Who would've thought that flares would be the IT thing again!? This comeback is yet more proof of how trends repeat, and reinvent, themselves in a continuous cycle. {If only I would've kept some of mine from the past I could've saved myself some serious $$!} My legs...

Growing up I attended a private school, until 5th grade, where uniforms were a requirement. Although at the time I despised wearing the same outfit as every other girl in class, I secretly enjoyed the plaid prints that adorned those dreaded knee-length skirts and...
