Do you ever have those days when you just don’t know what to wear? Well, this was one of those days. I try to plan my outfit the night before if I’m going somewhere, but I wasn’t that organised on this occasion. Consequently, I had to cobble together an outfit at the last minute. I grabbed these culottes and this T-shirt that I’d pulled out of a case while packing for my holiday last month. The T-shirt is a few years old now; I first wore it almost seven years ago – with the same necklace – and then again a year later.
In fact, nothing in this outfit is new; it’s good to rediscover old items that have been stored away and forgotten about. These orange striped culottes are great for summer – they’re lightweight, comfortable and make quite a statement with the bold print. I’ve featured them on the blog twice before (here and here) – both times with a black vest top. As I was in work, I wanted a bit more coverage on my arms and chest, so I opted for a T-shirt instead. There was a cool breeze so I added my denim jacket, which gives the outfit quite a casual look. To balance this, I added the beaded bib necklace, which elevates what is essentially a basic combination. Jewellery can really transform an outfit…I don’t feel fully dressed without it!

The statement culottes are fabulous- love them! But I’m obsessed with that cute tee! xx
These photos are incredible! What a work of art and I love how the lines of your skirt look with the lines in the art-piece!
Your ” cobbled together” outfit still looks high end! The culottes are a real statement piece. I always wear jewellery when going out.
This outfit works very well together! Also love the denim jacket on it. I don’t wear that much accessories and often forget to add some. But I agree that they make a outfit!
Love these striped culottes! What a fun background as well for these photos!

Those culottes are amazing!
Your hastily pulled together outfit turned out great! I love the bright striped statement culottes with the graphic tee-it looks like they were made for each other. Thanks for the favorite mention and the link up. Enjoy your week!
Emma, you wouldn’t know this outfit was cobbled together at the last minute. Totally fabulous! I love your copious use of orange.

I thought your culottes were a skirt at first – I love the volume!
I hope you are having a great week so far!
