A Newfound Appreciation for High-Waisted Skirts
The high-waisted skirt/shorts trend has been around for a while and I always thought it’d be one of those trends I’d never be interested in because of my petite frame – high-waisted bottoms are supposed to make us tiny people look even tinier. But then I saw one of my friends in a tutu-like high-waisted skirt and liked it. She’s around my height too and the skirt didn’t really make her look any shorter. I wonder where I picked up that fashion tip?
Jumping into the high-waisted skirt bandwagon isn’t entirely the reason why I chose to wore my polka-dotted skirt this way ($5 from a San Francisco thrift store – first time I wore it out too!). The sequined top was something I intended to sell on the store until I discovered two cigarette burns at the lower back. So I decided to keep it for myself. I’m not even sure if the skirt is supposed to be worn this way, but it has a garter waistband and pulling it up higher did the trick of hiding the burns!
The Oxford mary janes were an ukay-ukay find from the ever-reliable Fashion Delite. Like the top, it was originally meant for the Ukay Manila Store, but I decided to keep them because I’ve always wanted a pair of Oxford mary janes. Where else am I gonna find a pair that costs P450?
Wish I had time to take better pictures, but I’m running late!

Ouch! My gran used to say “if you haven’t got something nice to say, then don’t say anything at all”. Either way, I think you look great!

Actually, I always thought skirts on the hip made me look shorter (I’m really short as well!) so I always tend to wear high waisted things ^^

For 450, I think that’s really cheap.
