Back to the 70's...

Of late, I've followed the myriad of fashion articles, and dedicated, fashionable bloggers, and fallen head over heels for the influx of high-waisted, wide-leg jeans that are hitting the markets. [It also didn't hurt that I caught an old episode of "Charlie's Angels" on the other night, and fell in love all over again with the fabulous wedges, bell-bottoms, and hair feathering that so defined an era.] I found a pair of BCBG Maxazria trousers the other day on sale and fell instantly in love with the way they made my waist look minuscule and my legs look long and lean. However, when I was honest with myself, they were just a size too big, and there was not a single pair in one size down to be found. I nearly bought them anyway, swearing that I would get them tailored to fit me. Until I admitted that was essentially the equivalent of having a pair made from scratch. I put them back. So, my hunt for my perfect pair of high-waisted, wide-legged trousers continues, with these images as my inspiration.

  1. Ann Taylor Loft often has high waist/wide leg trousers. I have a couple of pairs (course they don't fit me at the moment), but they are super cute. Not sure about their spring selection, but it's worth a look! And their prices are not bad! :)
