Think Twice Style: ’70s modern

IMG_6238IMG_6212In a world of skinny jeans, it is a refreshing change at times to go with a different style. Though flares are nowhere near being called new, they can still be made to feel as such. Normally, I would wear a shorter top, or tuck it in at the front, but this time I decided against it. My petite frame can make flare jeans difficult to wear. Lengthy legs I have not, so creating the illusion that my legs are a mile long is a conscious effort.

The key to pulling off flares if you are petite is to simply go for it! Don’t even care if your legs look stumpy, and ignore your inner voice to tuck in your top to balance out your body. Wear the loose top! Untuck your shirt! And relax.

A simple tank and jeans combo is easily dressed up. Slip into a pair of heels for a hint of glamour. Bring out your favorite gold cuff. Play with your jewelry—some can be tough, while others can be dainty. The juxtaposition of styles in one look is what makes the aesthetic your own.
