Spring Trend Alert - Culottes

Who is excited to add a pair of culottes to their wardrobe for spring? This girl! The Zoe Report talked about it in December, People Stylewatch reported on it in their February issue, and Style My Way is telling you all about it today! I love the flared leg, the menswear inspired cut, and the fact that they come in so many different styles. Pleated, cuffed, flat front, side zipped, and elastic waist. They're made of wool, cotton, denim, silk, and lace. And I've found four pair that I would wear in a heart beat! 

 One/Two/Three/Four

Cropped sweaters, fitted tees, printed button downs, and little blazers are all pieces I would pair with these cool pants. As for shoes, I'm pretty sure I would wear heels with each and everyone one, but I could be persuaded to wear an oxford for a little throwback look. 

What do you think of the newest trend? Having flashbacks or a sudden interest to hit the checkout button? I can't wait to hear your response!

Happy Trends Thursday!

Yesterday was my fifth consecutive day of a fever, and yes I went to work, but I just wasn't feeling it! Hence the cropped, colored jeans and basic black tee. However, this tee is anything but basic. Purchased during a girls trip to NY in 2007, which was a whirlwind trip, it is so on trendy with the delicate lace but so comfy because its a t-shirt!

How I've worn these jeans before:

 

 I've had this tin of Rosebud Salve since the early 80s! It was given to me by my great grandmother who used this product for years prior. Good for a little hint of color, chapped lips, burns, rashes and more and immensely popular among makeup artists of late. Funny, a product that's been around since the late 1800s returns to the masses! Again, I'm a trend setter, or at least my great grandmother was!
