I’m obsessed with my:

Free-People Flared Jeans

You’re probably reading this heading like “uh, this isn’t the 60’s and we aren’t at Woodstock“… But, believe me… that was my first thought too. Whenever Macy’s has good weekend sales, I exhaust the racks looking for affordable Free-People finds because otherwise they will literally cost an arm & leg.

{100$ for jeans? No thanks. Oh, a white blouse I can get at Forever21 for 1/5 of the price? I’ll pass.}

As my mature self has gotten older though, I’ve began to realize its not necessarily about quantity, but about quality. Two years ago if given $100 I would’ve marched right over to F21 and bought at least 10 cheap things to last me the season. Now, I’ll take that 100 to Macy’s and invest in 2-3 things of good quality that will last me 4-5 years.

BACK TO THE FLARED JEANS!

(& yeah, you’re welcome the link to buy them is above) 

These flared jeans. Yes, I said it — FLARED. Mid-rise, tight to the leg.. every aspiring Hippie’s dream. I tried them on, and it was instant bliss. So, I bought them (for under $30) and I ran with them, just hoping that my mom wouldn’t hate me for spending her hard earned money on jeans I’ll wear once.

Flashforward to Easter Sunday when I have nothing cute to wear. I’m too pale for the spring dress, and my pedicure was horrendous for my favorite wedges. Just like that my flared-jeans saved the day, and are now my favorite pair of pants. Turns out they go with anything, and everything you want them too. Stand in front of your mirror, try these bad-boys on, and become just as obsessed as I am.

Be fun, be hopeful, be determined (to kill the flared jeans game) be free-spirited and open to new things, but most importantly; beYOU
