I found these amazing Céline boots at TK Maxx for only € 191 – they originally cost around € 1200! Isn’t this crazy? I still can’t understand why they landed at TK Maxx or why they were that much cheaper, but since I actually fell in love with the design before I saw the brand (and was extremely surprised when I saw that they’re Céline!), I just smiled and walked straight to the cashier.
These are the softest leather boots ever and I love the bordeaux color, the heel design and – even though I already got a → pair of boots with the same detail – the zipper in front.

I’ve never really shown this blazer on the blog. I still remember the day when I wanted to buy it: I spent almost an hour thinking if I should buy it or not and finally left the store without it – just to send my husband to the store the next day because I couldn’t live without it. And still it’s one of the pieces I almost never wear because I don’t really like blazers on me. For today’s look it was just perfect, even though it doesn’t have the same color as the shoes, but it’s from the same color family (and the difference is only that big in the pictures).
Styling culottes has become one of my favorite occupations because they’re really not that easy to style and look great with when you’re fat. So that’s why I love trying different things with them and showing you my ideas and maybe inspire you to do the same and be creative with your clothes. Because there are no limits, only possibilities!

One of the special details of the look can’t be seen in the pictures (don’t know why the camera hid it): the shirt I’m wearing is semi-transparent and you can see my bra, that’s why I chose a very special one. Maybe you can see it better on your screen, maybe not, but I really liked the idea. Too bad that sometimes reality is a bit different from the photos (like my height, I really don’t know why I always look so tall…).

Coat: Marina Rinaldi (vintage)
Sweater: Doris Streich
Culotte: Manon Baptiste
Belt: Ted Baker “Julo”
Boots: Acne  Studios “Alma Texture”
Earrings: & Other Stories
Bracelet: Hermès
Alternatives: Monki coat,
ASOS sweater, Fashion Union culotte,
Pieces belt, River Island boots,
ASOS earrings

All black is my all-time favorite. I’d even say that it’s the most sophisticated look a fashionista can wear and if you add that little special extra (in my case it’s the bright red matte lip color), you’ll look stylish as hell. ;)

Culottes were one of the most interesting clothing pieces of last year. I think they are pretty nice and very versatile, you can create extremely cool looks with them and even though you’re almost wearing shorts in winter, you’ll still stay warm enough. Normally, culottes are a bit longer, but I had mine shortened a little more than usual because I think that I’m actually a bit too short to wear them in calf length. I guess that’s the best style of them for me. :)

I went for an all-black look, wearing a very cozy and comfortable sweater and almost flat boots. My favorite vintage coat is my best friend in winter – you’ve already seen it a lot here on the blog. And its texture somehow even matches my boots. It’s all about the details, right? ;)

Outfit ♥ Culottes – II

Jacket: Love Moschino (via TK Maxx)
Top: H&M
Culottes:
Manon Baptiste (via navabi)
Belt: Ted Baker “Julo”
Mules: Steffen Schraut (via TK Maxx)
Sunglasses:
Dolce & Gabbana “Sicilian Baroque”
Bracelet: Sal y Limon
Alternatives: ASOS culottes, Vero Moda culottes, River Island belt, Unisa mules, bagatt mules

DEDen zweiten Look mit den Culottes schiebe ich heute gleich nach – dieses Mal etwas frühlingshafter und zugegebenermaßen auch mein Favorit, wenn ich mich zwischen den beiden Outfits entscheiden müsste. ;) Für das Styling hab’ ich dieses Mal die Culottes einfach noch ein bisschen höher getragen und sie mit einem Gürtel fixiert, was mir persönlich noch viel besser gefällt, weil es einfach ein wenig besonderer aussieht. :)

Ich bin ja hier vor Kurzem ein kleiner “TK Maxx”-Addict geworden, nachdem ich ein paar schöne Sachen gefunden habe (jetzt bin ich eigentlich so ziemlich jeden Samstag mal dort und mutiere zum Trüffelschwein, auf der Suche nach kleinen Highlights) – dazu gehören heute das Jäckchen und die Mules. :)

ENI’m already following up with my second culottes look – this time, it’s a little bit more spring-like and to be honest, my favorite of the two outfits. :) I wore the culottes a bit more high-waisted and added a belt. I really like the look of it because it’s a little bit more special. :)
Since I found some nice things at TK Maxx, I became an addict and you can find me at the store almost every Saturday, playing truffle pig and searching for little highlights. ;) Today’s TK Maxx pieces in this outfit are the jacket and the mules. :)

Outfit ♥ Style Council: Culottes – I

DEOutfittechnisch geht es direkt weiter mit einem aktuellen Trend, den ich unbedingt ausprobieren wollte. Die Hauptrolle spielt also heute die Hose, um genau zu sein: die Culottes. Da ich etwas kleiner bin (ich musste neulich sehr über den Begriff “Mensch McNugget” lachen!!), musste die Hose für mich erst mal noch ein Stückchen gekürzt werden, um die eigentliche Länge zu haben. Das Praktische: je nachdem, wie man sich gerade bewegt, könnte man auch meinen, dass es ein (Midi-)Rock ist. :)

Meinen → neuesten “Style Council”-Beitrag habe ich also diesem Trendteil gewidmet und heute eine eher romantische Kombi mit Rosa für euch. Ein zweiter Look mit den Culottes ist schon im Kasten und wartet noch darauf, gebloggt zu werden. Ich bin gespannt, wie eure Meinung zu dem besonderen Hosenschnitt ist!

ENTalking about new experiments, today it’s time for a current trend: culottes. Mine had to be shortened (in order to have the intended length) as I’m a Human McNugget (read this some time ago and thought that it was pretty funny!). What I really like about this kind of trousers is that depending on how you’re moving, they even look like a (midi) skirt. They’re very versatile and for → my latest “Style Council” article I went for a more romantic combination with pink. We already shot a second look with the culottes, so stay tuned! I’m curious to know what you think about these very special trousers!
