fresh fringe + high-waist heaven

high-waist jeans: nordstrom BP // sweater: target

look ma, fresh fringe! i can see things without rogue, stringy hairs falling into my face. hallelujah! 

also: though generally anti-pants, i decided recently to give jeans another go. i so desperately want to be one of those cool girls who just throws on a pair of jeans and a tee and has it goin' on. you know the type. so i spent some time thinking about what i'd want in a pair of jeans -- rather than looking at how other people wear them.

i found this pair of high-waisted jeans in the junior's section at nordstrom -- and i really lucked out, because they're at a great price point, too. especially compared to high-waist jeans elsewhere. i never thought i'd be so ecstatic over a pair of pants, but friends, i'm obsessed. i love how this cut emphasizes my waist instead of sitting on my hips, which is maybe my biggest complaint about jeans. and they're so, so comfy -- unbelievably so. i feel like adding this one thing to my wardrobe made it grow tenfold -- all my tees want to take a turn, and i still feel uber-fem -- what with that waist-defining magic. i'm absurdly thrilled, kids.
