Adding Some Flare

Headed out to California later this week, and I have to admit, I can barely comprehend the level of excitement my body is experiencing.  For starters, the abundance of sun will be intoxicating.  My skin has been desperately lacking color and it's about time I pull out a few of my favorite spring pieces.  It's unlike me to reserve anything for later, especially when it comes to outfitting.  Case and point, these flared denim.  They arrived over the weekend and knowing my impulsive urges, I quickly threw them on despite the rain. Also, I actually brave slapping on a pair of white denim considering my level of self-conscious tendencies has been on high alert.  I've quite literally let my winter body override any decision-making, and now I'm really paying for it.  Working on this up battle to readjust my lifestyle.  Anyway, I digress.

White denim is a must come spring and summer, and if you're like me — slowly transitioning into a point of return— these might be the ultimate buy.  High-waisted, then flared mid-calf, with just the right amount of elasticity.  Everything about these screams yes, especially the frayed hem.  Paired with a dashing pair of stripes, a cozy knit, and a structured cross-body, this pair of denim are at the top of my pull in the next few weeks.  I'm packing them along with me as I hit the desert but for now, this is how I wear them these days in this not-yet-spring-in-New-York weather.
