It’s officially CHRISTMAS!!! That means everyone is busy wrapping presents, making feasts, and gathering with friends and family all over the place. I just love this time of year because everything kind of slows down…. I know it gets busy in terms of social and personal stuff, but really everything else just eases off, and people are concentrating on what matters in life, and that is the people they love :)

Anyhow, we wanted to squeeze in one more post before the festive season begins! This outfit, Im really excited about… as always, we try very hard to remain in the Two Threaded Poppies theme which is elegant, chic, and feminine, but also wanted to try something a little more unique and daring. Yup, I decided to wear culottes. WHAT ARE THOSE? I hear you asking? Well, its basically wide leg pants, cropped. VERY wide haha :) I have to admit I avoided this trend for a very long time because 1) I’m only 5’5″ 2) I’m not the slimmest or leggiest girl out there and 3) I always thought how people paired them was super ugly/busy/unflattering. However, after walking through the racks of Topshop while they were having a 30% off sale, I saw THESE – peach satin culottes, and for some weird reason I had to have them. I knew that if I paired it right, these pants could look really special.
So, in comes my visit to Yacht21 – a boutique clothing brand in Singapore. Jillian and I are big believers in smaller local brands (yes, we do love the major labels too, but when you find something unique and local to a particular place, and its beautiful, and very good quality, I say SUPPORT! :D ) so when we met up with the team to check out their line, I really loved their clean cuts, fresh colours (they brand themselves as resort wear, but honestly, the colours white, blue, pastels and so on are SO versatile you can wear them anywhere), and high quality fabrics which are hand picked by their team before production. Anyhow, I have paired a simple (but delicately detailed) white top from Yacht21 with the culottes. Because the pants are so busy (in the sense that the cut is bold), I wanted something very simple and clean on top – hence the white top from Yacht21. This white top can be worn with so many things – jeans, tucked into a midi skirt, with a pair of washed out denim shorts, etc. Needless to say, I walked away with a bit more than one piece from yacht21 and I’m really looking forward to sharing the images of these pieces in the coming weeks.

Anyhow, before I foget, the culottes? If you’re not into white tops, you can also wear this pair of culottes with a fitting black top, or a beautiful black cami. Either way, its a win, and you remain looking chic, elegant and polished! Also, don’t forget to wear a pair of heels! Because I’m not the tallest girl, I’ve decided to wear this outfit with a simple pair of nude pumps (every girls must own a pair of nude pumps! They match just about EVERYTHING under the sun!! :)
Oh and before I end this post, I just wanted to reassure you that all brands we features are carefully curated and chosen by Jillian and myself very selectively. We promise we don’t just simply feature and showcase pieces we don’t believe. They must always adhere to the Two Threaded Poppies standard of beautiful aesthetics (chic, elegant, feminine), quality, and service :)
Enjoy the photos ladies and have a merry christmas!! :D
