SHOP THIS POST: 
(Today I couldn’t find anything exactly so all items are similar options.)

Two other beauties were rocking their flares last week, so I decided to stick with the theme and feature them. 

Here’s Amy Ann of Straight A Style …
And here’s Anett of Tall Girl’s Fashion …





Don’t they both look long, lean, and stunning in flared denim?!!

Fellow bloggers, time to link up and link back. Also if you could try to visit at least two other links that would be awesome! I’m going to try to get by to visit everyone as usual, but if I don’t quite make it, I hope you’ll give this tired teacher a “hall pass” this week.

All other readers, please check out all these fabulous ladies and the outfits they’re sharing with us this week!

OXOX

    Oh, I love flared jeans too! Don't they create such a flattering silhouette? Perfect with your long cardigan.
    Schoolbreaks in Germany depend on the state you are living, in Bavaria summer holidays only started 2 weeks ago and will last until mid September. My children are already at university and we are still enjoying time together!

    You don't need to tell ME about needing catch-up time, dearest Dawn…I haven't found the opportunity to visit virtually ANY of my blogging friends for weeks now!! 🙁 I'm so sorry to hear that your summer holiday is already over – it always flew by when we were kids, too, didn't it? – but I'm giving you an A++ for this "groovy" back-to-school combination of flares (love the extra-wide hem!) and fringe!! And those platform clogs are the best finishing touch ever!! XOXO

    Oh man, it's been so long since I've worn flares! They were my go to jeans in high school. Unfortunately, I was too tall and never could find the right length so it always looked like I was getting ready for a flood! I think it's kind of scarred me and I haven't tried on a pair since…haha. But they look great on you and are definitely on trend now!
