High Waisted: A Girl's Best Friend

Shirt: TJ Maxx, Skirt: La Vie Petite, Shoes: Forever 21

I once heard a rumor that Mariah Carey had her two bottom ribs removed so that she could fit into clothes better...or was it Janet Jackson? On either account, I fit into that category of girls with an extra large rib cage. Put it this way, in middle school my ribs protruded further than my tatas--and it was cause for some major juvenile teasing. Which may be why I am totally stoked that high waisted skirts are back in. They give me some semblance of a waist and they totally hide the post baby pooch that every old man at church mistakes for a preggo bump, not cool.

Visit La Vie Petite if you want your very own handmade, mustard yellow, pooch-hiding, high waisted, glorious skirt.

I will be linking this outfit up to to:

Love all of your cute poses. I may have to save up for the blue and white one or this one. Oh both are awesome.

At May 29, 2011 at 6:29 PM , Unknown said...: cute! I belt everything, which is pretty similar... I have huge ribs, too. I once asked my mom if there was a rib reduction surgery and she gave me a speech about how I'd appreciate those ribs when I was hugely pregnant. Which, ok, yes, I did. But I'm pretty sure I spend more time unpregnant. ;)
At May 29, 2011 at 6:40 PM , Crazy Wonderful said...: Ahhhh!!!! LOVE that skirt, and you look gorgeous! I'm a huge fan of high waisted skirts for that reason. Much easier to suck it in up high than the 'ol mommy belly down low :D
