If there’s one thing I’ve learned from being a New Yorker, it’s that we love to wear black.

There’s something really perfect about an all black look (another look from the beginning of the year here) when you’re walking around the streets of Manhattan. I work in Midtown, so there are a lot of companies with offices in Midtown that don’t have anything to do with the fashion industry. So when I walk around in culottes, caged sandals and a very flashy belt, you could imagine the looks I get from some people.

Oops. Sorry not sorry.

I’ve worn culottes on the blog before (here and here), and I really hope this silhouette is here to stay. I love how sometimes you can’t tell if a person is wearing culottes or a skirt. I love how they’re a bit more fashion forward than other pants. And I definitely love that I can wear my favorite belt with this pair.

WHAT I’M WEARING:
tank
pants
choker
belt
sandals (similar)
sunglasses
bag
