Style file: just say no… to “mom jeans”

We’ve all seen the hilarious portrayal by the SNL ladies of a Mom’s backside squeezed into her favorite high-wasted, tapered-leg, extra wide-pocket “mom jeans”.

Sure, you’re body may have changed shape a little after it ballooned up to tote around that baby basketball for nine months. But no extra tummy flab or slightly droopy bum deserves to be shamed into wearing acid wash, major “don’t” denim like some sort of scarlet letter.

A solid pair (or three or four) of look good, feel good jeans is a must in every woman’s wardrobe. Once you find the right pair, you’ll know what I mean. They somehow manage to lift your butt, trim your thighs, and lengthen your legs, without a scalpel or a week on the cabbage soup diet.

Coming to a major city near you (or me yesterday!) is The Warehouse Sale – a traveling denim sample sale offering designer brands at below wholesale prices.

Be prepared to dig through rack after rack of denim, occasionally wrestling a good pair out of that skinny 21 year old’s hungover hands. But it’s all worth it when you find that perfect pair of Joe’s, Seven’s, or AG’s that say anything but “get your fresh breast milk here”.
