Is it wrong that I really like these flares?



But I have absolutely no idea how I would wear them without looking like I was in Brotherhood of Man. (You know, other than avoiding the matching hat and sweater and not hanging out with three similarly dressed crazies with a penchant for wooden, synchronised dance moves.) Coz I don't think that is really the look I am going for.

Having well and truly whooped the ass of the skinny jean I no longer feel the need to spar with it. So what possible alternative? My attention has wondered to the flare.

Far easier to balance out the generosity of my hips, surely. They would have to be very dark and worn smartly, although not with platform heels as that is just too 70s and J-Lo.



And while I love her (I really do, even her movies, a total sucker for them, I know, I should have kept that quiet, shouldn't I? I have just lost all credibility, haven't I? Shhhh! Maybe no one noticed...) I do find her penchant for a polyester appearing flare ever so slightly disturbing.

But I could rock them, right?
