Country-Fried Flare Flair

I don't live on a farm.
But we can pretend, can't we?
My neighbors have a barn, they used to have horses.
I love barns. I think they are rustic and beautiful, 
especially this one because it's rusty roof & faded wood.

Plus, we used to have awesome barn parties, complete with bonfires and s'mores.
Ahhhh, Memories.
I normally wear this top as a tunic, seen here.
Today, I "fake-tucked" it into my belt to give a lower waistline look.
Cheater, cheater, Reeses peanut butter egg eater.

I was confused when flare jeans came back in to style.
I love my skinnies as much as the next girl
 and I was not interested in jumping on the super flared jeans bandwagon.  
I don't like the extra fabric, weighing down my lower legs :)
My flare is a moderate flare circa 2006ish.
and since I already owned them... I feel like a smart fashionista.

(check out that sexy shirt lump on my arm down there. jealous, aren't ya?)
 If you have not had enough silly rambling to satisfy you for a year, please come back tomorrow.
You could even tell your friends.

  2. I LOVE flare leg jeans. They're actually my absolute favorite to wear. I'm sooo short, so the super flares look muy estupido on me, but I DON'T CARE. I wore a fully sequined dress to work yesterday, and my legs look like highlighters, today. So I really think super flares would not be my biggest offense. ;)

    I LOVE this casual look on you. And I also adore how your outfit really fits into your photo locale, today!

  3. Oh man, barn parties sound like so much fun! And I have to confess, I do love me some flares, but its so hard to get the right kind, these days! I like moderate flares, but they never seem to have them in my height...
