TREND: HIGH-WAISTED SKIRTS

My friends will probably roll their eyes at this post. I’ve been known to overdo this trend a bit. Read: More often than not, I am found wearing some sort of high-waisted ensemble. Fortunately, the look is quite flattering, easy to pull off, and versatile enough to wear for day, night, or even on the job.

FOR DAY

Going high-waisted by day is not only comfortable, but instantly and easily put together.

  • Wear them with basics.
  • Don’t be afraid to mix patterns.
  • Let your accessories downplay the look.

FOR NIGHT

Wearing this trend out at night is my go-to look, because it’s easy to dress up or dress down.

  • Pair patterned skirts with a dressy top or blazer
  • Add a cinching belt to lend structure.
  • With such a comfortable silhouette, go daring with shoes.

FOR WORK

Dating back to the era depicted by Mad Men, the high-waisted skirt is the perfect nine to five outfit.

  • Work with proportions, balancing a shorter skirt with a bigger top.

Peace,

Last weekend was really quite a weather tease. The unseasonably early sixty degree weather gave a brief reprieve from winter and now I cannot wait for a change of season and wardrobe. It is about time to say goodbye to the sturdy boots I have worn everyday for the past four months of winter trekking. The minute I see some pink flowers outside, that’s it: no more boots.

Peace,

How I wish it were safer to ride a bicycle to class, but with my skill level I would for certainly get hit by oncoming traffic.

Though my friends Steph and Caitlin each have distinct styles, this picture of them is adorably coordinated.
