(Blouse: Target $16, Shorts: Garment District $15, Belt: Forever 21: $7, Music Note Toms: Ebay $52)
This was taken a couple weeks ago, back when the weather still held the essence of summer, hence the shorts. I love high waisted anything, I truly think that this generation is missing out on the totally clever idea of high waisted clothing. It extenuates your waist, while making your butt look good, elongates your legs and hides any tummy you may have. Yet, it isn't just for "old ladies" because of its convenience at hiding and supporting. It looks inventive and super cute, plus it gives "Shorts and a tee shirt" a whole new meaning. Crop tops and no six pack? Simple. High waisted shorts paired with a crop and your good to go. I wish more stores carried them, because it can be a struggle trying to find a pair that fit and look good in thrift shops. My trick is to not only look at the shorts, but to look at the jeans also. If you find a pair of 80s mom jeans that fit you at the waist, but perhaps not in the leg area, you can cut them to make a really cute pair of shorts. Of course this method does not help in looking for high waisted full length jeans, in which I am currently seeking. If a pair of authentic high waisted jeans is found retail, it usually pretty nearly breaks the bank. Thus, my hunt continues for the perfect pair of high waisted denim before autumn goes full blast.
If you find a pair, I would appreciate it if you let me know :) Love, Maia.
