work it wednesday: flared up!

One of the trend predictions I have for 2011 is the "modern hippie chic" - or the return of 70's flair. Including flare or bell-bottomed jeans. In modern and updated cuts and finishes of course.

Many of you haven't even jumped on the skinny jean band-wagon yet, so you are scratching your head saying, 'another jean trend?' and some of you love your skinnies so much you won't stray from them. But there is always room for a new trend... it's up to you if you want to jump on it or not.

I still love my skinnies (of course!) but I just snagged the vintage flare cut from the Gap on super sale and I love them! They will be making a debut on the blog in real life soon... but until then in true Work it Wednesday style, here's how to style up this new free-spirited trend!

Oh vintage patch pocket details... how I adore you!

(jeans, purse, top, shoes, earrings, blazer)

I love this pair styled up with a super cozy sweater... mmmmm.

(jeans, sunglasses, top, ring, shoes, sweater, clutch)

This outfit has a decidedly spring feel, I love it!

(clutch, jeans, top, shoes, bracelets, scarf)

So will you take the flare plunge??
