I saw these high-waisted pants first on Inez at Style Chic 360.  I've since seen them on another blogger, but I can't remember which.  I'm obsessed with high-waisted anything, but they have to be just right to work on my body.  This is one of the reasons I love style blogs - I can get a better idea on what will work for my body type.  Since I believe Inez and I have a similar body shape, I thought these would work well for me, but didn't know what size to get.  Luckily I stumbled upon a couple pairs in the clearance section at JCP last weekend, in both sizes I would have tried.  Even luckier was the $4.74 price tag!
