While our distaste for the very high-waisted pant is well known, I must say that I rather like a high-waisted skirt. Because you avoid the wonky crotchular/belly issues that come with high-waisted pants, it’s more flattering, AND you get to maintain that retro sense of “Doris, have you seen where I put my snood? I simply can’t go to the USO without it! The sailors are waiting!” So it’s too bad that Rose Bryne has decided to get her wartime bride on so drably and crankily:

Rose, a little hint from me to you: this would have been so much cuter with a shirt that didn’t look as though you’d brined it like a turkey. The color of the skirt is off-kilter enough — in a good way –that it doesn’t need the addition of a shirt that you appear to have just used as a coffee filter. Also, try a wee little smile. Just one. Even half of one. Show one little tooth. You’ll feel so much better.
