Paper or Plastic

This post is inspired by a pair of pants I just bought. That's right, sometimes I do buy the stuff I post. Today is one of those days. You are about to see a fantastic pair of pink pants. Not just pink pants. These pants are perfect for work or play because you can add heels or sandals with this paper bag waistline.

Asos, Wide Leg Pants with Paper Bag Waist, $45

I mean hello. Punchy color with a high waist. 

Dynamite, Cindy High Rise Cigarette Linen Pant, $49

Breezy and casual.  A must have in white for summer.

Free People, White Like This Paper Bag Pant, $98

A great straight leg option that comes in three other colors.

Macy's, Rachel Roy Tie Dyed Paper Bag Pants, $89

I love the white and blue pattern because it goes with just about anything.

The paper bag waist line is great for a more casual look. Look for it in skirts, pants, or shorts.

Brown Bag It

Happy Columbus Day lovebugs.  Most of Washington has off today but alas, I'm at work.  I hope you're sleeping in right now and have big plans to do absolutely nothing.

Today I thought we would look at a trend that I'm really loving right now: paper bag waist.  It's a great way to add interest to the mid section of an outfit and hide anything you want to in that area.

Asos, Vila mini skirt with gathered frilled waist, $21

There are so many details going on with this skirt but they all work together beautifully: color, slanted pocket, waist, mini length.

Bloomingdales, Aqua square dot paper bag short, $46

You know I'm a sucker for dots.  I'd pair these with some tights for a Friday night out!

Topshop, Paperbag waist belted skirt, $70

I love this skirt. So beautiful and you can wear it all year round.

J Crew, Heather lace mini, $50

Beautiful lace in a neutral gray. This would be really special with tights.

What do you think of the paper bag style waist? I think it's something a little different then the plain waistline.
