Flare Fun

My favorite type of jean style is skinny. I think they are so versatile and they usually work well for shorter women. Considering I am under the average height for a woman in the US, it seems I’d stay clear of flare leg pants. I am not that sensible, lol.

This is me trying on a pair at Free People. While I love the fit-the length not so much. Of course they don’t offer them in petite. And even with the highest of heels they would still pool around the floor.

A sales associate informed me that she simply cut hers with scissors since the hem is flayed. With my luck they’d end up uneven.

I ordered a pair of hunter green-perfect for the fall. When they arrive I’ll have my seamstress do the honors.

Maybe I can wear them with my fedora 😄. Follow me on Instagram at: _candycloset_ nikki_thenomad and _abeautifulmind_

Cloned

This weekend my beau and I went on a date.  We attended a comedy show and a night club afterward.  I so less than impressed with the way the ladies dressed.  And yes I was looking because I love to see the way people put things together.

But it seemed that almost every woman was striving for the same look:

• Short
• Skin-tight
• Baring all
• Butt and breast cleavage
• Thematic

There was no fashion involved at all.  I want to style myself  different from this phenomenon!  Definitely don’t wanna look like everyone else!  How do you combat this problem?

Weekend Warrior

I went shopping on Sunday and got:

Peach lace scarf from The Limited $26.90.  So feminine and pretty, I just had to have it! It looked gorg next to my milk chocolate shruken leather jacket but can be paired with most anything.

Perfect tee from The Gap $10       Crease T from The Gap $14.50 A wardrobe staple.  I’ll be clutching my pearls in the v neck along with my lace Vita booties.  Impatiently awaiting their arrival…

Belle du Jour cardigan in olive Macy’s $19.99 So cute that I have it on today! I love the wrinkled look and the netted details.  Olive is a nice neutral color that goes well with most shades.

And a cute short sleeved crochet sweater by American Rag from Macy’s $49.99 (could not find pic)

Pink Patch

Betsey Johnson has a new budget-friendly clothing line called Pink Patch.  I love how she had real folks rocking her runway. Plus, she’s making fashion affordable for those of us 9-5er’s.  I heart BJ.
