PSA: mom jeans
August 27, 2014
… minus the mom jeans part.
But seriously, all ye of postpartum shape or anyone who would like to present the illusion of trim and toned to the outside world.
Pick yourself up a pair or two of these (at $25 bucks a pop, plus 30% online today, why not?) and cruise your way into fall looking like you worked out occasionally this summer.
You’re welcome in advance.
(Trust me, your husbands will thank you.)

Here’s some in vivo evidence of the fit and stretch that will rock your world.
Srsly, they feel like yoga pants that hug you back, are appropriate for public use, and button right smack dab over your deflated belly button. Perfection.

Ooo… seriously tempted, but then I have to have the size debate. I’m mostly one size, but drifting just a little down towards another. Would you say they fit to where you’d want to size up a little or down a little?
Jenny
I would order the exact size you are, they seem to fit very true to size but they’re definitely stretchy tight, does that make sense?

I have a similar issue and got some just the other day. After roughly 5 trips to the dressing room, I would suggest going with the snugger size. They will stretch a bit- even after a few minutes in the dressing room. I almost always do ON jeans in person because I find that size/fit varies by style and even wash. It’s not crazy variation but enough that trying them on is worth it.

Nice! To old navy I go!

But, but….Jenny, you’re the one who introduced me to Rachel @ Grasping for Objectivity and she says Old Navy sells mom jeans! 😉
Tamara
Oh if only I knew what size I will be in after the baby comes….
Caitlin
Looking good, mama!
Now the question is (coming from someone who doesn’t wash their jeans everyday), do they completely stretch out and get all saggy on day two?

i’m curious about this too. i have a pair of old navy jeans from a couple years ago that sag/stretch out hideously. but if they don’t these are just what i need. my lone pair of skinnies have no stretch and while i like the look of them, they are not super comfy for all day wear. like, sometimes my calves start to hurt. so…maybe i just have fat calves.

I have a field report from my best friend who has worn the black pair daily (she claims) for 6 months and has just begun to notice knee blow out. I figure for 25 bucks, 6 months is a respectable run. It’s like very affordable clothing rental…

Can you believe there was a time when we actually claimed to like low rise jeans?????
Kris
You sucked me in. I ordered a pair.

You are so stinkin cute, Jenny!!!
Ellen Willson
I want the shirt too!
Jenny
I’m obsessed with this shirt. It’s so flattering and I never would have pulled it off the rack except a few weeks ago I marched myself down to Nordstrom Rack and said, self, you are not buying any more disposable clothing from Target. And this was one of the happy purchases from that fatal day. It’s a brand I’ve never heard of, all there is is an “H” on the tag. Sorry!

Ooooooh very nice! Will be adding those to my cart of “fall must haves.” The shirt is super cute too!
Annery
Those look great!

I bought myself a pair of these and had to come back and say THANK YOU. They are magic pants. Seriously. After trying them on I debated internally whether I should buy out the entire stock at our local Old Navy so I could have them forever…but then I refrained. Anyways – thank you!
