Say it aint so! High waisted fashion is making a come back to the horror of moms and daughters alike. Although it will be a relief to see a few less butt-cracks, this is still a fashion atrocity in the making... and one that's been made before (for those of us who remember the eighties!)
While some ladies can see this possibly working for a skirt, most girls cannot see themselves adopting this trend on a full-time basis. More than likely it will catch on with a few seeking to hide their paunch, but most of us are ready for this trend to pass before it starts.
