Embracing Flares

Ever since my last fashion blog entry I have been on the hunt for a pair of black flares. Its been a hard hunt! I've seen lots of denim flare jeans and I think you have to be brave to wear denim flares as it is a bold statement to be making. If you are not ready for the denim flare then a black flare is the perfect baby step.

   After looking high and low I finally came across the perfect (only) black flare. I'm not normally one to shop in NEXT but I think this weekends shopping trip may have changed my mind. They have a great PETITE section and most of the trousers come in Long, Regular and Short leg. I would be nervous buying off line though. I'm normally a size 8/10 depending how well the diets been that week but I ended up getting a size 6R. I would of liked a Short leg but these come in Regular or Long leg. This means I have had to take the jeans up like most of my trousers. Maybe I should do a blog post about how to take trousers up yourself as I seem to be doing it a lot! The material is a stretch fabric so perfect for the larger/thicker thigh. If I had brought a suit trouser flare then the material would have been to tight on my thighs and massive round the waist.

  Don't be nervous about embracing the flare, it elongates your leg making them look slimmer. I don't no why you wouldn't want to.

Seventies Suede

Jacket - H&M (similar)|Jeans - River Island| Boots New Look



I've really fallen in love with the Seventies Style this season. I think it can suit all body shape's and can give you curves in all the right places if worn correctly.

I've been a lover of skinny jeans for a few years now but when you are just shy of 5ft 2 with thick thighs, skinny's aren't the most forgiving. When the seventies style hit the catwalk this S/S I couldn't wait to get myself a pair flares. Flare have quickly become my best go to jean and really suit my shape. These River Island kick flares are perfect, they gradually get wider at the knee, creating the illusion of a slimmer leg.

If your going to embrace the seventies feel, its a all or nothing kind of look. So I couldn't wait to team my flares with this gorgeous suede jacket/shirt from H&M. It can be worn as a shirt, jacket, done up or undone, its so versatile and for £29.99 its worth ever penny. The tie around the waist is just in the right place to bring your waist in and create more curves.

This look is great for overcast and rainy days like today.

Have a great Easter holiday guys and keep being confident with fashion.

HAPPY SHOPPING WITH RIVER ISLAND

That 70's Show

If you have been shopping recently you will see its all suede, tassels and flares and I'm all over this style. At London fashion week I embraced the 70's.

Sloppy Joe's

Sloppy Joe's - your wardrobe isn't complete without one, especially in winter. If you have not heard of the word before it means ill or loose fitting jumper or in my word OVERSIZED! This seems to be a running theme in my blog.

 

My Sloppy Joe came from my Nans wardrobe (would you believe it). It's cream, huge roll neck, baggy and warm. Ticking all the right boxes. 

 

 

 

With the jumper being the main attraction everything can be plain and simple. For me adding black jeans, black boots (from my Nans wardrobe) and a gold necklace to ties in with the gold coins on the boots completes the outfit. No fuss, no panic.
