I have not always been a fan of high waisted jeans. In fact, I'd say I've been the exact opposite: they always made me think of the dreaded "mom jeans" and seemed terribly ass flattening. (and trust me I have a flat enough ass as it is!) But ever since Marc Jacobs showed his colorful satin high waisted pants styled a la Jodie Foster in Taxi Driver, I've been intrigued. So a few weeks ago I let me friend Beth, who owns a boutique, bring me a pair to check out: the "Bette" jean from J Brand. My first thought was that they were too much an exact replicate of something from the '70s with their patch pockets in front, than a modern reinterpretation. But I tried them on and realized they're really soft and comfortable and it was really nice to have a different silhouette –so I decided to keep them and I'm sure they're going to be a major summer into fall staple!
I paired them with a cropped top by Diana Orving that I picked up at Opening Ceremony awhile back. I love the asymmetry in the hem of the top and how it's more revealing in back then in front. And worn with the higher jean there's no fear of the dreaded muffin top! Also wearing my favorite straw summer hat to protect myself from the sun, gold earrings that I've permanently borrowed from my mom and super comfortable "Lively" shoes by Nicole –on sale
