The Kirsty Files: Cropped Flares for Fall

Doesn't it seem like cropped flares were just getting warmed up this summer. Well I think they have major staying power for fall, and as long as the weather stays warm enough to bare a little ankle they will be in my regular rotation. I love them with booties or work boots, and especially with this spin on a hiking boot, with a little bit of wedge in the back, that I have fallen for. Obviously for city life not for nature.

Who cares if I'm going hiking I just really want to look the part. Sort of.

These jeans were actually flares I have had for years, they were called flip-flop length. Which in theory who doesn't love summers quintessential sandal, but in execution it was a very poor showing. They were the perfect candidate to be snipped.

And I love them.

I took the hem up to a subtle point in the back. I am also loving the hi-low hem that I have been seeing. Have an old pair of flares in your closet? Snip them!

So don't think of cropped denim as only a summer pant, this flattering silhouette is perfect for fall's flannels and chunky sweaters.

I also like to add gold jewelry, like these necklaces, to flannel, denim and boots. It's sort of unexpected but I love the femininity and fanciness it adds. I mean just in case you might have wondered if I was going hiking. Hey, I don't have anything against hiking, for everyone else it's fantastic.
