If you're wondering about the name of this post, Taille Haute is French for high waisted. Not entirely original, but doesn't everything sound much more chic when spoken in French?

I have been wanting a pair of high waisted white wide leg pants for ages now. I used to try them on in practically any store that sold them, until I quickly became discouraged. They were either too short on my legs, too tight on my thighs, not high waisted enough...every female out there knows what I am getting at. I began to think that maybe this was just one look I would not be able to pull off, and with that I gave up.

Then one day, when in Zara of all places, as I stumbled on a pair of high waisted wide leg pants in white, I said what the hell?! I grabbed them, ran to the dressing room, and low and behold they fit! They were the right length, weren't too tight, and fell exactly where I wanted them to on my waist. The fact that I was complimented by the other shoppers as I walked out of the dressing room to get a better look only helped sway me more. I was sold!
