More fun than a maxi

I really did not think I was going to jump on the culottes trend, especially after having done them (probably poorly) the last time the trend came around about six years ago, only we were calling them gauchos then. Then I spotted this vintage pair for only $10 and just had the most enjoyable day in them. Perhaps it was simply the comfort afforded by their elastic wasit band and more than ample width - such a refreshing change from sitting all day in my slightly too tight skinny jeans. I suppose I'm just a convert now.

Oh, and this Springbok clutch. I'm seriously smitten with it. When the clutch is laying flat, the fur in the center lays flat as well, only when you fold it does it stand up. Plus is so amazingly soft. I feel like before pointing out that yes, it's real fur, the fact that it's not an endangered species and it's killed for food, in my eyes puts it on the same level as wearing real leather, which I do frequently and without shame. I used the last little bit of my Shopbop credits to get it, and I'm not regretting it.

Hope you all had a good daylight savings time weekend - while I dread the early sunsets - on Sunday, and Sunday alone, there is something kind of nice about looking at a clock which doesn't automatically change and thinking, oh hey, I've got a whole extra hour. As if I'd actually do something worthwhile with it!
