Terrific balanced look, very fresh. Post- 70s I never stopped wearing flares but did let go of the back pocket comb. Thanks for the fun flash-back! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-dare-to-flare#post-1214907 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 17:35:01 +0000 Peri 1214907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jeans are A+!</p> <p>And now I'm all curious about the swing stripe tunic! Is it this one?&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/clothes-blouses/4112059381510.jsp?cm_sp=Grid-_-4112059381510-_-Regular_51">http://www.anthropologie.com/a.....-411205938</a></p> <p>Cause I recently bought it in dark blue, which is really bright blue, and this would be so funny that we keep looking at the same things! Except I like it and am keeping it, but it is a bit volumizing I agree. I'm going with the "eschew traditional figure flattery" option on this one!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-dare-to-flare#post-1214894 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 17:16:46 +0000 CocoLion 1214894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think both are keepers. &nbsp;Either wear the jeans with higher hems or get them shortened a bit. &nbsp;They flare just right! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-dare-to-flare#post-1214876 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 16:54:55 +0000 catgirl 1214876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies! Just to clarify, the citron striped tee is mine and its old. The last hidden photo is the one I decided to return. And the shoes are my house slippers! Didn't have time to style... Plus the hems won't stay folded! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-dare-to-flare#post-1214841 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 15:59:02 +0000 Style Fan 1214841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the flares.&nbsp; You look great in them.&nbsp; I agree with others that a different shoe would work better.&nbsp; My favourite look is with the blazer but that is how I wear jeans.&nbsp; The wash on the jeans is beautiful.&nbsp; I think flares elongate the leg. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-dare-to-flare#post-1214825 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 15:31:19 +0000 LACeleste 1214825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow AG! &nbsp;You really look great in these! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-dare-to-flare#post-1214821 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 15:18:35 +0000 carter 1214821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the flares! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-dare-to-flare#post-1214818 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 15:15:50 +0000 texstyle 1214818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look great on you - and you look tall and lean, not short in any way. I also really like the new top and think you should keep it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-dare-to-flare#post-1214780 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 14:13:04 +0000 gryffin 1214780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una - that flares are stunning on you.&nbsp; Perfect proportions.&nbsp; I like them with the jacket best, probably because this is the way I prefer to wear my bootcuts.&nbsp; I'm only 5'3" but I have long legs but when you are petite it's a lot of curvy volume.&nbsp; I wear a black tank, black belt and my Gibson riding jacket.&nbsp; You jacket does the same thing -defines waist so makes you into a slim hourglass and the curve out at the shoulder, and hip then really balance the flare!!&nbsp; This is sooooooooooooooooooo elegant on you.&nbsp; Very posh!!&nbsp; I love cowboy boots with the look because I prefer a substantial boot to balance the weight of the denim and they have a pretty pointy toe and texture for interest, but that's just me.&nbsp; I think you look awesome!!&nbsp; The top, I only see the volume in 1, it's cute, but I think you've been trying to pick things that are 10's.&nbsp; I think there is probably one with less volume out there that is just as adorable, but that being said, I liked it!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-dare-to-flare#post-1214722 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 12:09:57 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1214722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the flares look fantastic on you Una. You definitely do NOT look wise (silly woman!). Very flattering. I also love the wash - they read spring to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-dare-to-flare#post-1214721 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 12:05:54 +0000 Beth Ann 1214721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Short and wide?&nbsp; Nope.&nbsp; When flares are right, they make everyone look longer.&nbsp; I love these on you and think they'd be a fun silhouette for your spring/summer.&nbsp; They're perfect for cooler climes, I think, where people can wear long pants on most days and be cool enough.&nbsp; Love the wash. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-dare-to-flare#post-1214700 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 09:53:27 +0000 EveningMood 1214700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, the jeans look like they were made for you. They look flare-y enough to me, like Angie's. The tee is nice but I agree that it is not perfection. You look fab with those cool shades, by the way! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-dare-to-flare#post-1214697 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 09:29:01 +0000 Deborah 1214697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the jeans. You look long and lean and they are a very strong and attractive look. The tee is fine but I'm not crazy about it for you. I see it's going back. I may well have missed an explanation somewhere but could someone definite the difference between bootcuts and flares please:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-dare-to-flare#post-1214687 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 06:37:16 +0000 catgirl 1214687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The striped top is going back - it would be so easy to keep but I feel it is just too tent like and does nothing for me.</p> <p>So far the flares are getting a thumbs up. Are they enough flare to distinguish from boot cuts? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-dare-to-flare#post-1214679 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 05:49:55 +0000 Laurie 1214679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look great on you!&nbsp; Especially so with the jacket, but on their own too.&nbsp; Good score! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-dare-to-flare#post-1214678 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 05:49:11 +0000 rae 1214678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE the flares! They make you look long &amp; lean, actually. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-dare-to-flare#post-1214675 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 04:57:26 +0000 Parsley 1214675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, yes, YES you can and&nbsp;<u>should</u> dare to flare! Those jeans look great on you and you do NOT look too short at all.<br />I'm not as much in love with the striped top, although I certainly think you can wear stripes.&nbsp;<br />Chuckling at the Boston accent! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-dare-to-flare#post-1214674 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 04:35:41 +0000 Catnip 1214674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The flares look great!&nbsp;They are flattering and seem to fit you well, but you need the right shoes .Pointy toed shoes are the ones Angie recommends, but any shoes that are somewhat more refined than the ones you're wearing would&nbsp;probably be OK.&nbsp; Your height is absolutely not an issue.&nbsp;I think the flares&nbsp;are a keep. I love them on you!</p> <p>As for the striped top, here's some tough love.&nbsp; It doesn't make you look pregnant, but it does make you look top heavy.&nbsp; I'm not sure whether it's because it's too long, too wide, or both, but it definitely doesn't look right to me.&nbsp;Sorry, but you are very attractive and can do better.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-dare-to-flare#post-1214653 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 03:33:22 +0000 deb 1214653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The flares are great and we are striped top twins. I hope the top is not too Prego looking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-dare-to-flare#post-1214651 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 03:29:37 +0000 Mo 1214651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Flares look especially great with the jacket. &nbsp; </p>
