high-waisted jeans


I have finally given in to the high-waisted jeans craze. This photo is not representative of the reality of the jeans. They are less flared on me and longer (since i'm not a model, i think there is less of a difference between the flare at the bottom and my hips).

Pros:
No muffin top.
No tugging my shirt down in fear that my underpants are showing.
A certain Katherine Hepburn-esque allure when teamed up with high heels, a nice belt, and tailored white shirt.

Cons:
Because I work in a filthy environment and am on my feet for ten hours + a day, I will be sporting the jeans with flats and a hoody, rather than the aforementioned heels and white shirt.

All hail the high(er)-waisted jean. Finally, a style that I can wear that doesn't leave a gap at my waist large enough to hold a small child, koala-bear style :) I have hips - not gigantic, but I had a baby, so there are hips. And, I have a long, relatively small waist and short legs. So, low rise jeans made me look like a garden gnome. NOT attractive at all...
