The weather continues to amaze, and hopefully adding a healthy, warming glow to my lower arms.
I'm wearing my most summery culottes in celebration of the sun; I feel mellow yellow is an excellent spring and summer colour! I'm also wearing them to avoid the dreaded 'chub-rub' as my housemate has deemed it. Its when your thighs rub together painfully, especially in the summer and it's just hideous and painful and if you've never experienced this discomfort
at the mercy of your own thighs, you are very lucky. Culottes eliminate this by providing a soothing barrier of fabric between them. One less worry (as well as the sweating, sun protection, feet swelling) for summer to deliver. Co-ordination wise, I've picked out colors from my culottes to match with other items. My black trainers and white shirt detail match some squiggles, the blue matches my top, and the tan matches my belt. The key to combining patterns is colour matching!! Pick out and co-ordinate colours within each print and you can look as crazy as you want, without looking too cluttered!
