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?

Don't Hate Cuz Ya Aint (in Florida)

This morning I left the kiddo with grandma and grandpa and went to VIP Nails in Palm Coast for a glorious pedicure.  They need to open a salon in Rochester; they take their time (none of that get in and get out nonsense), have a friendly staff, and quite possibly the best massage chairs ever.  Oh and they only charge $25 for a pedi!!!!  Ah Florida, how I love thee, let me count the ways!  I keep asking myself why I don't live here, but alas that is not the point of today's post.  I want to talk about blue:  the top trending nail color for pedis this spring.  Since I was already wearing a blue dress, I thought what the heck, let's give it a whirl.

That's me wearing a blue maxi dress from Your Best Friend's Closet, thrifted bag,
American Eagle sandals,  Aldo sunglasses, Walmart hoop earrings, and a Movado watch.

Rochester friends, this is called sunshine.

And these are my very blue toes.
OPI Blue My Mind

I'm not sold.  I don't love it; don't hate it.  I'm apathetic.  I do think I would much prefer more of a navy.  Like Eva Mendes here:

Gorgeous!

What do you think?  Is blue polish a do or a don't?  And since VIP Nails is over 1,000 miles from home,  where is the best [read: cleanest] place to get a pedi for $30 or less in Rochester?  Ok...go!
