Barcelona Fashion Life + Style Outfits

Style / Fuzzy Flare

Style / Fuzzy Flare

Flare jeans: the elusive love of my life. As I understand it, they’re coming back into fashion, but my hometown in Spain remains three years behind the rest of the world, so it’s still incredibly hard to find good pieces. Back in the January sales, however, I was determined to find a pair I loved… and I did. It was twice my budget for jeans, but it was beautiful. It fit perfectly. It looked amazing.

So I checked a few other stores, went home, thought it over, and came back that evening for them so I wouldn’t feel bad about my purchase. In hindsight, this was some A+ decision-making on my part, method included. Go Lix.

(I could do this during sale season because, see, Esprit? Not popular in Spain. The shop? A little ways away from the main chain store cluster. I was concerned, to be sure, but I knew I could risk it. The shop itself however may be gone already, and I am very saddened by this turn of events.)

I wear these jeans on a weekly basis, and they were one of the two pairs I took to Barcelona last month. For my second day there — a long walk around the city, hitting some architectural spots, a museum of modern art and, unbeknownst to me, the Cathedral of Barcelona, as well as a weird art gallery and some bits and pieces from my leisurely photo walk back to the hotel I’ve yet to identify — I paired the flare jeans with a beautiful pair of flats from Yull, thick Pimkie socks that matched my cardigan and helped me pretend I was not breaking in a new pair of flats on a major city walk, a fuzzy cardigan I was sent last year by Blue Vanilla, bless them, and one of my many standardfare long-sleeve cotton t-shirts, this one from Sfera, which, believe it or not, has some real gems if you look hard enough.

(I wouldn’t call anything in my collection of long-sleeve t-shirts a gem; I’m talking about other pieces. But I rely on long-sleeve t-shirts to be comfortable, and I have an identical shirt to this one in a sweet dark blue-green color. Both were on sale, both are comfortable as all get-out, both I wear so often I am wearing this red one again today.)

      Thank you!

    Our Esprit here shut down recently! I’d never been into it, but I remembered it as a store we had in Canada.

    I’m not a huge fan of flared jeans myself, but you really do rock them. I’m not very good at looking casual but not looking sloppy, but you look like the perfect tourist! Very jealous.

      Oh it is SO warm and comfy. I tried so hard to find something just like it but it seems it was a one-off.

      Thank you! I’ll take a look at your linkups – sorry this took me a while to get back to!

    How am I only seeing this now? I really have been neglecting the blogosphere lately. BUT YES ROCK THOSE FLARE JEANS. Your legs are looking crazy long and I’m loving it. And I’ve learned over time that when you find the perfect pair of jeans that hug all the right curves and fit in all the right ways, it’s worth the investment. Because that rarely happens and you’ll wear them more than enough times to get your money’s worth.

    So wear those jeans guilt-free, girl.

      ha, that makes two of us neglecting… well, I’ve been neglecting my blog period. Trying to get back to it because cash! (No shame.) And yes yes EXACTLY. I mean, they’re not even that expensive – they were 50€ on sale – and I wear them every week. They basically replaced a similar pair from Zara that had completely lost color and shape. And since they were expensive, I’m taking extra good care of them. :)

      Hey, if one day I randomly email you bc I wanna be friends, would that be weird? I just like you TONS.

      • Jen Hsieh

        UM OBVIOUSLY PLZ EMAIL ME. <3
