Cropped flares, *shakes head*. When this denim variation cropped (yeah, I did that) up on the runway a few seasons ago, not gonna lie, I grimaced. The horrible flared "pedal pushers" made a few cameos in my youth, and I swore I'd never wear them again. They just looked so goofy in retrospect. That being said, somehow the slight change in silhouette- mainly no more skinny knee- and the more retro styling made me a little more open to the idea. The under $25 price point encouraged trying them out too.
As much as I hate to admit it, I'm really digging them. I've already worn them a handful of times, and as long as they're styled with a wedge or heel, I've been surprised by the versatility. Another thing I've noted while styling outfits around them, is that when worn with a retro style top, it all starts to be a little too costume-y. So rather then going retro or boho, I stuck with a pretty classic top in this outfit, and plan to follow that same rule of key in the future.

I hear ya on this one! I was resistant, too. And then I tried on those exact same jeans in the darker wash and I loved them! I didn't like the lighter wash as much but then I had rewards cash to use and got the lighter ones as well. They are super cute and very comfortable, too! They look great on you!

I gotta say, I'm in the same boat you were!! I'm warming up to the idea, but I probably wouldn't try it for myself.

Those shoes are so cute!
ReplyDeleteI love all the different hues of blue that you pull out with this look. I always find it entertaining when I end up loving a trend I used to hate. Perfect example was maxi dresses. I hated them at first and now I love them. Go figure.
