high waisted skinny jeans: oh my, yes! {or} oh, hell no!

so i've been hesitant to try high waisted skinny jeans, even though i've already braved the high waisted bikini bottoms (here) and the high waisted bells (here and here).  but i had concerns that the silhouette would make me feel a bit like betty boop (oh hips!).  so, what do you think? would you wear them? 

pants: blank denim, blouse: joie, shoes: free people,  sunglasses: karen walker (here and here),belt: jcrew, ring: alexis bittar, bracelett: asos

They look great on you, but I won't dare. High waisted bells is as far as I can go. Besos!

as ever, it depends on the body and style of the woman wearing them (or choosing not to). if it's flattering and comfortable, yes! if not, no! personally, i LOVE high-waisted pants because they balance my long-waisted silhoutte; low-waisted pants make my legs look awfully stumpy. i also have a small-ish waist and bum, which also works well with the cut; i think perhaps someone with less of a waist or too much of a pear shape might not find it as flattering. on you, with your willowy legs, they're perfectly pretty and a nice change of pace!

i love high waisted pants from the front. It really accentuates the waist which i love but from the back, your butt ends up looking really long and flat! i wish there was a way to fix that. but you do look great!! love how you paired it with the blouse and belt.

I am PRO high-waisted jeans and those look AMAZING on you!

Yes! I am a big fan. I don't like my skinnies ultra skinny - I like them with a little bit of wrinkle around the ankles and knees. But as someone who holds all her weight in her belly I love high-waisted jeans. They're way more flattering for my body type and more flexible for styles (I can tuck in more shirts with high-waisted jeans, which can really dress up a simple t-shirt). However it really depends on the brand and on the fit. I have a pair of grey Nudie Jeans that are high-waisted that I pretty much live in!

You look itty bitty in them! I especially love that Joie top and wished I would've bought it during the plethora of "Friends & Family" sales!

I think high waisted skinnies can be difficult to pull off but they are so chic when done right! I would stick to dark hues and pull it all together with thoughtful details and shoes that elongate the leg =) xx Sal
