Sunday's fashion question of the day:

How can I get away with wearing as few clothes as possible without being completely inappropriate for church?

Long lost post.

Raquette Culottes, Anthropologie

T-strap wedges, Clarks
bangles, Aldo

sunnies, Brighton

I wore this outfit a while ago, but for some reason this post got lost in blog purgatory.  I am in full on Spring cleaning mode after finding a Christmas decoration that I have yet to pack away.  So I thought I should clean up the blog as well as the house.  You can pretend I wore this today, but admittedly I am in my cleaning clothes...  a house dress, apron, pearls and kitten heels.

I'm bringing culottes back.

These Anthropologie shorts caught my attention more than once, but I wasn't sure because they are kind of "out there."  Well, if we're being honest, they aren't shorts, they're culottes.  But I liked the quirkiness and they reminded me of something Allie Calhoun (from The Notebook) might wear.  My sister, with her commitment to honesty, made a face when I stepped out of the dressing room.  But the Black Friday extra 25% off madness got the best of me so I bought these quirky culottes and this sweet little blouse.  With a bit of defiance I said to myself, "I'm bringing culottes back."

I went to the Ritz with my sister and best friend (who is my playgroup co-leader) for dinner and a slumber party that weekend.  With a smidge of certitude, I paired my Black Friday culottes with my new blouse, navy tights, oxford heels, a belt, and finished off my look with cherry red lips.  I thought I looked pretty darn cute for our fancy dinner.  My sister agreed.  (Mini party in my head and confidence boost.)

That's right, people.  I'm bringing culottes back.
