Marianne: Flares.

I am not fishing for compliments, I swear, but I'm not convinced these jeans are at all flattering. However, what they lack in thigh-slimming virtues, they make up for by being incredibly soft and comfortable, I have to say, the high waisted jean is a wonder. Anyway, I've worn these twice now and both times with a pretty plain top. They feel like a lot of look already and I'm having trouble being more adventurous, what would you wear these flares with?







top: Liquid (similar here)
shoes: Miz Mooz Hazel (this years model here)
necklace: anthropologie Double Torsade (another fun torsade necklace here)

  1. I love these jeans on you, but I want to see them with a more fitted top.

  2. I agree with Adrien. Maybe a fitted button up cotton shirt w/ the sleeve rolled up?

  3. Yeah, I think for balance of the flares at the bottom it needs something more fitted up top. They do look great on you.

  4. i've been wearing mine with cropped tops (the high waist is the only thing that helped me jump on that trend). they look great on you, though! maybe you just have to get used to the new shape (like with jeggings and skinnies) ...

  5. I agree with amblus and lara. the top is hitting you at the wrong spot. It's creating a line across the widest part of your hips. Maybe even a non-straight hemline like this http://tinyurl.com/6l2jpmv

  6. I don't think I'm brave enough (or fit enough) for a crop top, but I'll try out some fitted options this weekend!
