10th Commandment: September 3

After years of skinny jean domination, the flare leg is back in a big way.  Move over matchsticks and straight legs, my ankles are about to breathe free again.  Pear shaped women, rejoice!

But they're just so uglyyyyy. :/

[Belle]

They're jeans, how can they be ugly?

As a short-legged person with no hips and a flat ass, I find straight leg or skinny jeans much more flattering....but I may dig out that old pair of flares I have lurking in my closet, just for curiosity's sake. But what kind of top goes best with flares? You should do a post on that!

Thank god for flare legs! My short legs and hips do not look good in skinnies.

Can you please do a post on fall boots? I am so anxious to get some new boots but I am overwhelmed by all the options and styles out there.

I love a great pair of bootcut jeans, but I just can't get behind flares. Too reminiscent of middle school and high school for me (especially in that last pic, where they're paired with white sneakers)!

oh nooo this is awful news!

how do you work flare jeans with boots? jeans over the boot? squished into them? im really curious to know!
