Chunky Sweater + Flare Jeans

No matter what denim styles are on trend, I still always love to rock a pair of flare jeans. I love wearing flares because I can wear them with sky high heels which make my legs appear longer.  If you’re petite like me then you totally understand how fun that feels. I also love the 70s vibe of flare jeans and how they instantly make your outfit seem dressier like you tried a little harder than skinny jeans. Fortunately for all of us who love flares, the bell is back and in full swing. This means we have way more styles and washes to choose from. I personally love a dark wash and a black pair too. I also really love the high waisted styles because a high waist just adds on a few more inches to your legs!

Good Morning readers, I hope you all had nice weekend. If you live in the Louisiana area then I know you had to of enjoyed the gorgeous weather this past weekend.

About the outfit: Over the next couple of weeks, I’m going to show you multiple different ways to wear your flares starting with today’s cozy look. I styled my dark wash flares with a chunky V-neck Sweater from Chicwish (also available in grey here). What I love most about the sweater is the V-neck in front and the crisscross detail in the back. The open neck and back helps the sweater appear less chunky and overwhelming with a pair of wide leg jeans. To jazz up the look, I stacked on plenty of Julie Vos jewelry and a Melanie Auld Tusk necklace. Then I completed the look with a hair calf leopard clutch by Madly Yours.

These photos were taken on the balcony of the penthouse at the International House Hotel  in New Orleans, LA.

Thank you to Chicwish for bringing you this post. All opinions are my own.

Good Morning readers, I hope you all had a great weekend and St. Patrick’s Day. If you live in Louisiana, I know you were enjoying beautiful weather and sunshine all weekend long. Also known as perfect maxi weather!

On that note, how eye catching is this pleated neon yellow maxi from Candy Apple Blog Shop!  Can you believe that its only $44!  Immediately upon seeing it in their office, I knew I had to add it to my wardrobe.  If you’re feeling that same desire for this stunning neon maxi, make sure to stop by their pop-up shop this Wednesday, March 20 from 6-8 pm at the Delta Gamma House on LSU’s Campus or this Saturday, March 23 from 10-1 pm in New Orleans.  More details on the ad below!

To style the dress, I chose bronze metallic accessories and jewelry to contrast with the brightness of the dress and to tone down the neon. I also wore a fun aztec-inspired cuff from Candy Apple Blog Shop for a little added flair.  I think the wooden beaded necklace by Dotted Tusk accented the dress perfectly and lucky for you its currently on sale for only $14!

Outfit Comparison: Neon Maxi (Victoria’s Secret)<– $128, Metallic Braided Belt (Target)

For those of you who don’t do strapless dresses but love this bright neon yellow, this style dress from Victoria’s Secret is a great alternative.  I myself prefer the one from Candy Apple Blog Shop because its less than half of this price and it has slits at the bottom.  However, this dress is still beautiful and gives you another option.   The straps and no slits factor make the dress a little more conservative than the other and may be more age appropriate for some. What are your thoughts?

P.S. Here is a sneak peek of tomorrow’s post with Yael Palma of Madly Yours.  Check back tomorrow to see our collaboration!
