Made in America Monday - Acoustic Denim Part 2

Just in case you missed last week's post, you can read all about the fabulous American-made brand Acoustic Denim here.  Today is also the last day to enter my giveaway for a free pair of Acoustic Denim jeans.  Yes, free jeans.  In your size.  What the heck are you waiting for?  You can enter now.  I'll wait right here until you come back...

.....

Back?  Super.

I'm in love my Acoustic Denim.  I've been wearing on and off all week, so I decided to show you another way to style a high waisted skinny jean.  Until I got this pair from Acoustic, I don't think I had worn a pair of pants on my waist since elementary school.  Well, except for that time senior year of high school that I had to dress up like a sailor for Oliver!  (But I also wore painted-on sideburns, so I don't think you can count that as a fashion statement).  Definitely not one of my brightest moments...

What a bunch of whackos!  It's a wonder we all turned out alright... I actually can't believe I just shared these photos.  How about we never talk about this again?  Ok?  Great!

That being said, you can pull off a high waisted jean without a.  looking like a man or b.  getting that lovely mom jean effect.

Here is how I wore mine:  (I even managed to tie in a nautical theme without actually dressing like a sailor...bonus!)

Acoustic Denim jeans, Target blouse and pumps,  Anthropologie belt,
Louis Vuitton bag, Forever 21 earrings, Balla Bling bracelet,
Michael Kors watch, Jewelry by Lindsay bracelet, JCREW bracelet,
Thrifted bracelet, Flea Market Girl necklace via Shop Peppermint,
Hair styled by Allora Salon and Spa - Victor NY

Bernado Faux Leather Jacket
It was 60 degrees in Rochester in January.
Woot.  Woot.

Have I finally convinced you holdouts to enter my giveaway?  Great.  Enter here.  

These puppies could be yours:

How will you wear yours?

Geek or Chic?

I gave high waisted jeans a test run the other night.  It was like 8th grade all over again:  the last time I tucked in a shirt and belted pants that high I was wearing Bongo size 00 extra long.  Ah, those were the days.  Like Justin Timberlake said, "what goes around, goes around, goes around, comes all the way back around" right?

Walmart OP sunglasses, GAP shirt, Signature by Levi (Walmart) jeans,  Bandolino (TJ Maxx) sandals, JCrew belt

True Story:  This car was my high school graduation present.  Then my parents decided it was "more of a Florida car" and took it back.  Nice huh?  Guess I wouldn't have much use for it and its cloth top during Rochester winters though...
I digress.

I know the trend is to wear them a touch higher, but I need to take baby steps.  I've been wearing my jeans on my hips for over a decade now.  These things take time.  Maybe next time I'll do a wider leg.  Like these 7 For All Mankind Georgia Trouser jeans that cost a little more [sarcasm] than my Walmart pair:

Now, I love the nautical stripes on my top, but as for the jeans, I just can't decide, are high waisted jeans geek or chic?
