Fashion Trend: High Waistlines

After years of low-cut pants and skirts, a higher waistline is making a comeback. Sometimes the look can be awkward. For example, remember Jessica Simpson in the high-waisted pants? So many comments were made about her weight, but I think her weight was fine. She was just wearing a very unflattering pair of pants.
A skirt is a much easier way to wear the high-waist look. There’s no awkward fit through the crotch and the skirt makes the body look longer and leaner than a pair of high-waisted pants.
Pretty Birdie’s Organic Cotton and Bamboo
High Waist Pencil Skirt
$80
I love this skirt. It’s made of organic cotton, bamboo, and lyrca that was dyed using eco-friendly dyes. It’s available in black, golden brown (looks like orange in the picture), or grey. I want one in each color.
Pretty Birdie’s Hemp Linen
High Waist Pencil Skirt
$120
Here’s another choice in a natural hemp material. The skirt has a great texture and it’s a classic design that you can wear forever.
Both skirts are from Stephanie Teague’s Pretty Birdie fashion line that you can find at Etsy.
