High Waisted: A Girl’s Best Friend

May 29, 2011

 

 
Shirt: TJ Maxx, Skirt: La Vie Petite, Shoes: Forever 21
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.

    That 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.

    cute! 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. 😉

    Hey! I know this is kinda off topic nevertheless I’d
    figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest authoring a blog post or vice-versa?
    My blog discusses a lot of the same subjects as yours and I believe we could greatly benefit from each other.
    If you are interested feel free to shoot me an email.
    I look forward to hearing from you! Great blog by the way!
