It has been a while since I updated. I have been experiencing the biggest and hardest school rollercoaster ever, full of stress, deadlines and grades. It is pretty stressful whether I will or will not graduate this year and my exams are already in five weeks. However, in this easter weekend which is also very busy, I found some time to blog again. Also, as you might have noticed is my new lay-out. It is not totally finished yet, but it will very soon!
Another update.. I GOT INTO AMSTERDAM FASHION INSTITUTE! If I am graduating this year, I will be joining the international fashion and branding class of 2016 at the Amsterdam Fashion Institute, my dream school. I got a score of 85 out of 100 and I am so so happy.
Today I have a new 'how to wear' post. I recently purchased the perfect white culottes with minimalistic dark blue stripes. Culottes is definitely a thing: you either love it or hate it. Well, I love it and decided to give it a try myself. I am not the tallest but wearing culottes with a pair of heels is such a killer combo! So here are a few ways to look on point with your culottes.
1. Wearing neutral colours. With black you can never go wrong, which is also the best formula with colours such as grey, white and black and keeping it as simple as possible. You always match and look very fashionable. Are you scared you look too boring or colourless? Add a simple pattern to your outfit which is definitely an eyecatcher and spices up your outfit.
2. A sweater! Wearing a sweater on your culottes is not only very comfy and casual, but also very chic. Just add a pair of heeled up sandals and you are ready to go. Turtle-necks are must-have! But if you do not feel comfortable wearing a turtle-neck you can always go for fabrics like cashmere and wool.
3. Boots! The high-waisted cullotes and tall boots make your legs look endlessly long. They also keep your legs cosy and make you look sexy without showing too much skin. There are endless combinations with this variant of styling.
4. A crop top. Crop tops are cool and can be worn with any body type (with something high waisted). They are hot without showing too much skin and give the illustion of tall legs. Do we need to say more? Just look at it.
5. This one is risky and daring, but if your name is Susie Lau you will never fail with mixing patterns. If you do it right, you are a fashion queen. If you do it wrong, it does not matter because you have to fall 9 times and stand up 10.
6. And ofcourse you can look fan-tas-tic in culottes with a pair of sneakers! Go for low top sneakers to make your legs look taller and make sure they are not destroyed to match it with the posh look of the culottes. You are comfy and ready to go (run)!
I hope this article was helpful. An outfit with my culottes will be following ofcourse. I will be focussing on my new layout and my resits in mathematics and economics. (Make sure to follow me on instagram to stay updates + I almost reached 10k!)
