Where did this musical insight come from? &lt;strong&gt;Alexa Chung&lt;/strong&gt; apparently. The source says that &lt;strong&gt;Alexa&lt;/strong&gt; informed lead singer &lt;strong&gt;Alex Turner&lt;/strong&gt; (and also her current beau) about the upcoming fashion 60's trend.&lt;br /&gt;Although fashion and music have for quite sometime been connected, is the new trend to forecast your upcoming album to the new trends? I sure hope not.&lt;br /&gt;This being (allegedly) true however for the &lt;strong&gt;Arctic Monkeys&lt;/strong&gt;, I think I might just have to purchase something to bask in their amazing tunes.

A huge load of studying was done, and now that midterms are over, I have plenty of time to blog. &lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;As for fashion, F/W 2008 will be bypassed this year. However, I might do a very brief re-cap sometime this week. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;As for this posts topic, let's talk about Karlie Kloss. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;For the past year, she has graced Teen Vogue quite regularly, and even landing a cover on the February 2008 edition alongside Chanel Iman and Ali Michaels. This season however, has truly brought the model from a young model in Teen Vogue, into the big league. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;At first glance at this photo:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5167758766198362770" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VpxdoNSPju8/R7eRN8gqEpI/AAAAAAAADVU/3eF0HKPJ38M/s400/KARLIE-KLOSS-EMAIL-1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;I immediately thought "Wow. She was MADE to walk for Calvin Klein. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Needless to say, Calvin Klein's Francisco Costa really ruined his one and only when he threw her in a really depressingly black and blue high waisted skirt and tube top outfit: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5167760316681556642" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VpxdoNSPju8/R7eSoMgqEqI/AAAAAAAADVc/AzvboTInR2g/s400/00110m.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;I'll resist mentioning the horrid hairstyle, but you have eyes and can see. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;However, other designers really took notice of her. It's hard to believe she is only 15 years old. When I was 15, I was still watching Teletoon and Rooney was on heavy rotation on my portable CD player. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Karlie Kloss aside, if I could have either of the following dresses from Benhaz Sarafpour's f/w 2008 collection, I think my life would be complete.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5167766918046290610" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VpxdoNSPju8/R7eYocgqErI/AAAAAAAADVk/IJfAdGyKiiw/s400/benhazfw2008.jpg" border="0" /&gt; Of course, taking a cue from Proenza Schouler's f/w 2008 collection, I would pair either of the two with plum tights and the following &lt;a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/30424" target="_blank"&gt;Alexander McQueen&lt;/a&gt; striped pumps ($805)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5167767575176286914" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VpxdoNSPju8/R7eZOsgqEsI/AAAAAAAADVs/X4UYQCdgLkY/s400/index.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;And while we are at it, let's finish off the look with this gorgeous orange short trench from DKNY f/w 2008&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5167768185061642962" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VpxdoNSPju8/R7eZyMgqEtI/AAAAAAAADV0/fevkLy9bKm0/s400/00560m.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now THAT is an outfit suitable for f/w 2008!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For the record, as a follow-up from my last post on Reid Kastyn, she landed just one f/w 2008 runway show, with Sue Stemp. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32905020-8806715496548666528?l=sophies-style.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sophies-style.blogspot.com/feeds/8806715496548666528/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=32905020&amp;postID=8806715496548666528&amp;isPopup=true' title='29 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32905020/posts/default/8806715496548666528'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32905020/posts/default/8806715496548666528'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sophies-style.blogspot.com/2008/02/im-back.html' title='I&apos;M BACK!'/><author><name>-S</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12472964118816070234</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09947640396286308449'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VpxdoNSPju8/R7eRN8gqEpI/AAAAAAAADVU/3eF0HKPJ38M/s72-c/KARLIE-KLOSS-EMAIL-1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>29</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32905020.post-4970822624011156291</id><published>2008-01-17T09:20:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2008-01-17T09:40:01.325-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='photography'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fashion news'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='introducing'/><title type='text'>a new face</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VpxdoNSPju8/R491HPRgwMI/AAAAAAAADSA/e6Jf70HbLpY/s1600-h/101.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5156468865582022850" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VpxdoNSPju8/R491HPRgwMI/AAAAAAAADSA/e6Jf70HbLpY/s400/101.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In between reading a mountain of textbooks, trying to memorize silly formulas and still obtaining a social life whilst trying to stay in tune with both the celebrity world and the fashion world, I somehow have found time to discover a new model! Of course when I say discover, I mean see-in-a-fashion-magazine-spread-and-then-announce-the-model-on-my-blog. Of course what is most interesting about &lt;a href="http://supermodels.nl/reidkastyn" target="_blank"&gt;Reid Kastyn&lt;/a&gt;, is not the fact that she has an amazing face (and not to mention a great haircut, which I might just copy on my own hair), is that in a spread with 32 different models, Reid stuck out. &lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5156467740300591282" style="DISPLAY: block;

Well, it has come true! Hate her or love her, she is one person you cannot ignore, but her MJ ad? Well, the fact that you cannot even see her face makes the ad that much more weird. Yes, we have seen Vicky's skinny skinny legs, do we really need an ad shoving them into our faces?

I am utterly sorry for the lack of posting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In better happier news, a new year has come! I of course welcomed the year 2008 in with a bang avec friends. Perhaps I was a tad over dressed, but sometimes, that can be a good thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do admit that a good 75% of the reason for my lack of posting is due to the fact that I have been in posting deadland. So, I bring you a what to wear for a winter return for school. Simply because any fashionista knows that one cannot wear the same attire that they wore in December (uh, unless that is just me). With a new year, means a brand new style change. From September to December, I was dressing with French influences, with lots of stripes, light layers, skinny legged pants (you know I prefer the title cigarette legged), and colourful flats. This season however, for the few days into January that we are, I'm seeming to be drawn to a more heavier style. When I mean heavier, of course I mean darker colours, longer sweaters, thicker layers, and boots. Brown and dark green have entranced me this January (along with my current obsession, motorcycle boots, which now have a higher leg rise), and I have ditched the navy blue and purple hues. Now that you are fully aware of my style change from last year to this year, I bring you the style guide for January back to school.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5153667382968893538" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VpxdoNSPju8/R4WBLfRgwGI/AAAAAAAADRQ/mNmiayWgbPE/s400/winterbacktoschool.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.

Now however, Sasha has really been climbing up the fashion scale. From Prada ads, to more amazing editorials.

Toni Garrn has done few editorials, and ONE runway show (&lt;a href="http://www.style.com/fashionshows/collections/S2008RTW/complete/slideshow/CKLEIN?event=show1622&amp;amp;designer=design_house16&amp;amp;trend=&amp;amp;iphoto=0" target="_blank"&gt;Calvin&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.style.com/fashionshows/collections/S2008RTW/complete/slideshow/CKLEIN?loop=0&amp;amp;event=show1622&amp;amp;designer=design_house16&amp;amp;iphoto=36&amp;amp;play=false&amp;amp;cnt=3" target="_blank"&gt;Klein&lt;/a&gt; ), yet her most noticed and talked about editorial was from French Vogue, although I was unable to find the exact date it was taken (Does anyone know?). The rumor is, that she's young (born in 1991), which is very hard for me to believe, as she looks much older. Anyways, enough with my rambling, here are the pictures:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5130656854622253538" style="DISPLAY: block;

Yes, I know she has been in the Chloé ads for the past while, but she doesn't quite fit with the brand. After all, we look towards Chloë and Clémence for our fashion inspiration, but Anja, not so much. Thoughts? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;UPDATE!&lt;br /&gt;Now flooding the fashion forums is the news of Lily Donaldson, Gemma Ward and Jessica Stam.

It may sound silly, but it is true. It was raining, which usually leaves me feeling depressed when I have to be outside (the fear of getting splashed but passing cars a la Bridget Jones scares me), alas, this one time I actually was left feeling happy, and excited after I can back indoors. A girl, who shall remain nameless (partly because I never met her), wore fushia wellies (who would have thought?) and skinny jeans. Partly, I was amazed because I have never had the guts to wear rubber boots. These boots however were wellies. Instantly I promised myself to buy a pair, although in a more practical colour. &lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Yes, I am aware that it is November tomorrow, and yes, sooner or later snow will stay on the ground (until March's spring melts it all away). However, wouldn't allow myself to save this post for March, or even April for that matter. Remember Kate Moss circa 2005 at the Glastonbury festival? No? Well, I shall revive your memory:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5127292783093228290" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VpxdoNSPju8/RyfNnuOyIwI/AAAAAAAADFQ/76nYeoo7g4Q/s400/53149501.jpg" border="0" /&gt;Although the dress may be short, and the hip-slung belt a tad over played, does she nbelt reads "Got just ooze cool? Granted, just about everything Kate Moss does is cool (minus the loser ex, who I refuse to mention), wellies, with a dress? Kate Moss, once again I salute you. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The same week in 2005, she wore the next outfit:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5127293826770281234" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VpxdoNSPju8/RyfOkeOyIxI/AAAAAAAADFY/yniI1rRhDfM/s400/74724645.jpg" border="0" /&gt; Note, the belt reads "GLASTONBURY", which, another note, if you have no idea what the Glastonbury festival is, search for it on wikipedia. Jean shorts? With a vest and wellies? Would you ever think of such a thing? Of course not. &lt;p&gt;Although you are probably done with the Kate Moss at Glastonbury photos! Alas, you have one more to scroll through, this one from the 2004 edition of Glastonbury. This photo demonstrates how amazing wellies look with skinny jeans. Imagine them with pink wellies? That was the inspiration for this post.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5127296004318700322" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VpxdoNSPju8/RyfQjOOyIyI/AAAAAAAADFg/fsFuOF4Aick/s400/50999227.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although I have not found a decent site selling wellies, expect to pay nor more than $70 for a good pair. As a last thought, go with solid colours. As much as you might like the striped wellies today, tomorrow when it rains and all you have left of your clean clothes is your &lt;a href="http://www.shopbop.com/vp/v=1/845524441808293.htm?folderID=2534374302024636&amp;amp;fm=browse-category-viewall-shopbysize" target="_blank"&gt;Rebecca Taylor Cardigan (puffed sleeves!), $300&lt;/a&gt; &lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5127299895559070530" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VpxdoNSPju8/RyfUFuOyI0I/AAAAAAAADFw/y_yUW7-Gb9c/s400/rebec2010013192_prod_medium.jpg" border="0" /&gt;and your &lt;a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/19171" target="_blank"&gt;Sass &amp;amp; Bide Misfit skinny jeans, $195&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5127299891264103218" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VpxdoNSPju8/RyfUFeOyIzI/AAAAAAAADFo/8pC1rILjLBE/s400/bk.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;you won't....on second thought, I like the idea of the cardigan and bright pink and blue polka dotted wellies. Apparently, my thoughts about printed wellies are seriously wrong. However, don't wear them if you're over the age of 25. It's just not cute anymore. Stripes and polka dots? Cute. Rubber duckies and weird prints? Not cute.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32905020-8187362181059412767?l=sophies-style.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sophies-style.blogspot.com/feeds/8187362181059412767/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=32905020&amp;postID=8187362181059412767&amp;isPopup=true' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32905020/posts/default/8187362181059412767'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32905020/posts/default/8187362181059412767'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sophies-style.blogspot.com/2007/10/wellies-in-winter-not-so-much-wait-for.html' title='wellies? in winter? not so much. wait for spring!'/><author><name>-S</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12472964118816070234</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09947640396286308449'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VpxdoNSPju8/RyfNnuOyIwI/AAAAAAAADFQ/76nYeoo7g4Q/s72-c/53149501.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32905020.post-6324458600073900969</id><published>2007-10-25T17:56:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2007-10-25T18:45:48.842-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='S/S 2008'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Diesel'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='L.A.M.B'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='celebrity style'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='skirts'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Grey Ant'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pants'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='How-To'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='shorts'/><title type='text'>high waisted how-to</title><content type='html'>In this post, I’m addressing an issue that has bombarded my e-mail inbox: high waisted shorts, pants and skirts. It’s a problem we all have: what do you wear them with? Do you tuck the shirt in? Can you wear a fancier blouse? How high should you go? All of these questions will be answered. &lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Part one: Celebrity inspiration: How they do and do not work. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Mischa Barton&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5125428372149772770" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VpxdoNSPju8/RyEt8uOyIeI/AAAAAAAADCo/2zeF41fCt5g/s400/denimdiapersmischa.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her problem? The shirt she paired them with, and the fit of the jeans. Fit is everything, and these jeans do not fit Mischa. She’s getting a bit of a camel toe, and overall, the cut is emphasizing her hips, making them look bigger than they actually are. The vintage shirt, is a 70’s throw back, and paired with a 70’s style jean, the overall look is a bit too vintage. Anther shirt could have done wonders.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Fergie&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5125428977740161522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VpxdoNSPju8/RyEuf-OyIfI/AAAAAAAADCw/TjSCAqdUMWU/s400/fergalicious%2520purple%2520pants.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;A great pair of purple jeans, paired simply with a plain black shirt. The problem? The belt loops. They sit at the height of a normal pair of jeans, so they visually shorten her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jessica Simpson&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5125429261208003074" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VpxdoNSPju8/RyEuweOyIgI/AAAAAAAADC4/QRkIzYSi1X8/s400/2005774202682562404_rs.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take note from Jessica’s wrongs: never ever go light wash with a high wasted pant. Light wash is hardly flattering. Gasp! The rouching on the pockets! Notice how they make you zoom in on her hips?

If you have a bit of a pouch, a higher waist can emphasize this area. Tip: go for a thinner top. Otherwise, when tucking in the shirt, a bit of substance will be added to your stomach. Overall, I love Peaches creativity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nicole Richie, Sienna Miller, Chloe Sevigny (L-R)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5125430468093813282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VpxdoNSPju8/RyEv2uOyIiI/AAAAAAAADDI/NELt8JUbhwc/s400/celebrities.jpg" border="0" /&gt;Nicole Richie: Although I’m not a fan of the longer pockets (MOM JEANS!!), this look really works for her. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sienna Miller: Now this is why I love sienna. She can make it work. Noitce how the shorts make her legs look like they go on forever? And yet her top half is still left with a good preportion? This is do to the strings on the shirt, the necklaces, and the v-necked shirt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chloe Sevigny: Pairing her shorts with boots? They visually shorten her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Part Two: Runway looks&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;Diesel S/S 2008 &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5125431816713544242" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VpxdoNSPju8/RyExFOOyIjI/AAAAAAAADDQ/0zLmZ3jwIdQ/s400/diesel.jpg" border="0" /&gt;Rule: Go V-neck.

Just make sure you pull down your shirt enough so that you do not create a bump.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5125432525383148114" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VpxdoNSPju8/RyExueOyIlI/AAAAAAAADDg/8oL7TfUCnw8/s400/diesel3.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don’t go with a belly top. You will be left with a patch of skin (usually), and when is that ever flattering?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Grey Ant S/S 2008&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5125432864685564514" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VpxdoNSPju8/RyEyCOOyImI/AAAAAAAADDo/viwm_WsPpmM/s400/greyant.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;KNOW YOUR BODY! (can I say that enough?) Try on lots of styles to see what looks good on you. Look for different pocket styles, looser vs. slimmer fits, where they hit you (i.e below belly button, at belly button, above belly button), and remember to always get a second opinion. Ask someone other than the store clerk (remember, a sale means money to them).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5125433328542032498" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VpxdoNSPju8/RyEydOOyInI/AAAAAAAADDw/6daBINUZZS4/s400/greyant2.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once you’ve found your pants/shorts/skirt, play with it. Try untucking/tucking the shirt in, and stick to what flatters. Do they look better with a loosly tucked in shirt? A non tucked in shirt?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;L.A.M.B S/S 2008&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5125433916952552066" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VpxdoNSPju8/RyEy_eOyIoI/AAAAAAAADD4/z2atWIs2wNo/s400/lamb.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Confused? Try the look with a belt! Check to see whether your pick works with a thicker or a skinner belt (as of right now, skinny belt's are hot).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5125434355039216274" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VpxdoNSPju8/RyEzY-OyIpI/AAAAAAAADEA/TcNRm7PVziQ/s400/LAMB2.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have fun! After you think about proportions and cut and everything else, don’t forget to wear your style. Like plaid? Go plaid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5125434750176207522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VpxdoNSPju8/RyEzv-OyIqI/AAAAAAAADEI/yYP4tuT5pes/s400/LAMB3.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can look classic. This is perhaps one of my favourite looks (along with Sienna's). Also note, just because highwaisted pants might not look good on you, doesn’t mean to give up on the look. Try shorts! Or a skirt! The possiblities are endless, and at there will be a look for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5125435360061563570" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VpxdoNSPju8/RyE0TeOyIrI/AAAAAAAADEQ/jAWjQPB0_sA/s400/LAMB4.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again, don’t go for a shorter cutted shirt. It will visually shorten you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Part Three: The Summary&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. Go for a newer styled shirt. Vintage will make you seem like you stepped out of a time capsule.&lt;br /&gt;2. Find what works for you. Try on different styles.&lt;br /&gt;3. Pay attention to proportion. Look to make sure you have not visually shortened yourself. Pay attention to where your untucked shirt hits you (never ever above the line of the pant).&lt;br /&gt;4. Go for a darker wash. Light wash? Too unflattering and way too retro.&lt;br /&gt;5. Try adding a belt.&lt;br /&gt;6. Wear a v-necked shirt!&lt;br /&gt;7. Don’t forget your own personal style.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;photo credits:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;style.com&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;nymag.com&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;community.livejournal.com/ohnotheydidnt&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;mischances.com&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;my.opera.com/mystyle/blog&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;fashionising.com&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;stylebakery.com&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32905020-6324458600073900969?l=sophies-style.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sophies-style.blogspot.com/feeds/6324458600073900969/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=32905020&amp;postID=6324458600073900969&amp;isPopup=true' title='24 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32905020/posts/default/6324458600073900969'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32905020/posts/default/6324458600073900969'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sophies-style.blogspot.com/2007/10/high-waisted-how-to.html' title='high waisted how-to'/><author><name>-S</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12472964118816070234</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09947640396286308449'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VpxdoNSPju8/RyEt8uOyIeI/AAAAAAAADCo/2zeF41fCt5g/s72-c/denimdiapersmischa.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>24</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32905020.post-1707831810031528198</id><published>2007-10-22T09:29:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2007-10-22T09:43:43.465-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sunglasses'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='celebrity style'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tsubi'/><title type='text'>I.want.these.sunglasses.</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Although 99% of the time I dislike Gwen Stefani, 1% of the time, she gets something right.
