Ask CFC- Flared Jeans

If you know me at all, you know that I LOVE reading advice columns.  I read Dear Prudence twice a week, Carolyn Hax daily, and the occasional Dear Abby and Dan Savage.  If I didn't already love my job, I'd say I might be looking to become an advice columnist myself.  I don't think you need to particularly wise- just possessing strong opinions and the conviction that you are always right.  Got it!


Anyways, my friend Krysta gchatted me told me she recently purchased some dark wash, flared jeans and she wanted to know
1) does she hem them to an appropriate length with heels?
2) what to wear with them?


Often a giver of unsolicited advice, I jumped on the chance.  "Always wear heels with flared jeans!!" I demanded.  Especially if you are 5'3 or under like Kry and myself. . . you want that flare to stretch out as looong as possible.  


And I think she should be looking for some blouses and blazers that go with the tailored looks of these jeans.  I told her to search for some pics of Jessica Alba and Kristen Cavallari- who always look great in denim.  Also Lauren Conrad and as always, the Kardashians.

Do you have a question for CFC?  Planning a vacation and want to know what celebs are wearing on the beach this summer?  Looking for a good cry and wondering when the next Nicholas Sparks movie will be in theaters?  Having boy troubles and you couldn't help but think WWCBD?  (What Would Carrie Bradshaw Do, obvi)  Feel free to ask away!

Gentlemen Callers

When I used to go on dates in high school, I was at a complete loss for what to wear. There's only two things more embarrassing than being a teenage girl.

1) Wearing the wrong thing on a date as a teenage girl

2) Asking the teenage guy you're going out with what you should wear

So my mom and I devised a great little system. I would be totally ready to go and wearing a cute top I had picked out. Then my mom would peer out the window when my date arrived. She would yell to me what he was wearing- jeans! shorts! (are there any more options for a 17 year old boy?) And then I would quickly decide what bottoms I needed to wear- Hollister jeans! Forever 21 skirt! (Are there any other options for a 17 year old girl?)

Oh, halter top and American Eagle denim skirt while dancing on the beach? Another good outfit choice from my high school years.

Anyways, I love telling this story because it makes it seem like I had all of these dates in high school and that my mom was all sorts of Mrs. Bennett from Pride and Predjudice/ Amanda Wingfield from The Glass Menagerie asking if I had a "gentleman caller." Neither of these points are true, but I promise I really did get dressed at the last minute thanks my mom's spying.

I was reminded of this the other week when I was getting dressed to go out with my boyfriend. We were planning on going to our favorite mexican/sushi restaraunt so I was wearing a floral tank top and cropped jeans. Similar to this pic of Amanda Seyfriend on the March issue of Glamour.

Except I had already dried my hair and my shirt actually had a back. As I was headed out the door I got a text. We were trying a new place downtown. So I switched out the jeans for my new pink maxi skirt (Old Navy for $12,) snapped a pic, and headed on my way.

It would be convenient if this was the look from the April issue of Glamour, but instead we have this shot of Lauren Conrad.

Lounging topless in her underwear? I guess LC is also waiting to get dressed for a date.
