These Pied a Terre culottes were on sale from House of Fraser for a measly £20.50 a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, they are now out of stock but I wanted to share them none the less.
They are everything I wanted from a pair of culottes: high-waisted, extreme in shape, come with pockets, and sit nicely beneath my knee.
I really love the extreme pleats that give the leg the appearance of a 1950's full skirt, and the swishing of the fabric as you walk.
They are light weight but made from a heavy enough material to hold their shape. The pleats have stayed nicely in place after several washes - even when I refuse to iron cause who the hell has time for ironing?
The culottes are a size 16 and teeny bit tight on my waist but, the way I'm losing weight, this won't be the case for long.
I've paired the culottes with a camisole in a subtle silver sheen from Marks & Spencer.

Have you embraced culottes yet?
You look bloody fabulous in them! They're really smart. xx
