Those culottes are made for you--perfect length and fit. I love the way you're wearing your hair; it's so flattering to your face. I swear you look better and better every time I see you post. Hope you get some relief from work and commute so you can achieve just the right balance! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-culottes-1/page/2#post-1684901 Fri, 24 Jun 2016 22:43:29 +0000 Jenava 1684901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them with the top tucked, as it breaks up the horizontal white line at your hips and is more flattering, IMO, but either version is very chic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-culottes-1/page/2#post-1684893 Fri, 24 Jun 2016 22:24:27 +0000 Ornella 1684893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I promised to return to this thread later <b>Thank you all</b> again, I was hoping for some reassurance that I was on the right track with the culottes experiment, but your kind comments I glanced over while waking up with a cup of coffee were like additional dose of caffeine and left me feeling like I was walking on the cloud <i>the whole day</i>. Ah, the magic of YLF boosts…</p> <p>I am also thrilled you like my longer hair. For those who asked: Yes, this is my naturally wavy hair, almost wash-and-go with minimal styling. Just the way I always imagined my long hair should look like, but it took an almost random hairdresser in a small Italian village where we went on the winter holidays to get it right! Now I’m in the process of looking for a new hairstylist, given that the Italian lady lives too far away and I’ve decided my previous regular hairstylist deserved no more chances since I practically was only not holding the scissors for him. At least I know where I'll want to go next winter :-)</p> <p>But back to culottes, they instantly closed the gap in the wardrobe I identified a while ago and really brought home how old(er), established content of the wardrobe can be efficiently refreshed by something new, different, modern, unexpected. I have more ideas what to wear them with and will hopefully share them with you in the future.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-culottes-1#post-1684686 Fri, 24 Jun 2016 14:29:52 +0000 Inge 1684686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hurrah!!! An Ornella post!!!<br />I can't even tell you how often I think about you, fab lady, and I'm glad to hear you are doing well, albeit extremely busy. </p> <p>This outfit is pure perfection from head to toe. You look so elegant and modern, and the proportions are spot on. These culottes are so fantastic on you!! Love them with the striped top (of course I do;-), and I think tucked and semi-tucked both work. The perforated bag adds crispness and subtle textural interest. Love!!</p> <p>Like everyone else, I too am completely blown away by your longer, wavy hair with the playful. SOOOO good!!! (Is your hair naturally wavy? Curious to hear how you get it to look this good).</p> <p>Seeing you post just made my day!!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-culottes-1#post-1684647 Fri, 24 Jun 2016 13:22:42 +0000 Sara L. 1684647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's so great to see you again!&nbsp; I love the new longer hair.&nbsp; I think the culottes look great on you.&nbsp; They seem like a nice addition for spring/summer - something a little different but suitable for work.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-culottes-1#post-1684620 Fri, 24 Jun 2016 12:43:32 +0000 donnat 1684620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is great to see you again.

So nice to see you post! You are looking gorgeous -- I particularly love your longer hair and the bangs. The culottes are perfect on you, and I like the top with a semi-tuck.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-culottes-1#post-1684583 Fri, 24 Jun 2016 11:03:03 +0000 skylurker 1684583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello Mrs O.<br /> Culottes look fabulous and I'm partial to black&amp;white and breton tops, so I love this. Pointy flats work really well with the culottes. Top tucked or half tucked, both are ok. A welted top would work too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-culottes-1#post-1684581 Fri, 24 Jun 2016 10:49:30 +0000 Helen11 1684581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great look with culottes.

It's tricky. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-culottes-1#post-1684567 Fri, 24 Jun 2016 08:55:22 +0000 bella 1684567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey Ornella!
