OK, a propos of being creative - which is to say, mixing the cheapy purchases with the finer ones - here are the F21 high-waisted jeans styled two different ways:
Jeans: Forever 21, Shoes: n.d.c., Sweater: Banana Republic I realize it's a challenging, which is to say exaggerated, look. This is why I'm wearing the jeans with heels and a bit of attitude. It's also why I bought this look via the high-street. I do think that inexpensive denim can be a super buy because it generally doesn't show its relative shabbiness.

Wow, those jeans are INCREDIBLY flattering on you. You are definitely one of the POSITIVE examples of how high waisted jeans can work...
ReplyDeleteIf you don't mind me asking, how much were those? I don't want to shell out over $40 for F21 jeans...
You did a great job with this look, and you chose the right pair of high-waisteds. Really, really nice.
ReplyDeleteSP: Thanks so much! It was shocking to me that they fit well because this is a look I've been trying on for months with no success. I guess, there's a piece for every body type. You too can own these for 34.00 - and that's CDN. In the US, they might be even less expensive. Go try them on and let me know if you get them...
ReplyDeleteEnc: As always, thank you! Your fitness posts are giving me some good ideas. My mind is swirling (at 5:56 a.m.!)
K-Line you're a hot mama. I only hope when I have babies, I can take care of my personal appearance the way you do. Something tells me, I'll be a total mess.
ReplyDeleteEtoilee: You are so kind. But of course, as a woman who posts pics on her own blog, you know how much of it is smoke and mirrors :-) For a long time after my baby was born (a long time), my figure did not return to its former self. But a lifestyle rework later, I'm starting to feel confident again. Something tells me you will do just fine when you have kiddies of your own! K
ReplyDeleteI want those jeans! But only if they look as good on me as they do on you.
ReplyDeleteMiss Wendy: Between your gorgeous figure and your wedgey shoes, these are going to look great on you...
ReplyDeleteOh wow those pants look great :). What a good choice.
ReplyDeletei must find and hunt down those jeans!!!!
ReplyDeleteNadine: Thanks! You may be able to find them at F21 in Germany (though I'm not sure if the stock is widely different than North American stock). You, of all people, could probably make them!
ReplyDeleteRiz: Run, don't walk, cuz you know how everything at F21 is here today and gone tomorrow...
U look amazing. I need a pair of high waisted jeans too! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, C. (See, getting older isn't all boring! :-))
