I LOVE high waisted anything and since it’s summer, my mind is on high waisted shorts. These shorts are precisely what I am looking for: 70’s retro inspired. Note the lattice criss crossing on the sides, vertical seam panelling and flattering dark denim rinse. Laura got them last year from LF. Alas, they dont have them this year (Yes I immediately checked after the impromptu photo shoot).
Here’s this version from Urban Outfitters but missing that little special something. I bought these recently at American Apparel with side zips, but am after something that has a strong retro feel with cool detailing ie. braid trimming. Any suggestions?

This is the perfect example of not having to shell out $$$ to still look casually put together in the current denim trend. The small leather cross body bag compliments the dress perfectly. The floppy hat partially covering the face is adorable. An oversized wool version in the winter looks equally cool. This version from American Apparel is a good contender.
Anyone else wearing denim in a form other than normal jeans?

Karen,
may i ask where you ordered your studs from again and what size would you recommend if i were to stud my jeans? Thanks!
Frickys says:
I adore the new possibilities this season for wearing denim. Bleached, washed, studded… I’ve just added to my collection a zipper bodycon denim dress and denim corset top.

I haven’t purchased anything denim (other than jeans) yet, but I do have a denim dress I bought last year which I love to death. I’m wondering if this season’s denim is slightly thinner though (like what the girl in the dress is wearing) so it’s more suitable for really hot weather? Great streetstyle shots!
Karen says:
Cupcakes – thanks for the link. I was hoping to find something closer to what Laura had on? Grey Ant cut’s their high waist denim how I like it, but their shorts are over $200 : (
Frickys – I love the bodycon denim dresses tht are floating around AND corset tops. Got any pics of you in yours?
Haute Shopper – its definitely a different denim other than jeans which is good. More options.
Anon – studs n spikes website. They have the ½ inch sizes which I use.

i like what you’re doing here. please tell the photographer he’s doing a great job.
i’m not really a denim person. i kinda prefer to wear them in the form of long skirts and jumpers only.
Karen says:
Hi Tom – I’m the photographer for these weekly profile pics. Thanks : ))
Would love to see the jumper you got.

Hi,
I know this is abit random…but I noticed about a month back you said you purchased the Edelman Harness boots and I was just wondering how they were to walk in? I’ve got my eye on a pair but not sure if I’d be able to walk in them.
Thanks 🙂

Hi Isabella
Actually that fell through. I thought I was getting them. Paid etc. but it didn’t work out : (
However, I do have something up my sleeve so fingers crossed, a pair of them will be mine eventually in a few weeks or so?

can’t wait to see what’s up your sleeves, Karen. good work with the photos.
