see I wear colour...

See I can totally wear colour... I told you I could. But in small doses and with loads of black to ease me into it. Also these trousers are the most comfortable things I own! It's like wearing pyjamas except they're not covered in little pink piggys or teddies. Probably ridiculously unflattering on me considering they are pleated and tapered. But I stuck on heels and a pretty necklace to make that all better. I hope...

The weather has suddenly become bleak again... oh well back to work so. Even though the weather has changed I decided not to hide my legs, I live in hope. This outfit was kinda thrown together with not much thought process put into it (which is very unlike me). I wanted to be comfortable but not terribly lazy looking... I suppose that could be called a thought process.

I'd say low-top converse would be much cooler with this outfit but I haven't bought any yet. I want either an orange pair or a green pair... or a blue pair. This cardigan I rarely wore until recently. I used to have it open all the time and it just looked wrong. Then one day I was freezing so I buttoned up and it worked so much better. So now I use it as a crop top.

The real wonder of this outfit is this beautiful burnt orange hairband which I bought from Bonzie at Style @ Set over the weekend (full post on that soon). I absolutely love it! My second day in a row to wear it. I love hairbands but I find some of them can be terribly awkward to wear. This is the exact opposite, not only is it divine but it is so comfy on my head, I barely notice it.

The Year of the Flare...

So I'm getting a bit bored of the auld skinny jeans... I'm just not interested in them anymore. I still love my leggings though.

My interest in flares has erupted once more. My first proper pair of jeans were these light coloured, blue flares when I was twelve. I lived in them til the ripped. I felt so cool in them. I loved them... But then I started wearing wide leg jeans, the boot-cut and finally skinny. But now it has come full circle. I think I had it right all along

I have two pairs (I've had them over a year) and I rarely wore them, even though I love the shape. But after seeing them on a few bloggers I'm feeling inspired and I cannot wait to start living and loving in my flares again.

Awear

I wanna get a nice dark blue pair (I already have a medium and a light blue pair). I feel I could wear these at night as well. I thought they would be very nice with a mauve/cream chiffon fitted top and some tan platforms.

I have my eye on this pair from Awear. They look sleek, sexy, fun yet comfortable. I want! Only 30 spoons, bargain!

Am I alone in my flare love?
