Mom Jeans

Men all over the world are cringing because, thank god, mom jeans are back in style. This week I have REALLY felt like a mom. I feel like I have skated by for the past 16 months relatively unscathed. But this week, sh*t literally hit the fan. BB has had diarrhea for the past 10 days so I have been up to my elbows in that all week. When I used to read blogs about parenting, I read it with such a non-mom lens. I was grossed out and though I would never be able to handle that. But now, from the other side, it is totally different. Although other children’s poop will forever and always be gross, your own child’s is pretty easy to handle. And that is actually the least of your problems, because you feel so bad for your baby and you just want to make it go away. So…enough about that and onto my new obsession, mom jeans.

During weeks like this, I just want to be comfy. But sometimes, putting on a pair of jeans over workout pants makes me feel like more of a functioning adult. So I have been living in my mom jeans. I would like to hug whoever decided to repopularize mom jeans. I used to cringe whenever I tried on jeans without some stretch in them. But now, they’re all I want to wear. Dress them up with heels or down with a (likely stained) t-shirt. THESE jeans are $48 and I have worn nothing but these all week. Did you know pacsun is a thing again? Yep, blew my mind too. But THESE and THESE are one sale for $44 and need to be in my wardrobe. The pockets on THESE are insanely cute. And black mom jeans, I need THESE and THESE. Topshop has some really cute ones too THESE distressed ones and THESE embroidered ones are my favorite. Mamas and non-mamas, happy shopping!
