Both of these bottoms are new in my wardrobe.

Both bought in stores and not online. 

The stripes are a complete wildcard, and worn twice this week! LOVE! The red was on my shopping list, and needs a hack so I can wear them with flats. Love them too!

1. The gold and cream  stripes pants are described as "high rise". They are NOT. They are mid rise, on me and look mid rise in person. They are low rise on the model, (who has a very long rise so that makes sense).

2. The red pants are described as "low-rise" and "low-slung" by Anthropolgie and Neiman Marcus. They are NOT. They are high rise on the model, and on me - and I don't see low slung. They are also the colour of the stock photo of the Nordstrom Find, who does not describe their rise.

Also, after shopping all week in stores with clients - mid rises are definitely coming through, and are more available. Along with lots of boho everything, blues + whites, earth tones, sets (co-ords), oversized knits, and cropped fitted tops.

The rise dilemma continues!
