My
boyfriend's parents traveled to Indonesia recently, and all they
brought me was this lousy pair of culottes! I jest, of course. I'm
actually delighted with these pants—with their summery length, unusual
skirt-like overlay, and bold diagonal white stripe, they are unlike
anything else I've ever had in my wardrobe...except my white-trimmed
black vest, which has enjoyed surprising longevity since its first appearance in 2012.
I've thought numerous times of getting rid of it, and every time, I'm
glad that I didn't, because I love it to pieces (figurative,
thankfully!) whenever I wear it! With its white trim angling
gracefully downward, it looked like it was practically made for these
pants!

While you can never go
wrong with black and white, for me, the color combo is an invitation to
wear my most brightly colored accent pieces. Today's color pick was lime
green, in the form of some heeled sandals I got for $3.50 at the thrift
store, a similarly colored beaded bracelet, and a tiny peridot necklace
that originally belonged to my grandmother
What an awesome looking outfit! I would have never guessed the vest didn't come with the pants! Incidentally, I am wearing mostly black and some white outfit today. I have spent this morning unhappy feeling like I am dressed for a funeral and was racking my brain on how I could have made it more summery. You answered my question!
