The high waist



I can't express enough how much I adore high waist pants, skirts and shorts ect.!  I think I shared this before but I'll say it again, a high rise is so much more flattering than a low rise.  Plus you don't have to worry about exposing the plumber view on the backside for all the world to see when wearing a high rise lol!  Anyway this is what I'm wearing:
Boat neck top - Nordstrom
Calvin Klein denim vest - Avalon Exchange Pgh
Antique watch chain - Ebay score
Vintage belt - thrifty score
Vintage high rise denim pants - Etsy
Vintage bangles
Tory Burch wedge sandals
Ring - Avalon Exchange Pgh

Spotlight // Wolf&Willow Style profile



 Stumbling across this amazing young talent has been refreshing and inspiring so naturally I wanted to give Miss Jana of the Wolf&Willow blog a spotlight!

My name is Jana, and I am currently studying fashion merchandising and product development at FSU.

How do you describe your personal style?
My personal style is earthy and comfortable, with a slight edge thrown in the   mix. I love wearing pieces that flow and move with the body.

Where do you find/pull inspiration from?
I find a lot of inspiration in nature. Whenever I get bursts of creativity or visual thoughts, I always seem to be someplace outdoors. Today, my friends and I were out in the woods and all I wanted to do was throw paint on a canvas.

Name one fashion accessory you cann't live without?
One fashion accessory I can't live without would have to be hats. I love them!
 
I never break this fashion rule........
I say break the rules. Things could get interesting:)

Your next must have purchase?
 new bathing-suits!
 
Most underrated item in women'swear?
Ugg boots. People hate on them, but I am so down for some Uggs in the winter time. My toes appreciate them very much!

For all the fashionistas, provide one piece of invaluable fashion advice.
Take risks. Try on pieces that you could never imagine wearing together, and sometimes you might be surprised:)

**Be sure to stop by her blog and show some luv, she's new to the blogging community <3
