STYLE GURU STYLE: Denim Flares

February 12th, 2015 at 2:00am

Valentino has always been one of my favorite designers, and I was literally drooling over the recent runway show displaying the pre-fall 2015 collection. The vibrant colors, the intricate patterns and the unique designs had me wishing I could have every item sent to me in my size! I mean, how could I not?

The special thing about fashion is that it is always evolving; new and different trends come out every season. I am always looking for new items to add to my wardrobe or creative ways to put an outfit together. Sometimes, we are even treated with the surprise of a trend from years ago, allowing us to finally dig that item out of our closets to wear again. That is part of the reason why this collection caught my eye so quickly—everything is just so different than what I typically wear!

The Valentino collection paired a lot of really unique flare jeans with awesome tops. Since I love trying new things and am tired of wearing skinny jeans, I had to give these jeans a try. The jeans were the focus of my outfit. Pants like these give an outfit that extra touch of sass, something I could not resist. Next, I had to find a piece that was casual enough to still wear during the day but also nice enough to not tone down the jeans. I figured my favorite fur vest was the perfect choice. Its variation of colors makes it unique yet still easy to match. My knit gray long sleeve was the winner, tying the whole outfit together.

Get My Look: 1. A fur vest. 2. A knit gray shirt. 3. J Brand flare jeans.
