A few weeks ago I wrote about my love for blue denim jeans and I briefly mentioned my kick flare obsession. Time to dedicate an entire post to the jeans that I can't live without: the kick flare!
Flares were a huge trend in the 70's and they are totally back. As a Dutchie that is in Amsterdam pretty much all the time, I have to say that they are definitely part of the Amsterdam girl starter pack -that pack also includes, a baker boy hat, some clear sunglasses and white Adidas sneakers- There is this pair of rib flare leggings that every girl in Amsterdam owns. Now I love flares too, but the kick flares are where it's at. They are cropped and make me feel more 'me' if that makes any sense.
The pair that I have been living in are the Topshop Dree jeans. I ordered a black pair last week, so I'm still waiting on that package to arrive -living in front of my door to not miss the mail man haha-. I went for length 32, wish I had gone for a 34 since it's freezing outside and my ankles are not made for this weather, but 34 is sold out online and not available in store, so I guess 32 is my only option. I also haven't really seen kick flares at other high street stores. Not that I've been browsing that much but when I occasionally search for them I can never find them. Not even on ASOS which is normally my holy grail store when it comes to every product that I possibly need in my life. -if you have seen kick flares that are not too expensive please help a girl out!-
Back to my current pair of blue Dree jeans, they are the comfiest thing and I love the fit of them. They are not mega high waisted which I like, because my dark blue pair from H&M cut right in my stomach when I sit down. The denim quality is really nice and soft and they don't stretch out too much. I haven't washed them yet, which I know is gross, but I'm a bit afraid of what they will do when I wash them. I have been so careful not dropping any liquids on them so for now I will leave them unwashed. Being as clumsy as I am it's quite an accomplishment that the jeans are still stain-free as I normally drop my food on anything but in my mouth, but hey I'm better at other things, like buying way too many jeans that I can possibly wear in my life. *insert the sassy emoji here*
You all know, you can expect a post about my black Topshop Dree jeans this #blogmas, since it will be the only pair of jeans I am going to put on my legs this December. Maybe then I will give washing these blue Dree jeans a go.
What is your favourite style of jeans?
- I checked the Topshop website, but this particular colour is sold out, so maybe try and check you local Topshop to hunt these babies down? I did link the black ones! -

The Light Blue Denim Love Affair
For many years I was the kind of girl that would always be seen in her skinny black jeans. I just adored my Topshop Jamie's and basically lived in them 24/7. This all changed at the beginning of this year when I slowly started to fall in love with blue denim. And not just any blue denim but loose fitted denim as well. I never thought I would ever say goodbye to skinny jeans, but the time has come that I can say that I'm not a big fan of those tight pants anymore.
It all started with a pair of mom jeans and now all I wear is kick flares, straight jeans and cropped wide denim. I love the flare trend and I own a pair of kick flares form H&M and Topshop that haven't left my sight since I got them. My Florence straight jeans from ASOS have also made quite the appearance on my Instagram, so I think I need to repurchase them in different colours, since I can't live without. They are just so comfy!
The reason why I never opted for any light coloured blue bottoms was that I thought black made my thighs look skinnier. And in ways it does. Black looks really flattering, goes with everything and doesn't draw as much attention to the area as blue denim does. I guess I was tired of my black ensemble and wanted to spice it up. Not that I hate black jeans now, because I have been eyeing up a pair of black Topshop Dree jeans that I 100% have to get.
My style has been changing a lot for the last couple of years and I think I'm finally happy with the ''style'' that I tend to go for. A rocky 70's, 90's vibe with lots of different prints, colours and textures. What's not to love about that? Maybe one day I will go back to my beloved black Jamie jeans, but for now it's time to say goodbye.
