| Love this look, from Stardust and Sequins |
In the Great Decluttering of 2011, out went most of my flares - I mean, they were soooo 2002!
If you need me, I'll be sulking in the corner, or possibly scouring the charity shops for my old trousers...
If all else fails, I shall embark on an anti-fashion protest and wear these....

I call them distress flares...they distress me.
ReplyDeleteHaha!!
DeleteSally, loving the distress flares line! XX
DeleteLOL! I still have mine from several (not sure how many) years back, I would guess 4-5 yrs. All of them J Brand could not bring myself to throw them out so I'm well kitted out already for this trend whoopee!
ReplyDeleteAlthough I do prefer straight leg or skinny on the whole Elle x
Elle hello, I remember your blog, hope you are wellxx
DeleteLike you, mine went to the charity shop last time round.
ReplyDeleteI have visions of a little old lady somewhere in Hertfordshire rocking the Hippy chic look.
Hope you have a lovely week,
Liz x
The little old lady is me.xx
DeleteOh gosh, I hope this is a short lived trend. I just don't think flares are super flattering on anyone.
ReplyDeletei do enjoy the frisson of excitement when I get my heel caught in the flare going downstairs..
DeleteAgree, huge fashion fail, and I like Sallys comment
ReplyDeleteI'm not ready for this, I only just got with the program skinny jeans wise!
ReplyDeletegot rid of mine too, I only just embraced skinny jeans 2 seconds ago!
ReplyDeletear ha. I thought you meant Vic's missing arm on the first photo. Looove flares. Shameful yes I know.
ReplyDeleteGood spot re arm, sort of detail i love!
DeleteMine all flare at the waist!
ReplyDeleteI still have flairs - sort of bootcut things. I never thought I'd be in a skinny jean again, but I'm never out of them these days. The moral of this tale is - keep all your clothes FOR EVER!
ReplyDeleteAli x
So true, I am now going to hoard like a crazy lady..
DeleteOh dear, I got it all wrong...I thought what was missing from Victoria's photo was a good feed.
ReplyDeleteThen as I scrolled down I thought...oh, maybe what's missing is a proper hem..all those pants look way too long and scruffy.
I think from this you can safely conclude that I am well beyond middle age, and certainly should never be seen in flares again.
But, I did read that culottes are also on their way back. Culottes!(So long ago that I forgot how to spell it!) I probably still have mine from 1988 somewhere....however I seem to have misplaced my 1988 figure...
Renie xx
Dear Renie - yes culottes, I remember those too! I had a very fetching (?) pale yellow pair which I used to wear with a matching pale yellow top - I must have looked like anaemic buttercup...don't think I can face culottes the second time around...
