Howdy Doody Tootie Fruity. {We’re going for random greetings this fine Friday}
These pants are something I’m pretty sure my mom would have worn in the 70s … and looked stinkin hot in them too. But now I’m wearing them, and their from H&M and I don’t look hot in them at all. This is what happens when you don’t try things on before you buy them. You get home and realize {with great sorrow and a swift kick in your own rear} that you just bought bell-bottom floods that can only be worn with flats. Two things that should never go together.
So that’s why I’m here today folks. To inform you {because who ELSE is going to tell you super informative and life changing things like this?} that you should never leave a store with an item of clothing without at least holding it up to your bod to see how amazeballs you’d look in it. And second, don’t ever wear bell bottoms with flats. Bell bottoms were made to make your legs look delicious and long and hot-alicious.
The End.
You’re so lucky I’m here for stuff like this.

Sounds like it’s time for a hem job and some cute capris.
Shelley says
So get your bell-bottoms long. CHECK. 🙂 And wear them with super hot stilletos, right? 🙂 You still look super cute in them Syd. -Cute pony too! I want to see how you did it!
Missy says
Thanks Syd! I’m glad we have you around to keep us in the know.:)
Lisa says
Ohhhhh, that’s it! I only wear flares and bell bottoms because I just can’t really see myself in anything else. Skinny jeans scare me. Straight leg jeans just look funky at the bottom. I just inevitable go back to what I know and am comfortable with.
So, this must also be the reason I can’t pull off flats.
Any info on how to pick/wear jeans? 🙂
Alissa says
I agree with Lisa! Skinny jeans scare me, and take me back to the 80’s, which is a place I don’t believe fashion should ever re-visit. My sister and I have vowed to each other (in blood!) that we won’t ever own a pair. So how do I wear my flare or boot cut jeans with flats since that’s all I own?
Peggy says
Ok… serious question! What happens if you can’t wear heels (per doctor’s orders) but because of your seriously curvy and need I say short stature they appear to be the only thing that you look good in? I must admit I am a Berk girl because I practically kill myself in heels (seriously I almost feel through a plate glass window this week while trying to walk in heels!! so so sad at 46 and still can’t manage it!) So what would you consider the shortest “heel” to wear with bell bottoms? Cause my hubby thinks I look smokin’ hot in them! Sorry, just tellin’ it like it is… and I am super curvy but only 5’3″. Please I am desperate need of help!!! (trust me my only fashion sense now comes from my 17 year old son who can dress looking like he just stepped out of the pages of GQ! where did he get his fashion sense is what I want to know?)
Thanks a ton!! I really appreciate it!!
Kayley says
take the hem out! i did this recently with a pair of flare jeans and it worked perfectly.
Linda Meziere says
I think you look fine. Don’t worry about it.
Monica says
If you go back to the 70’s you will realize that not everyone wore the big chunky shoes!! How do you think that nasty,dirty,torn hem of the jeans got started?! I think if you have the right body and know how to match those bell bottoms with the right top you can wear the flats! BTW, you look good, makes me wish I was young and cute again! Loved the 70’s!!

Hi Sydney,
I’ve you would live in holland you would steel the show!
Everyone here is tired from the skinny jeans, and are wearing the bell bottoms, with super cute ballerina’s (don’t know if this is an english word, but I mean the shoes that look like the one you where at ballet) a very light pink/salmon t-shirt with ruffles, small brown belt and glasses like yours.
so I should say, where those jeans with proud!
PS: For the more adventures woman they make a vest for over the shirt by taking a huge sleeveles dark gray t-shirt, cutting it open from bottom to top, stitching those cut open sides, and sew an elastic in the back from left to right for an A-line waist.
PPS: I love all of you american gilrs!
