I bought these culottes last summer in NYC, and my oh my how comfortable they are! And the elastic band is a game changer. I’ve paired them with a black cropped tank, they would also look cute with a white button down tied up or a blouse tucked in. I love the contrast of the burnt orange bomber, which adds a little drama but also keeps me warm in a freezing cold office.

The Unsuspecting Piece

Once again, I have fun getting dressed in the morning. I’ve paired two older pieces and brought them back to life! The blouse is technically a tunic which allows me to have ample fabric to tie. The skirt is a great transition piece that I can pair with a white blouse in the summer and with a black sweater for the fall and winter. The piece I’m most proud of is the black suede slide that I’m wearing. I got these at TJ Maxx for $16.99, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. This style is selling at big department stores for over $200. Mine look the same yet cost a fraction of the price.
