watching Saved by the Bell or Full House probably has a very particular idea of 80's/early 90's fashion. I think I will have the images of floral blouses with shoulder pads and high waisted stone washed tapered jeans forever ingrained in my mind.
As a result when I first started seeing high waisted pants coming back into the fashion scene I had a really tough time keeping an open mind. That is until I put on my first pair of high waisted shorts. It was a magical moment. I can't believe that as a girl with hips, I didn't automatically jump at a style that cinches at the waist and falls away at the hips. My high waisted shorts immediately became my summer favourite.
With fall approaching I started to keep my eye out for some high waisted pants that didn't remind me of those worn by Jessie Spano. Ironic that I didn't just end up with high waisted pants, but with a pair of pleated and tapered high waisted black pants that i'm pretty sure Jessie wore on more than one occasion. And I love them... who would have thought!
Pants: American Apparel. Tank: Urban Outfitters. Belt: Jacob. Pumps: Aldo. Ring: Barefoot Contessa
These pants from American Apparel are the most comfortable pants I've ever worn. I brought such random items of clothing to Mike's place this weekend (why didn't I plan outfits while packing? why??) that I decided to pair them with my red tank, brown studded belt and simple black pumps.
The finishing touch was my new ring from Barefoot Contessa. I know i'm not huge on accessories but I really love this ring!
I spent today being lazy. Is it just me or does having a lazy day of doing absolutely nothing get more difficult with age? I felt guilty all day! Oh well, I only have a few days off holidays left, I need to push past that guilt and enjoy doing nothing before it's time to go back to work. I hope you all have a great weekend! xo
absolutely stunning outfit melissa! great colour, well tailored pants and that ring just tops it all off! I love it. You look so chic :)
ReplyDeleteand I totally grew up watching saved by the bell and full house haha, those were good times.
zara has a good stock of high waisted trousers, i actually just picked up a pair for work. (yes, "work" always makes for a good reason to shop lol)
I think I need to find a pair of pants like this; they look really good on you.Also, I love this red color on you!
ReplyDeleteAt least you didnt try to fry your hair with a Jessi Spano perm!! I think my best reminder of their outfits was when Kelly, Lisa and Jessi wer edoing their workout video when Jessi was taking pills. Their workout video outfits were soooo horrible.

Holy CRAP those pants look fantastic! I don't think I could ever, ever pull them off but you really look so great. I love the tan belt with them too, I'm really liking black and brown more and more.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm going back in my mind re-watching all of the SBTB episodes...
Those pants look great on you, and I love how you belted them with a skinny belt. Tres Chic!
