Helping women love what they wear on a budget

6 Ways to Wear Cropped Flare Jeans

6 Ways to Wear Cropped Flare Jeans
If you follow along with me on Instagram, I’m sure you have seen me sharing all my end-of-summer clearance finds.  I love shopping at the end of summer, the only problem is that it makes me mad when I see things I’ve already bought go down in price.  I hate missing out on a deal, but that’s okay because sometimes I catch the deals.  For example, early in the spring, I tried on these light-washed cropped flare jeans at Old Navy.  I thought they were super cute, but they were full price so I passed on them. A couple of weeks ago while at Old Navy to scope out my fall wishlist, I found the jeans again.  This time the price tag said $11.21!  I decided to buy them, because not only are they super cute for spring and summer, but I also feel like they could be worn into the early fall.

I always prefer jeans over shorts, so I often miss wearing them in the summer.  I always think it’s nice when you can find a pair of summer jeans that you can wear when it’s still warm out.  Today I have 6 summer/ early fall outfits that you could wear this August and September.This post contains affiliate links.

    […] With that said, now that I am wearing flare jeans in my late 30’s I want to style them in an adult way. I am no longer going to wear them with a little beaded tank top or a top that could pass as a skirt, the way I did in college. I want my flare jeans to look polished and modern. Here are some ideas on how to wear flare jeans in 2022! You can also see how I have styled cropped flare jeans HERE! […]

Does anyone else still have a gingham button-down shirt still hanging in their closet? 👕 I still love this style! The easiest way to update this look is to switch out your jeans for a different silhouette.

Happy Mother’s Day!! 💕 Today I am truly embracing this day and remembering how much I always wanted to be a mom! 

I recently came across a journal entry I wrote 10 years ago on Mother’s Day—right after my second miscarriage. I wrote that I was ready to be a mom, but I was so scared and worried about our future. I didn’t know when and if it would actually happen. 

One month later, I was pregnant with my son.

And now here I am, ten years later—tired, busy, deeply grateful, and fully embracing this season I once wanted so so bad! 

To every mom today—in the waiting, in the chaos, or missing the days that flew by—I see you. We are all in this together! 💕

And if you are looking for some mom outfit inspiration then comment OUTFITS and I will send you the shopping links to all my daily outfits from the week!! 🛍️
