How to wear your flare…

September 21, 2015

After so many seasons of slinking into skinnies, denim is doing a 180 with the flared leg. Huge for spring and still making a mark this fall, the flare leg is super flattering and versatile.  As women, we are thicker in our thighs than we are from the knee down (try as you may, I fear this is just a function of our female anatomy:), hence flaring the leg out from the knee down balances out the silhouette and makes gams look longer and leaner! Some of my favorites are J Brand’s Lovestory $238, Free People’s Hi Rise 5 Pocket Flare $78 and McGuire’s Harlow Flare Stitch Pocket $227.
Now while the 70’s are a huge trend for fall, you want to be careful to keep the rest of the look modern to avoid looking too costume-y. Try pairing your flares with a white blouse. A tie-front neck with lend itself to the 70’s trend, while a classic white blouse will make the look appear more tailored. I also love these jeans with a plain, semi sheer tank top and a ton of layered necklaces (click here for hints on layering). When the temperate drops, simply throw on fitted jacket /blazer and you’re set!

    White Haute Shirts

We’ve been spending a lot time at our home in La We’ve been spending a lot time at our home in Lake Havasu lately for a change of scenery- I guess that’s one of the silver linings of virtual school. Whenever we are there, I challenge myself to a play game I like to call “Find cute clothes at @walmart ”- Perfect for #FrugalFridays!
I have to say if you are willing to search, you can actually find some cute pieces like this tie-dye T-shirt I scored for $9.98! I’ve always been a big proponent of mixing high and low so I’ll pair a T-shirt like this with some of my good jeans and bold accessories to balance to look. My favorite budget tie-dye pieces linked in bio.
Being a stylist I spend a ton of time in malls and Being a stylist I spend a ton of time in malls and stores and picked up this little nugget of wisdom along the way... @freepeople is one of my go to’s and as luck would have it, @macys online and some brick and mortars sell Free People and it is almost always on sale. I bought the henley in this picture for $21 at Macy’s while it was selling for $68 at Free People. Sidebar here for a moment, I love a good henley as an alternative to a plain old T-shirt! So my big take away is if you find something you love at Free People (and who wouldn’t) check out Macy’s before you buy! Check out my stories for some of my top pics for pieces currently on sale! @liketoknow.it #liketkit http://liketk.it/35R0Y
If you know me, you know that I love both puppies If you know me, you know that I love both puppies and hats 👒🐶 and while we could all use more puppies these days, today-  let’s talk about hats. It is the easiest way to turn an  outfit from drab to fab in addition to hiding roots, grease and grays or as I like to call it Covid hair.
I can’t tell you the amount of times I have had friends or clients say, oh I could never pull off a hat like you do. WRONG! Hats are definitely all about attitude so when you put one on you have to own it. If you think you can rock it, trust me you can. And if this past year has taught me anything,  at the end of the day, do you really care what anyone thinks about you?!
