Style Diary — Mom Jeans & Olive Pumps

Happy Fri-Yay!!! I'm working tonight and most of tomorrow, but am still so excited that the weekend is here! I'm thinking of trying to do something fun and fall-ish with Ross Sunday night, like maybe a corn maze or something? Do you guys have any suggestions?

So I was a bit hesitant to post this outfit today, but here goes! This is my take on styling 'mom jeans'. For those of you not sure what 'mom jeans' are (or should I say, 'were'), they were jeans that had a high waist, were made of a thicker, all cotton material in a lighter blue wash, and were a bit looser in fit. They were meant to cover flaws on & flatter the bodies of middle aged women (read: had a few kids), but ended up being rather unflattering. They were quite popular in the 90s. They developed quite a bad rap after the 90s, and for years were a fashion faux-pas. Lately though, they've been making quite a comeback! They've been given a bit of a facelift, often with some distressed detailing (like the ones I'm wearing have), and a better/more flattering fit. Style icons such as Kendall Jenner, Aimee Song, & more, are wearing them, and if you google 'mom jeans', you'll find dozens of fashion-forward brands, like TopShop, carrying them.

I played it a bit safe and wore my mom jeans with a cream-colored flowy, seamed, roll-up sleeve blouse and some olive pumps. Next time I might try something a bit more fun though, like tucking my shirt in with a cool belt, or even wearing a crop top! What do you think of the trend? Have you tried mom jeans? If so, how do you like them and style them? I'd love to hear your thoughts!
