If you follow me on snapchat (@juliengarman) or know me IRL, you’ll know I wear these pants A LOT. Like, once-a-week a lot. They’re most definitely my husband’s least favorite pants I wear, but they might just be my favorites. Here’s why:

They’re so easy to style
Since buying these a few months ago, I’ve styled them SO MANY different ways. In the Fall, I’ve been wearing them with a casual blazer and tee for happy hour, this silk button-up from Equipment with my M.Gemi pumps for work, and with a simple black cashmere turtleneck and loafers when I’m feeling all french. I was so hesitant to buy these because I thought they might be too crazy to style, but they turned out to be crazy awesome.

They make a statement
Whenever I have a meeting with a brand or potential client, these pants usually follow suit. They exude confidence and I honestly feel like a total BA ever time I slip them on. They’re trendy but classic at the same time.

They’re a great ice breaker
It’s so funny how these pants are such a conversation starter. I mean, how can you NOT comment on these? Whether I’m in the elevator or running into someone in the office, people are actually drawn to them! They’ll start off, “Oh I love your pants,” and I’m all, “haha thanks, they’re my crazy pants.” We laugh, go our separate ways. It’s all about making that connection with someone.

They’re comfortable
Culottes = heaven. They’re wide enough to let a little air in on a humid day (RIP SUMMER) but long enough to keep most of your legs covered. They’re high waisted too, cinching at the smallest part of your waist and allowing for all the flatter.

So there you have it! If that doesn’t convince you to give them a try, I’d recommend using Lyon + Post to try on a pair for yourself! That’s how I found these! It’s free to use, you try 4 pieces at a time and you even get to pick your own pieces. And they price match! You can use my personal invite to get $30 off your first purchase too! ;)

Wearing C/MEO culottes (sold out, but these are next on my list!), Anthropolog ie blouse, old (almost identical), VASKA purse via Estiletta c/o, Sophie Blake necklace, Hanuel bracelets c/o, M.Gemi pumps (velvet version) and Claire Ashley X Makeup Meltdown lipstick in “Siren.”

Being on vacation is like living in a dream. You don't know what day it is - only that you try your hardest to make the most of every moment...to relax hard enough to make it through the next few months, years, until you can break away for a few days of pure, unadulterated rest and relaxation.

Last week, I had the pleasure of visiting the insanely beautiful country of St. Lucia. We spent our days searching for the tastiest eats, exploring the wilderness and doing some hardcore R&R. It was simply incredible.

Over the next few weeks, I'll be sharing about our time in the southern Caribbean island. In the meantime, I'll be responding to the 100+ work emails, helping plan an event at Alice + Olivia next week (more details coming soon!) and trying not to cry myself to sleep at night as I mourn getting back to the everyday grind. ;)

And even though I'm not looking forward to an insanely crazy first day back today, I am SUPER excited about this outfit. I've been smitten with Cameo lately - and my favorite "try before you buy" company, Lyon + Post carries them! I love that their subscription is free and that YOU get to choose the products you get to try in your box. If you want to try it, you can use my referral link and get $30 off your first find. My next box has these pair of Chiara Ferragni flats I can't wait to get my hands on! And the lipstick I'm wearing - might be my favorite of all time.
