Before I get started talking about jeans today, I wanted to tell y’all that I randomly started watching the Aurora Teagarden series on Hallmark this past weekend and I am hooked! I had forgotten how much I loved Candace Cameron Bure, so I’ve tried watching a bunch of the movies in order during either nap time or after Harrison goes to bed–I love them! Funny thing–I cannot watch Dateline or anything similar because it’ll give me nightmares, so this is as close to a murder investigation show as I get……on the Hallmark Channel 🙂 LOL
Okay onto my post for today…
Remember when everyone started talking about how suddenly skinny jeans were no longer considered “cool” anymore?? I for one find that to be annoying that one generation thinks it’s okay to give their opinion about the fashion choices of another generation. I will always wear skinny jeans–I love how they fit my body. Isn’t that all that maters–is that you dress for your body type? YES! So you wear what looks best on your body 🙂
BUT, I was watching Mallory Ervin’s IG stories when she was in Rosemary trying on the latest style of “Mom jeans.” I will be the first to say that this is NOT my style of jean, nor do I think it looks good on me. But I clicked on her link anyway (I’m a sucker for links haha!!) and that started the deep dive of looking at the different types of jeans.
I found a transitional style that I wanted to try out–not quite the Mom-type jean, but looser in the leg.
Here’s what I love about the jeans: they are a lighter wash (and I always go for a darker wash), they fit great through the hips and thighs, they are looser around the ankles, they have a little stretch (but not much), and they are mid-rise. A typical Mom jean has zero stretch, is high rise, and much looser through the leg. I also got the pair with rips in the knees because they are going to be casual for me.
If you’re on the fence about trying the Mom jean trend but want to branch out from your favorite skinny jean, you should try these jeans!! If you’re an Amazon Prime member, you can order through Shopbop and get free Prime shipping–it was nice ordering these and getting them in 2 days 🙂
Denim shopping is one of my least favorite things and I’m glad these worked out for you – they look great!! xo, Biana BlovedBoston
Those look super cute on you. I too tend to buy the darker wash jeans most often too.
Skinny jeans for life – LOL! I still haven’t jumped on the mom jeans trend. I just can’t!
Cute!
Yes. I see a lot lighter wash being worn in SoCal, but if I wear jeans to work(w/ the school shirt on Fridays) I like them to be darker and tailored.
Off topic: you posed abt some golden goose sneakers a while back. I splurged & bought a pair abt two weeks ago. Very pricey but comfortable. I will be wearing them often. Especially when it’s gray & colder in SoCal and I don’t feel like wearing sandals.
