I LOVE the high-waisted look!
I love high waists, they are so flattering and wearable. Not to mention fun!
I particuarly love high waist trousers at the moment, although i'm get to get my hands on a pair.
Love the high waist knickers also! Kate Sylvester does an amazing ruffled pair... perfection!
xx
I love your finds, great examples!

We love the high-waisted trend- except for the lack of expansion that it allows after a holiday meal. Lovely pix!
I am adoring the high-waisted look. Now if only my waist was as tiny as Victoria Beckham's, I think I would be complete ;)
I hope this style is here to stay for quite a while. It's tres classy.
I think high waisted are fabulous, I like to wear them, probably not so higher as some pictured, because I haven't them.
And it can give "long legs"....
xoxo
Loving everything high-waisted... the gilet, not that much...
Have a great weekend CC!
ohh i love super high waist items, they are sexier than on the waist!
I think that I need a pencil skirt. I'll be back soon here !
Loving all of these! You always find the best images x
Very Nice;)

I love high waists. I'm glad this is a trend that actually looks good on me. The Wren picture and the jodhpur-esque black pants are great.
i love high waisted skirts! and i LOVE BALMAIN! hahah, but high waisted wide-leg pants just look horrid on me!
The sparkly tank + leather (ish) high-waisted skirt = immediate lust. repeat after me: I must win the lottery :-)
I can't live without the high waist. I loved everything here, especially the UO trousers - they look so chic!
I am in LOVE with the Carpenter Jeans... oh in love, in love!!!!!
Hi CC
Slap me for i now its been too long. Yeah i think i deserve that :P
The fantastic thing about high waisted skirts is that it is always a very class skirt to don and has the added benefit of accentuating the natural curves that women should have and does this despite anyones size.
Well done on picking only influential pieces hun
Missed youuuuuuuu too :) lol
I agree with WendyB. High waist skirts can be really hot ! This post of yours is MARVELOUS !! :)
Thanks for your cute comment ! Do come back ! :D
i love wearing high waisted skirts, trousers ect. i'm feeling tall and lady-like.
xx
I love the high waist on skirts, it looks incredible - so sophisticated and polished. High waisted jeans are something I cannot get used to though.
i really like these skirts
xo
I love it in mini skirts, such as the Cynthia Steffe one, or in pencil skirts (love Moschino and Balmain ones! *.*), but not in trousers...
I have a high waisted mini skirt and now I want a pencil one! they are so elegant and sexy :P haha
Byee
xx
Love those grey high waisted trousers, and the houndstooth skirt looks amazing!! It's a shame that not everyone can pull em off.
Oh yes, darling!
It's coming back, and it's can be very chic! Fantastic style! :)
Have a great weekend! :)

So chic! I'm not a big fan of high waisted pants but I adore high waisted skirts!!!
I love high waisted flare pants and high waisted pencil skits and thats about it, to be honest. So I was so glad to see them. <3
Many people are starting to abuse the trend in a really bad way.
high waisted skirts are pretty much my life. Thanks for your sweet comment!!
high or low.. I'm glad that anything allowed.
Just remembered. .. kedge. I can't take the credit for it. It was mentioned in magazines some time ago in Australia.
thank you for your comment hun!
and i LOVE everything on and about this post!
love your blog :) xxx
I love how your post are always on image overload!
Love everything as usual!
Wonderful post!
xx.
I ADORE high waist! I wish I could find jeans with just the right height... not too high... not tooo low! I love how bellies do not hang over waist bands with high waist jeans. HELLO some people... rolls are not attractive!
BTW... glad you like the cards! Wait until you see my NEW collection in January... I think I might have to send it to you for a sneak preview! ENJOY! Fifi
I love the high waist look, but I bought high waisted jeans this summer and still haven't used them... They are so tight and uncomfy, I still wait for a day when I'm only standing up straight...
