hey friends good to see you again i'm


0:11

glad you tuned in today to the right


0:12

side of 50 i'm sharla and we are going


0:15

to talk flair jeans today okay


0:18

there's so much going on in denim right


0:20

now all so many amazing things for


0:22

spring and summer


0:24

some are into straight lakes some are


0:26

still living in their skinnies and today


0:28

i'm going to talk about the flare jeans


0:29

which are my favorite especially being a


0:31

tall girl okay so here's where we're


0:33

going to start we're going to start with


0:34

these great little


0:37

flares from


0:38

citizens of humanity they're called the


0:40

emanuella okay it's here one thing i


0:43

want to talk about too is that the rise


0:45

on this i would say this is a mid-rise


0:47

so those of you that are kind of


0:48

hesitant going into the high rise or


0:51

you're missing the stretch you have your


0:53

skinny jeans this is the perfect gene to


0:55

kind of dip your toe into that flare


0:58

okay because she is more of a mid-rise


1:00

and the fabrication on this very soft


1:02

these are really soft jeans and they got


1:04

a little bit of give a little bit of


1:06

stretch to it that you're used to seeing


1:07

in your skinny jeans or used to feeling


1:09

in your skinny jeans so again this is a


1:11

great way to step into these flares um


1:13

now i'm five nine so this is the perfect


1:15

little length for me you're gonna find


1:17

we'll go over this today when we're


1:18

together but


1:19

you're gonna find that with all flares


1:22

they come in different lengths too so


1:24

this is more of a little like a shorter


1:26

one i would say on me


1:28

um but i i love it because i paired it


1:30

with these fun little sandals that strap


1:32

up my ankle


1:33

again very boho very fun um otherwise


1:38

you're gonna see in the other ones too


1:39

that they can run a little bit longer so


1:41

if you want more of a platform


1:43

or if you want to drag on the ground a


1:44

little bit which is always kind of my


1:46

favorite that feels very boho um anyway


1:48

so these are a great way to start with


1:50

these little citizens of humanity okay


1:52

how am i styling i'm styling with this


1:54

fun little blouse from paige okay we


1:57

love paige they've got some really great


1:59

fun things this again very boho vibe


2:01

very like 70s i would say so you can


2:04

wear it um open if you want to or sorry


2:07

just untucked if you want to


2:09

i personally like either a little front


2:12

tuck to keep it real casual or if you


2:15

want to kind of accentuate your waist a


2:16

little bit and give you some shape


2:18

especially if you're kind of like a


2:20

rectangular body shape


2:22

test just doing a full tuck with a


2:25

little blouse that you have just


2:26

something like this really accentuates


2:28

your waist and gives you kind of that


2:30

hourglass figure look okay little


2:33

detailing on this blouse that i love


2:35

look at these fun little tassels they


2:37

have a little bit of a silver beading on


2:39

here too these cream tassels and it


2:41

laces right up the front um i just leave


2:43

them um


2:44

hanging down just like this and again


2:46

it's got a little bit of a gathering


2:47

here look how cute that is even if i


2:49

mean this would be so cute too if you


2:50

want to wear your hair up or wear your


2:52

hair back so you can really see the


2:54

detailing right here at the edge


2:56

a little binding around you know how i


2:58

like i like to do this there's a little


3:00

bit of binding right here around the


3:01

wrist but i pull that up just a little


3:03

bit again just to add a little bit of


3:05

shape a little bit of movement um and


3:08

you're ready to go out the door this is


3:09

a great like grab some coffee with some


3:11

girlfriends in the morning and then if


3:13

you're like hey i'm gonna grab some


3:14

coffee have a little pastry and then i


3:16

got other errands to run you are set for


3:18

the day in this little number i just


3:20

kept it real simple um with these little


3:22

fun little beaded bracelets i stacked


3:24

them together because there's a lot


3:26

going on in the blouse i didn't want to


3:27

distract from it so again keeping this


3:30

keeping the blouse the focus and then


3:32

just some simple hoop earrings um to top


3:34

it all off this time i'm wearing these


3:36

great white pair of denim um from a g


3:39

they're called the alexis boot cut okay


3:42

um love a flare that has distressing on


3:45

the bottom because i actually really


3:47

like to wear it where it just skims the


3:49

ground that's my favorite um and then


3:52

just wear a fun little uh flat sandal


3:54

with it these are actually a little


3:55

raffia pair um from dolce vita which i


3:57

love in dolce vita um anyway one thing i


4:00

do love about these is they are a higher


4:02

rise okay so they keep everything in


4:04

here they're very slimming on the leg


4:06

here and that's one thing too i love


4:08

about a flare is it slims your thigh


4:10

here because the weight of the denim is


4:12

the kick at the bottom of the flare okay


4:15

i paired it with this great little top


4:17

from velvet if that's a new brand to you


4:20

um please check it out because they have


4:22

some of my favorite pieces right now one


4:24

of them that they we're focusing on


4:26

right now is this fun little chambray


4:28

top okay


4:29

she's got i mean the detailing and this


4:31

is amazing so


4:33

i like the volume okay of


4:35

the of the puff here


4:37

they keep it like right on trend with


4:40

these little if you can see there's a


4:41

little bit pleated here the detailing


4:43

here in the seam which i love great


4:45

little seam down the middle basic little


4:48

v-neck now you could wear a necklace


4:50

with this if you wanted to i kind of


4:52

wanted to accentuate these earrings


4:54

these fun little raffia earrings to kind


4:56

of balance out the raffia that i have


4:58

going on in the dolce vita sandal okay


5:00

um and how to style this i actually


5:03

would leave this blouse just as it is


5:06

just kind of like flared a little bit


5:07

here again it keeps things more slimming


5:10

here with that high waist so you've got


5:12

a little bit of a kick here and a little


5:13

bit of a kick at the bottom these are a


5:15

favorite of mine okay these are from


5:17

seven for all mankind these are the


5:19

dojos all right


5:21

such a warm warm wash in this denim it's


5:25

got some fun distressing right here lots


5:27

of fun little accents that keep it


5:28

really on trend and very casual also i


5:31

wanted to note here the hem on this they


5:33

have probably like a three inch hem


5:35

which again makes it very 70s i remember


5:37

those denim from the 70s were always


5:39

finished and clean on the end which i


5:41

loved okay now


5:42

these these are a high rise okay you


5:45

know i like a high rise they keep


5:46

everything in this is the highest rise


5:48

um of all the ones that i've shared with


5:50

you today okay and again they're very


5:52

slimming on the thigh but again have


5:54

that great flare at the bottom


5:57

now with these high-rise jeans it opens


5:59

up the opportunities to wear some more


6:02

of the crop tops or the crop sweatshirts


6:04

sweaters that we have available okay


6:06

this is a fun little one that i found


6:08

from from sundry it's this warm little


6:12

marigold color fun little distressing


6:14

right here along the collar


6:16

it really gives you kind of that um


6:18

again going back to that boho vibe real


6:20

casual it has a great dolman sleeve on


6:24

here all right so kind of a slouchy real


6:26

casual this is something i would like


6:28
