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! -

Tassel Hem Straight Jeans
Lately I have small obsession with different styles of jeans. I was always a Jamie's kinda gal and I still am, but spicing up those skinny black jeans with something else for a change is kind of fun. That's why I went for almost the opposite of those tight skinnies: straight jeans.
Now straight jeans are a bit like Mom jeans in the way that they are a looser, but straight jeans actually look good on me and Mom jeans don't. The waist is way too big and my hips don't fit; aka the struggle of my life. I so wished I was a Mom jeans person.
A thing that most Mom jeans don’t have though is cute tassels at the bottom. I was so excited when I first tried these straight jeans on that I had a lonely dance party in the fitting room just to see the tassels go up and down. It's the little things in life isn't it?
Now that I actually own them the dance parties have gone down a bit, but I still love my jeans to bits. The whole casual but trendy feel is something I really like and I don't see my wide leg/straight pants obsession dying down soon.
I shot this outfit photo when I was in Copenhagen and oh my god how the weather can change in such a short time. Back then I had to wear a red jumper and big faux fur coat to actually not freeze to death and a few days ago I wore my fluffy slippers with these jeans because it was nice and sunny outside. See these jeans, so versatile as well!
Can't wait to pick up another pair of straight jeans and I’m going to give the Mom jeans another go. Maybe this time they will look good?
