I have given some thought to whether or not I should write a post about Flares, and by the end of the day I have finally decided to do so. First, because I'm ill at home and have absolutely no outfit photos to show you. Secondly, because I just love flares so much!
Before Skinnies became quite unavoidable (back when I thought them to be the most uncomfortable jeans to wear, Ever! of course I had not yet tried a pair on...) I was quite a Flares girl! Flares, super sporty sneakers (preferably a pair that added some height to my stature) and an half tucked in tee-shirt was one of my favourite outfits when I was a young teenager. But then Skinnies almost took over my closet, and while growing up a little bit more (you might have noticed that I'm not very tall, 1.64m, that is, 5'38) and putting on some weight too, they stopped fitting me and now there is only one pair remaining, quite used and washed off, back at home in Portugal. Needless to say, I want a new pair!
I am not sure at all how much money I'll be spending on them, I have to admit it's been a while since I last treated myself to a decent pair of jeans, but it all gets down to money and since at the moment I haven't been doing anything to earn some, I might end up just going to the nearest H&M.
'Till then, though, I'll keep dreaming about one of these pairs!

| Levi's - perfect colour and rise! |
 |
| 7 for All Mankind - way out of my budget, but let's face it, they are super elegant! |
 |
| Mango - these aren't very expensive, so they are looking nicer every second! |
I used to love flares as well but ever since I moved onto skinnies and straight leg jeans I haven't looked back. Your post is making me nostalgic for my flares now :) Hope you feel better soon Ana!

i like these!! xxxx
ReplyDeleteLove! I bought ones already!
ReplyDeleteI used to wear that sort of flair trousers with trainers as well while I was a teenager. I'm also very short and not skinny and I was quite reticent to try on skinny jeans when they first appear but now I don't know what I would do without them! I wish that this skinny jeans fashion would never end, but very unlikely. But until then I will keep on enjoying my skinny jeans with ballet flats, love the combination :)
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week Ana!

Mango. Vai pela Mango, a sério, tive uns jeans de lá que me duraram uns 10 anos, e uns levi's que nem 3 duraram.

flares.. those bring back some distant memories from my primary school times maybe :P (or was it high school? who knows!). I remember I had one favourite pair and everyone asked where did I get it from? it sure was an amazing pair of jeans back then.
ReplyDeletebut now I don't like flares very much and I think I don't own any pairs either. there have been many pairs in my fave thrift stores though and I kind of like it when others wear them well ;)
