MY, does it feel good to have an outfit to share!! This is my first time owning a pair of flares. A good friend and I went shopping and she picked them out for me and insisted I try them on. I was hesitant at first because I never thought I could pull it off, but once I slipped them on, pretty sure I was sold. They give me curves where I don’t have any, which is something I love because lets face it…that doesn’t happen often. I got the inspiration of this outfit from an episode of That 70’s Show, if you haven’t already guessed. I was getting ready to go out to dinner with the husband when I glanced over at the TV and saw the always beautiful Mila Kunis rocking flares and a flannel button-down with her bangs pulled back. And wedges! Seeing as how I have all those things, I decided to try it out for myself and I felt pretty dang hot. Maybe not Mila Kunis hot because she does set the bar very high, but good enough to get checked out by Jimmy and that’s more than sufficient for me

button-down from Target, flares from F21.

So there has definitely been a lack of outfit posts around these parts for two reasons. One: My beloved tripod is still back at my in-laws with the rest of our household goods that are waiting to be sent to our new home. We’ve been in Alaska for two months and our stuff still isn’t here yet, and let me tell you…veeery frustrating. Anyway, I usually prefer to use the tripod and handle taking outfit photos that way, but I gotta admit, having Jimmy take photos for me has been pretty fun! I’ll most likely be trying to get him to do it more often, I just have to get him to agree…or bribe him with Oreo truffles…

Secondly, lack of clothes! For the same reason, it’s all back in California. While packing to move here, I only took the clothes I felt I would need and now that we’re settled in and waiting for the rest of our stuff, it definitely seems like I didn’t take much. But it’s allowed me to be creative and for some reason, it’s not really as hard as I thought it would be. I have a new love for mixing outfits, that’s for sure! Maybe if I’m feeling confident enough, I’ll be showing some off…

I apologize for my absence but once I get back into the swing of things I’ll return with some fun stuff to share! Things have been a teensy bit busy in the Hammer household.
