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.

I'm all for dress down Sundays but this doesn't always mean staying in your pyjamas all day. Sometimes just sometimes you have to adventure outside for a few hours and the last thing you want to be doing is getting all dress up in a well thought out outfit. You want something easy to put on but still look acceptable. Walking around in your onsie may seem like a good idea at the time but trust me that look needs to stay at home. On days like this bovver boots, jeans and a jumper do it just right for me.

This look is Army inspired and can be very popular with the guys. Adrian is very fond of this look. Girl don't be afraid to dress down like the guys do. Be confident with what your wearing.

In other news I've just invested in a new Nikon Camera so in a few blogs time my picture will be better quality, I'm just still learning how to use it.

 

 

 

 

Style Is What You Pick..

Christmas is over and we are sat snuggled up on the sofa, watching films and in food comas. What a wonderful Christmas its been spent with family and friends. My Christmas stocking was well and truly filled to the tops with goodies.

During the Christmas period I love dressing up and looking smart and this year was no exception. Christmas Eve was spent it with one half of my family 'The Painters'.

 

 

 

Keeping the outfit casual but smart I wore a white shirt with a slogan jumper from ASOS

I love this look. Its so simple but as its Christmas I needed to add a bit of sparkle so what better way? A huge diamante spider broche.

Christmas Day

 

Adrian and I woke up early and could easily of been more excited then any 5 year olds. Stockings from Santa were opened first and then our stocking to each other followed by the rest of our presents to each other. I must say Adrian really did out do himself this year. A few pieces are going to be worth blogging about. One stocking filler was a Selfie Stick (what I've always wanted) it came in handy through out the day.

 

 

Both Adrian and I share the same love of wearing thought out outfits, can't have one of us looking 100% fabulous and the other well.. 10%  If I get clothes for Christmas I try to wear it on Christmas day. Adrian had brought me a classic style shirt which was perfect to match up with my new neck tie from ASOS.

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with all your wishes coming true.
