My lurve for burgundy

Back to school sales are making me look forward to Fall fashion already! This year, I continue to be obsessed with the burgundy hues (especially after seeing this guy in an all-burgundy monochromatic suit on TSBmen). I'm already playing with those colors now.

Flowy pants

Continuing my pants phase...I've been seeing lots of interesting pant styles at my favorite Forever 21 store lately. I'm not sure if "culottes" are considered pants, but I decided to try one out for fun.

It's kind of vintage, romantic and weird...I like it!

At first I was hesitant on the length...the dreaded "midi" length (which usually makes me feel stumpy and frumpy), but somehow fashion overcame the rules here. 

I've always been attracted to palazzo pants, but most on the market are so long in length that I don't even care to try them on. I'm thinking maybe culottes (especially with high waist and A-line shape) are a better alternative for petites than palazzo pants for that wonderful breezy flowy effect!
