Skirt/pants? Vintage, Netty Vintage (amazing pleated ones hereLace top? Vintage, Netty Vintage (similar here) Jacket? Costa Blanca Purse? c/o Jess Rizzuti Boots? Aldo Necklace? Vintage, gift from my Mama

This skirt is giving me trust issues because it's tricky; doubly so. First of all, it's not a skirt...

And second of all, it's not black but navy. Which is fine but it's something I didn't notice at night when I laid out my outfit. If I had clued into the fact that the culottes were navy before I ran out of the house and into the truth exposing light of day, the outfit might have been a bit different. Meh. I still like it. 
And as much as I am hoping for spring, I do want to wear these heavy woollen culottes one more time this season... maybe with a little red cropped sweater? It's nice to finally have a 'skirt' one can high kick in without flashing anyone. Not that I can high kick so well but I appreciate the possibility.

  3. You look great! The specs really send the message.

    Well, I had to go back and double-check the colour. I didn't notice the navy at first. I think you pulled it off, despite the navy/black. I think because of the sheen on the leather, it works.

    Sybil from Downton Abbey would be so pleased to see women rocking the culotte look.

  12. I hate when I don't realize things are a different shade until I'm gone and it's too late!
    But even though this isn't a skirt and isn't necessarily black I love it! And that lace top is so wonderful

  13. I love the surprise of the skort (can you still call it a skort if it's too long to be shorts?) Anyway, I think you are going to have a lot of fun with these culottes :)

  14. This is one of my favorite outfits! I love the skirt pants..it has the appearance of a skirt but you could do a cartwheel and all kinds of shit without exposing anything. I love the mix of navy and black, although unintentional. It turned out perfect. I'm a sucker for a leather jacket and this outfit is just bad add.
