The Kirsty Files: Another Episode of Culottes.

I'm sounding like a broken record a lot lately on the blog...

comfort.

versatility.

culottes.

Love.

It reminds me of taking a speech class in college and they video taped us giving a speech, then we had to watch it back in fast forward. Why? But it is effective in seeing all the gestures and tendencies that I make. Yep, comfort and culottes, and trying to convince you all versatile pieces aren't boring. Tendencies. Thank goodness I can't see my blog in fast-forward.

I don't know why I'm so into culottes, but I am. These have been an easy summer piece for me, dressing them up a bit more in this outfit with stacked heel sandals, but I have also worn them with booties, and in prep for fall. I can add a jean jacket as the temps dip a bit, and then with a turtleneck, taking these culottes into fall fabulously.

And the tank knotted instead of tucked. When I have high-waisted bottoms on, I like to mix up the style a bit by tying my shirt - giving just a hint of mid-riff but staying appropriate.

And as long as we are on the subject of versatility, I love these earrings. Please mix your metals, especially if you tend to wear only gold or only silver, this is a great way to branch out. No more rules here, gold and silver are a great combo.
