I hate winters. I just do. I know one can wear overcoats, trench coats, stockings, boots and so many other clothes all at once but I still hate them. For winters are not summers. For winters are not always sunny. Now add long work hours, apartment shifting, marriages etc. to the winter season and your blog goes for a toss!

Now that the summers are here (yay!!), its high waist pants after the hiatus. Actually, I would say its high waist pants all the time. I for one can wear them day after day after day. There are just so many ways you can wear them. With crop tops, tops tucked in, loose shirts, fitted shirts, long or short blazer (I prefer long), flats, moccasins, heels, brogues. Plus they make your legs look longer :D

I recently wore my royal blue high waist pants to a lunch with my friends.

Incidentally, Keira Knightley who I have always found very stylish for some reason seems to be a big fan of high waist pants too! Her hip high waist pants in Begin Again (a good watch especially for someone who loves music and is trying to figure out what to do in life), grey pants with brogues and red high waist shorts are definitely effortlessly comfortable and stylish.

I also love what Blake Lively wears in one of the Paris episodes of Gossip girl.

History: This outfit is a result of my years and years of pining! Pining for what you may ask? Well, I have been  pining for boots since like forever, then for high waist pants which reach my ankle (I finally had to get them stitched) and recently the cropped top which I am always too shy to wear for they make me look taller than I already am.

Why I love this outfit?: It has tall pants and a cropped top and who doesn't love something contrasting? It's airy so perfect for a summer day. AND IT HAS BOOTS!!

Budget: Though I got these pants stitched and the sling is like a zillion years old (2 years in real world, zillion in a girl's) but the boots sure burnt a hole in my pocket! But they are boots and as Monika says, "See Chandler? I'm getting a lot of use out of them already. They're very practical. See, you can wear them with dresses, with skirts, with pants..."
