Swoon. Marc Jacobs Saunder Striped Skirt, $178.50
Sweet. Free People High Waisted Button Skirt, $98
Couple of tips for you…I’ve been reading some places that because I’m petite AND short-waisted I shouldn’t be wearing high-waisted anything. I think ANYONE can pull of the high-waisted skirt. Here’s how:
- If you happen to be petite or short-waisted, choose a shorter hem line. Yes, the high waist might make your torso look shorter, but cute flirty length will elongate your legs.
- Your best bet is to pair this look with some type of heeled shoe…boots, sandals, stilettos, platform wedges etc. The extra height will further elongate your legs and streamline the look. Beware: flats will kill the effect!
- Conservative work environment? You can definitely still rock it. Opt for a high-waisted but basic A-line or pencil skirt. The more classic silhouettes can be paired with blazers and conservative french cuff shirts.

I want to get one but I’ve got to figure how to pull it off. Plus, I’ve got to find one that is really meant for it, because I have a pretty small waist compared to my gigantic hips so it has to be cinched around the waist to not look stupid but still fit over my butt
I really need a personal stylist. I think that is what it comes down to!
maybe a tulip shape or the kind with a paper bag waist….one that’s kinda cinched on purpose, you know? Even if it’s loose at the waist it’s okay, you could pair it with a belt, and that would kinda solve the problem
