I once heard a rumor that Mariah Carey had her two bottom ribs removed so that she could fit into clothes better…or was it Janet Jackson? On either account, I fit into that category of girls with an extra large rib cage. Put it this way, in middle school my ribs protruded further than my tatas–and it was cause for some major juvenile teasing. Which may be why I am totally stoked that high waisted skirts are back in. They give me some semblance of a waist and they totally hide the post baby pooch that every old man at church mistakes for a preggo bump, not cool.
Visit La Vie Petite if you want your very own handmade, mustard yellow, pooch-hiding, high waisted, glorious skirt.

May 29, 2011 at 8:39 pmThat arrived so quickly. You look phenomenal. I too have a large rib cage, and when one is short this can be annoying. I am sure you know this. Love all of your cute poses. I may have to save up for the blue and white one or this one. Oh both are awesome.

May 30, 2011 at 1:29 amcute! I belt everything, which is pretty similar… I have huge ribs, too. I once asked my mom if there was a rib reduction surgery and she gave me a speech about how I'd appreciate those ribs when I was hugely pregnant. Which, ok, yes, I did. But I'm pretty sure I spend more time unpregnant. 😉

May 30, 2011 at 1:40 amAhhhh!!!! LOVE that skirt, and you look gorgeous! I'm a huge fan of high waisted skirts for that reason. Much easier to suck it in up high than the 'ol mommy belly down low 😀

May 30, 2011 at 4:50 amVery nice skirt! I like high wasted skirts too, it gives the illusion of longer legs 🙂 (I need all the help I can get.)
Happy Memorial Day!

Thanks for your transparency 🙂
