Too High

Dear Mischa Barton, Jennifer Lopez and the rest of trendsetting Hollywood,

You have all been caught wearing high waisted pants recently, and while I wouldn't normally comment on these things, I now realize that what you wear ultimately makes its way to the rest of us in the form of 'this seasons styles'.... often to the detriment of perfectly flattering clothes the rest of us mortals wear.

Magazines have already started to tout the the death of  'low rise' jeans in favor of your new trend. This must stop.

High rise pants didn't look good before. They definitely don't look good now. They make our bums look a mile long and have all the aesthetic appeal of my grandfather's trousers. Please stop with the highrise!

I completely agree with your opining and question whether Hollywood's young and famous are Fashionistas or Fashion Victims? Skinny jeans with large belts are also on my taboo list as well as the empire waisted tops that resemble maternity wear.
The only benefit of this conservative trend is that we will no longer have to endure the thong peeking out of the jeans and unsightly midriff that teenage girls have been sporting the last few years. As a response, my updated wardrobe contains nothing but skirts and dresses. While designers are forcing their rendition of a tired look in pants, even a high waisted A-line skirt is flattering on nearly everyone and reflects the classy glamour reminiscant of the 1940's. I just embrace my own personal style and fuhgettaboutit!

Thanks so much for the second on that one Kytari.

And I agree entirely on your other points as well!

Ultimately, the game is to pick things that are flattering and, for me personally, just to have a little fun while I'm at it :).
