summer bells

by Karen Blanchard

Floral bells: Shopcuff. (but these are my dream pair).  Top: H&M. A top more oversized like this would work. 
Old boots: Mens thrift. (if your not into thrift, these are a similar feel). Bag: LF. (fringe alternative or this). Hat: ASOS. Turquoise ring:  Brooklyn flea market.  Necklace: Urban Outfitters. Large silver talon ring: Studded & Stoned. Shades: Ray Ban
I’ve been looking at floral bell bottoms lately.  They’re light and less expected than denim flares (which I still love though).   These were cheap enough to road test till I find my favourites. 
Floral bells are perfect for summer festivals – must go to one or two this season. Anyone got any favourites in or around New York??

    Perfectly styled as always! You have really great hats… How does this one from Asos fits size wise. I have a tiny noggin so finding hats can be a challenge, but still my collection grows.

    I reckon it’s freakin brilliant how you kept the whole look simple and casual yet didn’t leave out subtle but compelling extras like the mineral necklace, the rings, and the fringe bag.

    I will definitely be rocking the oversized tee and flares look. I am not daring enough for floral ones, but I love my denim ones from Gap (and for $10). Great photos as well!

    I love these. I like that they have a flare but it’s not too large so it keeps it modern. The top works so well too. Not too big but certainly a comfy outfit. Love!
