29 December 2011

I thought I was the daughter.

I bought these high wasted flare jeans at H&M when Jessica visited in November.  I thought they looked like old school Mudd jeans (aka unflattering) but she assured me they didn't. I trusted her because she is a trillion times more fashionable than I can ever hope to be. 

 Maybe I shouldn't have trusted her judgment because when I walked out wearing them this morning Simon gave me one look and said, 
"oh, so mom jeans are fashionable now?"
and did a lot of staring and laughing and more staring and even hiked his pants up to his ribcage to try and emulate my look. 

His jabs I could handle but when my mom walked out and took a gander and (seriously) said, 
"oh, are those Not Your Daughter's Jeans?"
I knew Jessica had led me astray.

    Hellllo, those are super-cute! I have a couple pair of high-waisteds and I loves them to death. You can rock anything you skinny minny. I even have a board I started on Pintrest to collect things to fight the muffin top. High-waisted is so in right now...especially for good-looking twenty-somethings such as ourselves...:)

    Aww, Simon and your mom were hard on you. I think the jeans are super cute. If it makes you feel any better, when my girls were in the NICU (so less that 6 weeks after they were born), my husband saw the top of my jeans after I had been pumping breastmilk and told me they looked like mom jeans. Because being post-partum, pumping, and having babies in the NICU aren't enough reasons to feel crummy, I needed that, too.

    I might be rather unfashionable but I LOVE those pants. I'm wearing a very similar pair today, in fact.

    NO WAY...they are super cute. We're doing a big push on flare denim right now at levi's ;)

    Danny always thinks my most trendy jeans are "mom jeans"...unless it's super skinny or a "legging" style he says, "oh, i see you're wearing your mom jeans today!"

    So glad you re-introduced me to NYDJ. I think I will be purchasing a pair in the near future now. The video testimonials on that site really convinced me that the goal is to be a hot mom and NYDJ are the way to do it. Maybe your mom was giving you a complement. That's what I say.

    Boo! Husbands should never be allowed to provide fashion commentary. Mine still thinks belts at the waist are "so 80s". I adore the jeans and agree with Jessica.

    Also the other day when I wore an old pair of low-rise jeans at Costco and had to choose between bending down to pick Piper's coat up off the floor or revealing the majority of my youknowwhat to my fellow shoppers, I wished I was wearing my higher-waisted jeans. Now I can never go back to that Costco, ever again.

    haha i like that we BOTH posted photos of ourselves in 'new looks' today and asked what people thought. I totally JUST saw this.

    i agree with sarah - never ask husbands about new trends. they dont know.

    So, I unwittingly bought some of the same not too long ago. After a moment of shame at the check out counter when I learned their true nature, I've never looked back. They are so comfortable and look even better on you.

    I guess you could say they're not your daughter's jeans in that they don't have snaps along the inseam...

    I love them! I wish I had them. I might be visiting H&M soon for a pair of my own. And technically, you are a mom, and those are your jeans, so they are ONE MOM'S jeans… I think we should start turning this "mom jean" thing the other way, since so many moms (such as yourself) wear such cool jeans!

    ps: they remind me of these: http://www.downrightred.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/DariaWerbowyVogue2010May6.jpg which are anything but these so-called "mom jeans!"

    You look super cute in those, but thanks to my thoughtless clicking on the NYDJ link provided, I am now being targeting with disturbing high-waisted advertisements promising a tight tushie after 40. That website was horrrrrifying.

    These jeans looks great on you!
    I'm chuckling over Simon's reaction! My husband would be the complete opposite. He's pretty skeptical about a lot of today's trends but whenever I mention high-waisted pants he's all for them. I think they would give me horrible mom-butt because I have such a big behind but he thinks that sounds great. ha!
