I too am an emotional shopper and have tried sticking to a list/ specific colors. &nbsp;But I still fall off the wagon and buy things on impulse. &nbsp;Think of all of the economic activity we emotional women create! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-flared-jeans-that-should-have-been-shoes#post-1668002 Fri, 27 May 2016 05:25:16 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1668002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Style Fan, here are a few more, two Kork Ease styles and one by Fly London. Maybe these brands are available in Canada. I got my Kork Ease last year, and the color was called "red," though it is clearly orange! Dansko has some orange ones out this year, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-flared-jeans-that-should-have-been-shoes#post-1667918 Fri, 27 May 2016 01:25:59 +0000 Jaime 1667918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look great and this thread is full of excellent styling ideas.

I'm glad Mr. SF likes them, too. Jeans are such a staple wardrobe item for you (aren't they?) that I think it's reasonable to have gotten this updated classic. You'll wear them for years. I like the suggestions you've gotten so far for what to wear with them. I would think platform sandals for summer, and I see you've mentioned wedges. I have in mind something like these Kork Ease sandals I have (in Finds). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-flared-jeans-that-should-have-been-shoes#post-1667863 Fri, 27 May 2016 00:20:16 +0000 Style Fan 1667863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much everyone.&nbsp; I have added them to my finds.&nbsp; I like all these suggestions.&nbsp; When I bought them the SA (who has helped me for many years) showed me some tops but I resisted.&nbsp; I do have some restraint.&nbsp; <br />Angie Thank you for the wonderful ideas.&nbsp; I hadn't thought of wearing them with my fringe jacket but that is a great idea.&nbsp; I have tried a leather belt but because the jeans are so high the belts are too loose.&nbsp; I will remedy that.&nbsp; I also have a boxy cropped sweater that I bought in Montreal that I haven't worn.&nbsp; I can see wearing it with these jeans.&nbsp; Wait until it gets cooler.<br />Ummlila I like your flares as well.&nbsp; The heel thing is a bit concerning but I have one pair of sort of comfy wedges and one pair of sort of comfy booties.<br />Suz thanks for the links.&nbsp; I will check them out.&nbsp; <br />BrieN I know all about emotions going crazy when I go to my hometown.&nbsp; On top of that I am staying 2 blocks from my favourite store.&nbsp; Yikes!<br />Aida yes the jeans are a hit!&nbsp; I like your suggestions.&nbsp; <br />Ledonna thank you.&nbsp; I like your ideas.<br />Smittie yes the jeans are a statement on their own.&nbsp; A simple top works too.<br />Angie thanks so much for your help.&nbsp; I love the 70s look.&nbsp; It is my era.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-flared-jeans-that-should-have-been-shoes#post-1667842 Thu, 26 May 2016 23:49:10 +0000 Angie 1667842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And here are your lovely jeans in a Find. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-flared-jeans-that-should-have-been-shoes#post-1667839 Thu, 26 May 2016 23:44:28 +0000 Angie 1667839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's more outfit inspiration if that helps, and my pin board on flares:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.pinterest.com/youlookfab/flares/">https://www.pinterest.com/youlookfab/flares/</a></p> <p>( I LOVE my '70s flared jeans too).&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-flared-jeans-that-should-have-been-shoes#post-1667835 Thu, 26 May 2016 23:36:53 +0000 Anonymous 1667835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them as they are, with statement jewelry of all sorts.<br /> I think a simple fitted t-shirt is the best styling, or else a peasant tunic in off-white. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-flared-jeans-that-should-have-been-shoes#post-1667827 Thu, 26 May 2016 23:20:32 +0000 Ledonna N. 1667827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow you look great. I would do. High lo top or some asymmetrical hem tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-flared-jeans-that-should-have-been-shoes#post-1667804 Thu, 26 May 2016 22:54:17 +0000 Aida 1667804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well at least the jeans look brilliant on you, eh? Angie's got great suggestions as always. If it's cooler, a shorter/semi-cropped sweater with a banded hem works nicely with wide legs. I also like minimally-voluminous high low tops for an artier 70s vibe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-flared-jeans-that-should-have-been-shoes#post-1667751 Thu, 26 May 2016 20:49:54 +0000 BrieN 1667751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There is something about heading home that amps up the emotions and puts them in the drivers seat. Luckily yours have good taste. :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-flared-jeans-that-should-have-been-shoes#post-1667744 Thu, 26 May 2016 20:44:52 +0000 Suz 1667744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh. So much fun. You wear these so incredibly well!!&nbsp;</p> <p>I love Angie's styling suggestions for these. I actually think you can wear just about anything with them.

I haven't worn them out yet -- needs to be a heels kind of outing, based on length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-flared-jeans-that-should-have-been-shoes#post-1667719 Thu, 26 May 2016 19:39:21 +0000 Angie 1667719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun '70s jeans. Love that your sweetie loves them too. They showcase your luscious curves just beatifully. </p> <p>Have you thought of leaving off the self belt and adding a leather one? How about a semi tucked peasant blouse or turtleneck. A boxy cropped top? A silk tee? And your suede jacket and other vintage pieces could be fun too. </p> <p>Also thinking long narrow '70s scarf or neckerchief. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-flared-jeans-that-should-have-been-shoes#post-1667698 Thu, 26 May 2016 18:52:24 +0000 Style Fan 1667698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have mostly been an emotional shopper.&nbsp; The last 2 years I have worked on organizing my wardrobe, planning a colour scheme for my clothing, developing a style statement and making a list when I go shopping.&nbsp; <br />I need shoes that are comfortable.&nbsp; I do not need jeans.&nbsp; I definitely do not need jeans that require me to wear heels.<br />Two weeks ago I visited one of my favourite boutiques in my old home town where I was working and tried on a couple of pairs of wide legged jeans.&nbsp; Just for fun.&nbsp; I bought a pair of 7 For All Mankind Palazzo Jeans.&nbsp; I do not need these.&nbsp; These are for my fantasy life.&nbsp; <br />Mr. SF loves them.<br />They cost too much to add to the insanity.<br />Look #1 prehemming.<br />Look #2 posthemming.</p> <p>Any thoughts on how I should style them beyond a T shirt?&nbsp; Yes there is that too.</p> <p>They are available at Nordstroms but I can't do finds on a tablet. </p> <p>Thanks to Angie I have added them to my finds.&nbsp; :)</p> <p></p>
