36. Flared Jeans

Jacket: Mine via TJ Maxx $30, Top: Gap $8, Jeans: AEO $40

Scarf: Gap $1 + gift card, Clutch: H&M $12, Shoes: Aldo $18

Project 100

I remember in middle school when "bell bottoms" became huge again, literally, they were massive. I had a pair of silver jeans that were probably 12 inches wide. Now that would actually be called a wide-legged pant. So a Flared jean is usually around 8 inches wide at the bottom. I think they have a nice relaxed feel to them but you can still dress them up a little. I especially love wearing mine with heels or wedges. It is important that flared jeans are hemmed properly because they are a wider leg, if they aren't hemmed for the right shoes they lay rather sloppy. I have warn these with flats and they just don't look as good. Also the in order for them to be flares and not wide-legged the flare should start just below the knee. If the flare starts before the knee it's really more of a wide-legged pant and if it starts mid calf you got yourself some true bell-bottoms!

I bought this scarf this weekend at Gap and I love it! For some reason I can't kick off my Christmas season without buying something knitted from Gap. Every year I have to get something and then it really feels like Christmas. It's a tradition I rather enjoy! You can find it here.

32. Dangly Earrings

Earrings: Claires $1, Sweater: Gap $30, Pants: Gap $30

Shoes: Aldo $18, Purse: Aldo - gifted, Watch: Aldo $35

Project 100

I actually just had my ears (re)pierced a little under a year ago so my first time wearing Dangly Earrings was in the summer and it felt so weird! I'm still getting used to it. Every time I wear them I think of the old ladies in my church when I was a kid that had seriously stretched out ear lobes and I get a little nervous BUT I do think they are beautiful and so fun! When you wear big, fun earrings like this they become the centrepiece of your outfit so keep the rest of your accessories to a minimum. Also I think that it helps to pull up the hair or else whats the point? No use stretching out your ear lobes if no ones going to see the cause right?

P.S. Have a Happy Halloween everyone! The hubs and I are being Mary Poppins and Bert! What are you being?

22. Cashmere Sweater

Sweater: Gap - $8 + gift card, Necklace: Joe Fresh $7, Purse: Maurices $10

Skirt: Forever 21 $8, Tights: Forever 21 $5.80, Shoes: Aldo $18

Project 100

Confession: this isn't actually cashmere but it has that cashmere look that is absolutely timeless. I'll admit this color might not be current forever but this is the color of the year according to Pantone (and I believe them) and it happens to be a great color for me so I am snatching it up left and right while I can.   I love sweaters like this, they keep you warm but it is light-weight, AKA so flattering. They hug you in all the right places and are so easy to layer. Also did I not get a crazy good deal on this sweater? How I love a good deal!
