This is my modern interpretation of a 70's look. Don't you just love how flares make your legs look miles long!? I've had these jeans for over six years and would wear them more often if only they were high waisted. I'm on the hunt for a good pair of high waisted, wide leg jeans that cost under $100, so far I've only found this pair by Current/Elliot but that is way more than I want to spend. I've also been searching ebay and etsy with no luck. I need help from the internet gods!
Photos by Cole. Thanks, darling!
Cape: asosVintage plaid blouse: thrifted

Yours,
This is really lovely! I love the whole outfit and it does have a modern 70s feeling!!
i love the 70's vibe. you look beautiful and your hair color is even more amazing each time i see it.
the best part of the whole outfit to me is that fur collar..looks so warm and cozy!!
xoox
This really makes me want to buy a cape, if only I would look as lovely as you do in them!! Loving the red hair missy, looking very foxy indeed! Plus this whole 70's vibe is ace. Good work! Plus great photography, yet again COle! How do you manage to take such good snaps on your busy schedule!? Great shoot! Amy x
Hey Maria,
Check out GAP's Vintage Flare Jeans. They are on sale now and have a light and dark wash. Here's the link: http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=48607&vid=1&pid=768463

You look stunning in those jeans! I love them. I can't believe it's hard to find a pair for less than USD100, that's a lot of money! Here you can find branded ones (made in Argentina) for half that price. Oh, and I guess you could find a pair of Levi's for way less than a 100, too.
Have a great day! :D
Miki.
you look adorable, love your hair up like that!

Love this!! Those jeans are SO awesome.
such a great look! love that cape, and your backdrop looks fabulous as well!
So cute! I love a flare and clog look- it's lovely on you!
Have you seen these from Emerson Made? I want them bad! She also has a more true bell bottom too...

I'm not used to post comments since I'm quite shy but I can't remain silent any longer : I love your red hair, you're so beautiful ! <3
PERFECT!
love the look.
Oh what beautiful Photos! I love that mystical light in the 6th Photo! Your cape is adorable and matchs so well with the Fur scarf. I'm in search of the perfect cape for such a long time. This one is amazing! I will have a look at asos. Thank you! xx, Alice :)
adore!!! have i mentioned how much i love your red hair too!? <3<3<3
I like the clogs, and they do make you look leggy when paired with the jeans.
I am so in love with the red hair! It looks perfect on you and it really adds so much to your outfits! :)
I feel like you and Tieka live in a prettier Michigan than me. I really need to find some cool local places for pictures!
That is true, they do make your legs look a lot longer. Love the shoes!

This second photo of you may just be my all-time favorite. I swear, dear, you just have the most gorgeous face. (:
Wishing you a lovely Monday (since Mondays are obviously the most cheerful day of the week).
Love,
Amber Rose
Red hair suits you so well!
I love that cape. I never thought that I could quite pull it off, but I think I might need to try. This one is just so gorgeous.
love this outfit, I dont think I have really seen you wear jeans that often. These jeans are great.
i think this is my new favorite outfit of yours. i just love it and i think your new red hair definitely adds to it!
Love this look! So fun, makes me want to get my flares out.

The cape is amazing, love it!!

Lovin' the cape!
Maria, you look so lovely with the new hair color - not that you didn't look lovely before! I really like it!
And I also love how you styled those clogs for colder days! Chic :)
Love, Diana
Such a great outfit...your legs look miles long and that cape is amazing!
Haven't told you yet but I'm a HUUUUUUGE fan of your hair !
Said so, I recommand you to have a look at Gap for your jeans, I have high waist (well not the highest but definitely not low waist) jeans from there and there quite flare too... You may find your happiness there !
Thanks for your blog, love it very much !
xx
OOOOOOH terrible spelling mistake SORRYYYYY : "they're quite flare" !!! I'm ashamed !!!
I have that asos cape! I didn't recognise it at first as I thought the fur scarf was attached. Looks fab! NHG x

The red hair looks great on you! I tried red a few years ago, but never thought to attempt matching my eyebrows. Very brave!
The plaid ruffle top is nice!
I totally loved that last photo and your cape! This is a very lovely modern interpretation of 70's! And you're always so sweet!
You look so pretty in these pictures! And those jeans really do make your legs look super-long! Love your shoes, too!
if you're a forever21 kind of girl, they have trendy jeans for cheap. or maybe try buffalo exchange or another consignment store?
These photos are so pigmented and lovely! And it is refreshing to see a blogger in wide legs instead of the skinnies.
Have you tried Gap for jeans? They redid their entire line last year and they are AWESOME.
You're legs are as long as a late breakfast in those jeans!
I love the furry scarf! I've been looking everywhere for one, but none of them are as big as I want. Beautiful photos again Maria and Cole!
Look how stunning you are - especially with that gorgeous red hair. This is seriously a perfect 70's look. I feel like I havent seen flares, let alone worn them in like five years. They look so good on you - and your legs, oh your legs! they are miles long (jealous!) and your cape is perfection. This whole look is just fantastic..I want to come hang out with you and borrow your clothes!! :)
you look gorgeous! i loove this outfit. and your hair looks amazing :)
these photos are beautiful. I love the colour scheme and your outfit is great as well.
XXXX keep on going
Your red hair looks soooooo cute! :D
Your red hair gives a different flare to your outfits.
This is a fun outfit! I just love the setting

Such a perfectly pretty fall outfit. Those JC shoes looks absolutely fabulous with the flares. I really love this look!
i don't know how it's taken me so long to find your blog, but you are lovely! your red hair reminds me of florence welch!
you're so right about flares! they make your legs look super super long! I recently wore a 70s-ish inspired outfit with high waisted flairs and a jacket like the kind harold wears in harold and maude and felt so "girl in Autumn, 1974" or something :)

perfection!

I could not have dreamed a prettier fall outfit.
I don't know if I've told you this yet, but your new hair color looks absolutely stunning on you! And as far as these jeans go, they do make your legs look miles long flared jeans + heels is a no fail combination.

Maria, I love this laid back look on you. The fur collar is such a special and unexpected addition!
By the way, you're red locks came out so well!! I hope it's just the change you were looking for. It definitely gives a different vibe to your look. I wish I had the courage to go red, I've wanted to be one for as long as I can remember.

You look so gorgeous with your new haircolour, Maria! I've always wanted to be a redhead and now I feel like I just have to dye my hair when I see all you gorgeous redheads..
