It’s back to school time! My look, inspired by That ’70s Show (if only I had Donna’s hair!) shows how much the flare jean has evolved, and also how elements of 1970s cool have also seeped into 2011 style. The jeans are the Roxi Stretch Skinny Flare Jean, $48 at UNIONBAY.com, but you can get the exact same pair au gratis.To get these dark wash super soft stretchy jeans see below for the quick and easy entry rules.

[At Nicholas K, 9am, first day of New York Fashion Week. Don’t you love the security guards in the background?]
Let’s get it started! Day one was off to a rapid start, beginning with backstage at the very first show of the season, Nicholas K, at 8am. All I had time for this morning was some tinted moisturizer, Maybelline’s new Fit Me! Concealer #10, and Maybelline Falsies Mascara — no time for contact lenses! It was unbelievably FREEZING COLD outside, so I decided to nix anything that required tights for Day 1 – and instead opted for comfy, but nonetheless chic (and warm) look! Pants and my fleece-lined booties were the BEST idea I could have had on this day, as pockets were key for shoving show invites, pens, vitamins, and gum into them, and my feet looked chic without having to worry about throwing on a longer pair of boots.
