10th Commandment: September 3

Sep 3, 2010

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!

  1. But they're just so uglyyyyy. :/

    They're jeans, how can they be ugly?

  3. Kristin says:

    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!

  4. D says:

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

  5. Carly says:

    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.

  6. Stephanie says:

    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)!

  7. P says:

    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!

My dark under eye circles have been the bane of my existence since I was 12. Is the cause lack of sleep? Dehydration? Sinus issues? Stress? Who the hell knows. But there they are, every day, telling the world that I am an exhausted working Mom.

Saw It On Social: The Battle of the Spendy Swimsuits

Sloane loves the pool. She jumps from the deck into the water with a crash, never considering her own safety, only to emerge on the surface, shouting “Again!” The pool is my daughter’s happy place. But no place where I need to wear a swimsuit in public is a happy one for me.

The Mondays: July 22, 2024

The Crowdstrike/Microsoft Meltdown forced me to take a few days off this weekend. No laptop. No billable hours.
