I got these flared jeans hemmed so I can wear them with flat shoes, and ever since they've been worn a lot more. While I am petite I don't think the combination of flares and flats makes me look any shorter, and it is definitely comfortable! Especially when worn with my Converse, like below.
What I wore:
Scarf: blue tartan scarf
Shirt: Jeanswest 'Melanie' Stripe henley in black/coconutJeans: Jeanswest 'spoylt' flared jeans (similar at Shopbop)
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga truffle brown RH classic day bag
Why I wore it:
It was a little chilly in the morning and we were heading out to the beach for lunch and a walk, so I added the scarf for a little extra warmth, and some colour. I like the print mixing too, it grew on me through the day.Last time I wore this top I was going to work, and worried it was too casual. It was perfect for a morning by the sea though, nice and comfy.
Last worn: tartan scarf, striped henley, flared jeans, Converse, Balenciaga Day bag.
Other ways to wear: tartan scarf and cobalt leather jacket, striped henley and gold jeans, flared jeans and heels, Converse and a maxi skirt, Balenciaga Day bag in the office.

If you are lucky enough to be experiencing consistently warm spring weather (Brisbane is a bit all over the place temperature wise at the moment!) then you might prefer to check out the denim shorts. Maybe I should get some shorts in anticipation for the spring weather that's sure to come soon....
What I wore:
Sunnies: Rayban new Wayfarers
Tee: Atmos&Here 3/4 sleeve stripe tee in berry whiteJeans: Jeanswest 'spoylt' flared jeans (similar at Shopbop)
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga truffle brown RH classic day bag
Why I wore it:
I liked the striped tee and flares combination above, so I wore it again the next day. Gave me an excuse to wear this tee again, it hasn't really been worn very much since I bought it (only 4 times in the past year and a half).I've been noticing how many tops I have and how rarely I wear them, I tend to stick to the same few favourites frequently. Trying to break the habit and pick things I've not worn recently, or not worn for a very long time. No point in having all these clothes if I rarely wear them!
Plus, as we are currently house hunting, the less clothes I have, the less packing I have to do when we finally find the perfect place....I'm trying to make sure everything I have in my wardrobe is a keeper.
Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarers, striped tee, flared jeans (above), Converse, Balenciaga day bag (above).
Other ways to wear: striped tee and skinny jeans, flared jeans and ballet flats, Converse and a shift dress, Balenciaga day bag and a chambray dress.
