Thursday. The summer before last was all about the high waisted bell bottom jean,
and I was in paradise, as they are my absolute favorite. As the season came to an end I
watched as the sexy high waist fell by the wayside. An era of the "boyfriend" jean
took over shortly after, and yes I did participate. And now we're all going crazy for the denim
legging--which I have worn religiously since a trip to Topshop in May left me with three pairs.
But there is something about returning to that one style that felt the most like you. (Of course
I still love this style, but they are so hard to find now, and the few pairs from that summer are
faded and torn. I seriously need to step up my thrifting efforts) I especially love the pair of
Made in Heaven brand above-- the wash, the cut, the rise, perfect! The label is straight from
the 1970's--and they have left the fits almost exactly the same! I got the chance to meet and
talk with the designer, Chloe Lonsdale, that same summer as the high waisted craze, and she
really is the sweetest brit in the sweetest jeans.
