Today was my day to rock high-waisted jeans at work. Luckily my office has a pretty lax dress code; I've seen people wear jeans everyday with no consequences. So today was my today to shake things up and to try an outfit I've been avoiding.
High-waisted bottoms have been a thing since long before 2018. They were present in the 50's and 60's, and were meant to accentuate the female form, specifically by elongating the legs. However, if you've been keeping with modern fashion, then you know that the new trend is to show off a thigh gap, or small waist leading to hips that narrow into thin thighs. I do not have this figure, and I don't think I ever will. Sometimes I let that thought keep me from wearing these cute high-waisted Monki jeans. But not today.
Today, I matched the jeans with a new turtleneck sweater from Banana Republic, for a simple but chic feel. Though, when I wore it I felt more like an 80's character—in a good way. To make things a little more fashionable, I paired it with a white vegan leather moto jacket from ModCloth. Yes I know, I have a lot of things from ModCloth. That took the outfit to a whole new level.
Normally I would have just worn the moto jacket by itself, but it's freaking cold outside! So of course, I just wore the jacket underneath my coat. It was so warm. Worth it.
For accessories, I just used a thin belt to accentuate my waist, but also cause I thought it added a cool feel. For my hair, I took another note from Bardot's lookbook. Maybe one fo these days I'll do a vlog about how to maintain this gray hair mess I have.
