Bell Sleeve Style

Big, voluminous sleeves are having a major moment right now. I am talking about the floaty, statement-making variety. Throw on a trendy bell sleeve top and everything becomes a bit more fun—signing a receipt, car dancing, hailing a cab—all of it. I especially love this one from SheIn. It’s got pretty little ties, bold vertical stripes and right now, it’s under $15! It doesn’t get much better.

always in season

For these months that are cool but not cold, and warm but not steamy, I look to transitional pieces. You really can't go wrong with a pair of flared jeans. Yup, the seventies-inspired bell-bottomed variety. You may remember these from a post I did back in March but they are truly season-less. I recommend finding a pair with a high-waisted silhouette because it helps to create that curvy waist, long-legged look that we all love. Oh and what's not to love about this top? I found it on the sale rack at The Loft a few weeks ago and it’s the perfect year-round staple. Great with ripped jeans, a moto jacket, a midi skirt or in my case today, flared pants—this flirty little top is always a great choice. What are some of your always-in-season pieces?

Get Some Flare

Oh skinny jeans! They go with just about everything—from dressy blazers to oversized tees. They’ve been my go-to for years now but I have to say, when I first saw skinnies, I hesitated to slip into a pair. They were just so uncomfortable compared to the baggy 90’s variety I had grown to love. But, times change and so do styles (thankfully).

This season, slimmer-cuts are taking a bit of a back seat because flared jeans are back! Yup, the seventies-inspired bell-bottomed variety. Designers paraded them up and down the spring runways and so it’s time to start incorporating them into your wardrobe. I know, I know, it can be a bit intimidating at first but as long as you wear them with a good set of heels or booties, you’re golden. Oh and I also recommend finding a pair with a high-waisted silhouette. It helps to create that curvy waist, long-legged look—I’ll take that please!

I went for an ultra-casual look today and paired my flared denim with a striped tie-top from Forever 21. But you can find flares in any fabric, to work for any occasion—work, play, day or night! Uh oh skinnies, did you hear that? Sounds like you might be getting replaced!
