Bye Bye Jeans, Hello Culottes

Since the temperatures have been soaring (mid to high forties) I cannot bear the thought of putting on my skinny jeans. This presents quite a conundrum as that's what I wear on most days. Enter culottes! A solid investment, not only to beat the heat, it's an extremely versatile garment. Wear them to work with a pair of pumps and a white shirt, or throw on a motorcycle jacket if you're headed to a social gathering, or pair them with sneakers if you want. The options are plenty making it an absolute must have. I prefer getting them from Indian labels such as Rara Avis by Sonal Verma or Bodice by Ruchika Sachdeva as opposed to high street brands due to the natural textiles most designers use. Fast fashion brands don't always use pure fabrics so the quality is inferior. Plus, I love supporting Indian talent and we have so many amazing designers that are making some stunning clothes.

Moving on, as I had mentioned in my previous post, I am on a mission to recycle my closet and have been trying to use every single white shirt of mine in a new look. Therefore, it was only natural for me to lean towards the one I'm wearing to pair with these lovely green pants. I draped a distressed white motorcycle jacket to give you an idea as to how this look can easily transform by just adding another layer! Knowing me, I almost always have to add a statement accessory which in this case was this lovely necklace which had a lovely suede tassel attached to the oversized pendant. I love to colour block so a pair of purple shoes and a gold bag did the trick for me.
