Hi hi - it was supposed to rain today but it didn't until 6 for about 10 min..so we had some beach time, and I hit the outlets during naptime. I was hoping to get j some new sneakers but the Nike outlet had a line outside and UA didn't have anything I wanted. I did find some jorts and tops at j.crew and had a good laugh trying on jeans at AE - I do not understand mom jeans, at all! I posted an outtake on IG, I'm trying to think of something less flattering. And then got n some swimsuits at gap bc she needs sunshirts for camp and a jean jacket. And then it didn't rain at night as expected, so I took the kids to mini golf, which was fun until N was sobbing at the end when we had to turn in her ball..being 4 is hard! Lol at the mom jeans. I have a couple pair and love them. I think all of mine are ripped though... you know to look cool. Lol. I have been seeing a lot of this straight leg jeans trend on a lot of the influencers. To me they look weird... but I tried on a pair at Abercrombie- ripped of course- and I LOVE. When I went back to the rack to see what kind of sale they were on, they weren’t. {sad trombone} I noped right out of the store and will wait for them to be on sale. I was in A&F for the first time in decades and it still smells the same! I have heard their jeans are good again, but also refused to even bother trying on the full priced ones and the sale rack had slim pickings. I should try on some to figure out what I like and then keep an eye on sales.

I usually don't like Old Navy jeans but tried on the straight leg recently because they were on sale and I loved them! I also have a pair from AE, since they are my go to for skinny jeans, and I like the ON better. May be worth a shot for you to try them.

I should try on some to figure out what I like and then keep an eye on sales. Yes! I usually don’t have one close to me, so I’ve bought a few sale pairs online and hoped they work and I’ve been 3/3 so far, but two of the pairs were just a skinny Jean. I’m glad I have one within driving distance now so I can try on and watch for a sale. I also didn’t realize their jeans could get up to $100 a pair. The ones I’ve bought I think I got for $35-$40.

I don't understand the mom jean trend either and I don't think I'm cool enough to pull off ripped jeans.

I currently don’t own a pair of pants/jeans. They never feel right and I always hate the way I look in them. I’m jealous of those cool moms who wear young fun clothes.
I’m that weird combo between hippy, retro and office clothes... aka al over the place. I would love someone to take me shopping and dress me.

::checks flights to Houston and the Netherlands::
I am certainly not fashion forward, but I love playing up a good pair of jeans.

I’m just not cool enough. My pair of mom jeans look pretty cute but only because I have no ass and they give me one.
