Come hell or high water or high-waisted jeans
Anyone who knows me can tell you that I’m not exactly on the cutting edge of fashion.
Don’t get me wrong – I’m not BEHIND the times. I’m not wearing shoulder pads or anything. I know how to dress myself and my slightly complicated figure. I splurge on good denim, accentuate the positives, and know when to belt a dress. When I actually try, I can put together a somewhat decent outfit.
But most of the time, I don’t really take fashion risks. I like my tried-and-trues.
So on Saturday, when Ashley and I were at Anthropologie and she convinced me not only to try on but subsequently drive home with a pair of high-waisted jeans, I was shocked.
And when we got back to the house and my brother immediately brought up Steve Urkel, and then taught my nephews how to taunt me with the classic Urkel line, “Did I do that?” needless to say, my confidence was shaken. But then I remembered that my brother isn’t exactly rocking the fashion world himself (sorry, Jeremy).
So I put on the new jeans, and headed out for dinner and drinks – looking no less than 7 feet tall, I might add.
But I left the tags on, just in case. (I know – go ahead. Judge.)
So what say you, my little sweeties? Yay or nay on the high-waisted jeans?

they’re adorable! you look amazing in them! i’m 39 weeks pregnant, so right now i’m just dreaming of getting to wear something like that!
Yes times a million. Those were MADE for you.
A million yays!
Definite yay.
love them! love the buttons!
*dies*! You have to keep those jeans.
Yes yes yes!!!
They look amazing on you (they do not work on petite people, this I know). But I would suggest a little more on top – a patterned scarf, or little jacket or shrug. Might make you feel more balanced.
Love them though – have always wanted to wear them. Even at my skinniest they don’t work for someone 5’2″. Makes me look like I go from boobs to hips with no waist. :)
Sorry I said “boobs” on your blog.
yes. wear them everywhere.
Yay! They’re lovely. :)
NO!
Just kidding, obvi. But who would vote no? For the realz, they look good.
KEEP ’em! Anybody who looks that good in high waisted anything should definitely be wearing it!
Oh I love those on you. YES.
Are you kidding?! Are you looking at the same picture we are looking at? You look like a model. I love how flattering it is for your teeny waist and long legs. :)
Normally, I kind of hate high wasted jeans. They look absolutely ADORABLE on you, though! I’d keep ’em. :)
Ummm, that last comment should say “Emily from SEATTLE.” :P
You look absolutely adorable…and I would kill for your “slightly complicated” figure : )
100% yes! They make your tiny waist look even tinier and your long legs look even leggier.
They look awesome!! I like wearing my high-waisted jeans with short sweaters and every once in a while, I’ll belt them. But truly Annie– they look fantastic!!
first, you know my vote. :)
second, my favorite part of this blogpost is the (sorry jeremy) moment.
hahaha.
I absolutely love them. Now go find some flowy silk tops and tuck them in.
You look amazing in them. :)
These pants are Steve Urkel? No. But remember Stefan Urquelle? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvoKFiDTQx4
That’s more like it…
HOTT.
it would be a sin to not wear them!
Heck yes! Are you kidding me? You look incredible in those. Totally chic and current but not in an I’m-trying-super-hard-to-be-hip-way.
Absoulutey yes, they look fab!!( Love the red shoes)
Let’s just say you are no Jessica Simpson.
Fabulousness.
xoxo
I’m all about the high-waist. (It covers mah belly.) :) LOVE THEM.
Add another ‘Yay’ to the pile, Annie. They are gorgeous on you.
Those jeans were made for you! Wow!
