Flared Jeans







Jeans: Joe's (SIMILAR) (SIMILAR) (SIMILAR)
Shirt: Vintage
Bag: Zara
Jewelry: Tiffany's, Street Vendor, Pandora, Michele

I was lucky enough to sneak away from work to attend Jazz in the Gardens last weekend. For those of you who don't know, Jazz in the Gardens is an annual jazz festival that's held in Miami Gardens. Since the festival is held outdoors, my outfits are usually all about ventilation and cool breezy fabrics. But this year, I decided to try something new and opted to wear jeans instead.  I paired my 70's inspired, high waisted jeans with a vintage denim shirt to create a bohemian look that I think is perfect for an outdoor music festival. I stacked on the bangles to finish off the look and added a statement neck-piece that peeked out from under my denim shirt.

Though I'm usually all about my skinny jeans, lately these high-waisted, flared jeans have been heavy in my rotation. They're just sooooo much easier to wear. With my skinny jeans, I found myself constantly pulling at my waistband and readjusting when I sat down. With these jeans, I slipped  them on and forgot all about them - no readjusting, no pulling.  Plus, I think these jeans made my stubby little legs look a little less stubby and worked magic on the appearance of my posterior (I spared you the pics lol). Ultimately, I'm not sure if my experience is unique or if I have a fit issue with my skinny jeans. But after finding these flared jeans, I'm seriously reconsidering my allegiance to my skinny's.

Are you guys still in love with skinny jeans or are you feeling the flare?

Love,
Jillian

  3. I will always love flare leg jeans because they elongate and slim. I love the pop of red against your denim look. Very cute.

  17. The best jeans for tucking are skinny jeans made from a stretchy denim. Avoid wide-leg or flared jean http://www.jeanscustom.com/flare-jeans-20.html styles.
