering to you, and partly I guess because of my minimalist gene.&nbsp;</p> <p>It is quite funny. To look at my house you would never guess I have a minimalist bone in my body. House dates from 1860s and has small rooms, lots of detailing, stuffed with books, antique furniture.&nbsp;</p> <p>Sometimes I wish I could come live at your place instead.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-culottes#post-974008 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 01:01:02 +0000 always trying 974008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those certainly don't look like what I am associating the word "culottes " with.&nbsp; My mom used to wear something she called culottes but they looked like a divided skirt-much fuller looking than yours.&nbsp; I always hated hers and never owned such a thing.&nbsp; Yours are very nice looking!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-culottes#post-973983 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 00:46:36 +0000 Anonymous 973983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love these!
