flare flair

 Ana chiffon tank, vintage Jordache denim, random sandals, Donna bucket bag c/o Cut n' Paste

Flares! Flares! Flares! In the words of my sister, "I haven't seen this look on you since junior high!" True enough, but I am totally embracing these super seventies midwash jeans.  Makes it even better that they are a true vintage brand, Jordache! (Which, duh, I just learned how to pronounce...)

You all know I adore my black fringe Lia tote by Cut n' Paste, so I'm sure you can understand my enthusiasm when I received one of their Donna bucket bags in the mail! They are for sale at Free People in black and tan...get your hands on one of these like now! They are all about vintage-inspired, timeless bags that only look better with time. Be sure to check out the Sweetwater crossbody exclusively at Free People, an lovely fringed piece that has officially made its way onto my wish list.

I've had some requests to list my nail color more regularly, sorry I didn't snap a detail shot of this one! It's Lily by Revlon, and the most beautiful summery lilac shade. On that note, get outside and enjoy! I'm off to meet my new baby cousins :)

  12. Cuuuuttteee! I'm rockin' the flairs today too! Feels like I've been living in skinny jeans forever so I'm a little self conscious, but it's nice giving my ankles some breathing room ;)

  13. I love that you're wearing your flares in a casual look! Maybe it's because mine are too long or dark-washed, but I always picture them in a more "dressy casual" way... you're totally inspiring me to try them out in a different style! :)

    P.S. LOVE the red top!
