How awesome are these vintage ads? Truth be told, I’ve always been jealous of people who could pull off the jeans look. They made it all look so effortless, with their easy swaying and sashaying (is that even a word?) as if they’d just stepped off the Paris runway. Sure, I’d been known to rock a mean jean jacket back in the day, but actual, legit jeans are hard to pull off when you’re under four feet tall. Trust me — can you imagine how long they’d be on me?
But! The ’70s bell-bottom look is back (paging Marcia Brady!), only now, it comes with a more sophisticated and chic name — flare jeans! It’s one of the biggest breakout trends of the season, according to Lucky magazine! And just because I love to stand out (pun intended…), I’d definitely choose some bright, eye-popping, packed-with-color flare jeans…
Are you rocking the back-in-style flare look this fall, friends? Do you like the more traditional look or would you go for a more bold statement? It would have been fun to live back in the ’70s and see the birth of this trend, don’t you think? xoxo
P.S. Darling denim, denim on denim and denim shorts! 🙂

I would like to, yes, but something a tad bit shorter, some of those models look like they should be tripping over all that fabric all day.
It's still super hard to find anything but skinnies here though. However, I finally got lucky this week and found some denim chinos in a secondhand shop. Longtime wish finally granted;)
