When a man loves a woman......



The beauty of a high waisted pant is that is sits at the thinnest part of the waist.  I've noticed that many trousers now, have such a low rise that they cause women to lose their waists.  It's one of the things that I really like about these pants.  These are vintage mens' trousers and while I know they're not everyone's cup o'tea, they certainly are mine!  I feel like I'm channeling Marlene Dietrich, one of the first actresses to wear mens' trousers.

You gotta love a trail blazin' woman!  She liked it.  She wore it.  And she OWNED the look!!!  That's called a SIGNATURE STYLE!

  7. I can't believe those are men's! They fit you perfectly.

    And definitely count me in as a fan of high-waisted pants. I hate pants that fall off my hips.

  9. Serene--the post title has started an ear worm and I shall be hearing this song that I love for the rest of the day. I totally agree with the high waists and showing off the waist. Love the texture in the jacket. Have you ever tried a longer blazer?

  10. Serene, I love this outfit. The color of the jacket is downright amazing. I like my pants higher waisted too. I don't like the feeling of lower pants. They just feel like they are creeping down all the time.
    The white tee and pants just look so good together.

  16. I love high-waisted pants too - they always do miracles to my body shape. I aways feel much taller and slimmer, when I'm wearing something with waist in the right place))) I agree with you - those low-waisted pants are not only robbing us of out waists, but also of our inches)
    You look amazing <3
