Fantasy Closet-- Flair on Flare

I'm not big on jeans and tight skinnies but the raw kind in wide-leg flares is my cup of tea. As mentioned a few posts ago, I am looking forward to the 70's inspired fashion of Spring 2011. But why wait when you can wear this now?

 

The elements:

1. Bainbridge Denim Trousers, longtallsally.com
2. Julien MacDonald Cable Sweater, lagarconne.com
3. Mulberry Bayswater, johnlewis.com
4. Fendi Suede and Leather Boots, colette.fr
5. Kate Spade Twirl, sephora.com
6. Asos Leather Boyfriend Belt, asos.com
7. DSquared Antique Effect Necklace, dsquared2.com

Flared Up

The flare is back. Not to scare but to dare!

I am so loving the 70's influence on Spring 2011 and apparently it's not just me. A lot of note-worthy style mavens have popped up in this almost always flattering cut of pants. And it's not even spring yet.

These images are making my day.

I'm thinking of unearthing my flares when I get home tonight. Do you dare to flare?
