0:03 [Music] 0:08 [Applause] 0:09 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 throw on if you are 6:30 maybe running to your kids games or 6:32 something like that even though it's
