Bell of The Ball

Jeans: Free People – Top: Marshalls, similar at Free People – Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell –  Jacket: AE

I’ve really been getting back into the bell bottom trend now that it’s getting slightly warm.
It’s just too cold to wear flare jeans in the winter because the freezing air goes up them and hits your legs and it just doesn’t work. Cold ankles are one of my least favorite things.

I got these jeans over two years ago at Nordstrom Rack for only $20. What a steal!
They are, like, two or three sizes too big and I had to cut eight inches off the bottom, but I really don’t care. Big clothes are more comfortable. I always lean towards oversized as opposed to tight, as I’m sure you’ve noticed. I often look like I’m being swallowed whole by my clothes…and I’m fine with it.

Needless to say, I am very excited for spring to come and to be able to wear fun clothes again. I love layering as much as the next person, but when it’s too cold for tights, I have issues. It’s hard to layer when leggings are the closest you can get to an undergarment.
One thing I’m really looking forward to wearing again is my trusty pleather jacket, which instantly makes every outfit better, cooler, faster, stronger. And I’m sure I’ll be back to wearing exclusively white dresses and oversized cut-off shorts soon enough!

I hope you all had a wonderful week!
