High and dry

Think that you have to be rail thin to wear high waists pants and skirts? Actually these silhouettes look great on curvy figures but there are stipulations:

If you have a tummy, this is not the style for you. It will draw attention to an area that you want to camouflage.

These look fabulous on long torsos and are a great way to define your waist and elongate your legs.

Wear them with fitted tops, preferably tucked in.

More Wide leg wonders

Well, I found my wide leg jeans after much searching for the perfect fit. The saleswoman at Macy's led me to them and I smiled gleefully as I admired myself in the dressing room. They are 7 For All Mankind Ginger fit and I LOVE the length. They definitely have a 70's thing going on (that was SO my decade!)

I am keeping everything else simple with a pop of color at my feet:

I also found great wide leg pants at Gap that are available in short, regular and long lengths for only $49.50!

The picture shows a more casual way to wear these but I plan on dressing them up a bit with a button down shirt and high heel. Tailored boyfriend pant @ gap.com
