Middle of Somewhere

An Albuquerque Fashion & Lifestyle Blog

Return of the Flares

I’ll be honest, when I first bought these jeans from Gap I did not think they would remind me so much of the oh-so-coveted L.E.I. jeans I wore in middle school. Please tell me I am not the only one who couldn’t wait to go to JCPenney to get a new pair and wear them out until they were practically falling apart. The Long & Lean cut from Gap are a great grown up replacement: they have the perfect amount of flare to them, are fitted in all the right places, and have just enough give without having to worry about them stretching out a size or two after you wear them for a few hours. OK, OK… enough about the jeans, can we talk about this view? My husband and I always have so much fun on the weekends trying to find a different place to take pictures that show off our beautiful city and state. I absolutely love this view of the mountains! In my experience, when people think of New Mexico, the first thing they tend to associate it with is a place that is out in the middle of nowhere. Living in Albuquerque for almost my entire life, among all of the natural beauty it has to offer, I have to say I truly live in the middle of somewhere… and this somewhere is like nothing else in the world! I hope you all have a great week and thanks for stopping by! Also, congratulations to Mercy Schwisow for winning the $25 Pink Blush e-gift card!

    Isn't it funny how the skinny jeans trend and that train have sort of made us all forget that flare jeans are REALLY flattering and comfortable?! You look AWESOME.

      thanks Jessica! Thankfully here there is no humidity, and lately our temps have not been too crazy! I would imagine the weather is very different in NC 🙂 thanks for stopping by!
