FREE SPIRIT

Up until recently, I could not have imagined a day when going out was no longer about highest heels possible, and yet, this day has arrived. Flats have officially became my footwear of choice! 

I suppose this sudden change of heart is in large due to this Summer's soaring temperatures. Don't know about you guys, but comfort is pretty much my one and only concern in 100-degree weather! Or at least being as comfortable as I can possibly be:) 

Yet, what may have started as a simple nod to practicality, with time turned into a complete and utter commitment to the way flats complete outfits in a very free-spirited, nonchalant kind of way. And sure, I am a little late to the "I LOVE FLATS" party! But I think considering what a huge high-heel addict I truly am, better late than never!:)

70s FLARE

Of all the SS15 trends, I think 70s-inspired looks are my favorite by far! I am literally obsessed with everything about this trend from high-waisted flare jeans and platforms, to round oversized aviators and suede fringe:) 

My favorite way of wearing this trend is to take key 70s-inspired pieces and add a few modern touches and tweaks. Take today's look for example, to make this outfit a bit more modern, I paired my EXPRESS  flare jeans with a cute tie front blouse. Yet instead of going for 70s-inspired accessories, I kept this look clean and polished by adding a black leather bag and strappy heels. Of course, I couldn't resist adding a pair of oversized round sunglasses to the mix, but I honestly feel they enhance this look since the rest of my accessories are so clean and simple. 

What about you guys? How do you feel about the 70s inspired trend? How do you wear it?
