Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

I want my “mom jeans” back!

January 14, 2012

Yeah, that’s me all right – longing for the return of “mom jeans”. For those of you who are too young to remember back in the late 80’s and 90’s, these were jeans that actually sat at or slightly above your waistline and, in my opinion, fit SO much better than some of these modern cut jeans. In my opinion they were REAL jeans, not these denim pant things that they are calling jeans. It is so hard to find real denim anymore and I miss that too.

Lee had the best – absolutely. The fit was good and you didn’t have to worry about them showing stuff off when you bent down or over or even just sat in a freakin’ chair! They also had these little elastic thingees on the sides – not elastic all the way around, just a little bit – I think they were the then so called relaxed fit. I really liked those.

Then there was Chic jeans and they had the best fit if you were thinner. I wore those in my early 20’s and I loved them! I don’t even know if Chic jeans even exists anymore. They actually had petite and short fits which was great because I’m only 5’2″!

Now don’t get me wrong, I like the idea of the modern fit jeans, except that a lot of them don’t fit well and I feel like I”m always pulling them up. They are also made with spandex which is nice to a point, but they get stretched out kind of quickly. Maybe I am wearing the wrong size or something, I don’t know. For a woman with a larger body, finding clothes that fit is a trauma anyway. But I do know that I never had to worry about showing off my booty in those old mom jeans.

I need jeans and maybe I’ll just go look at Goodwill and find a good pair of those old mom jeans and wear them with pride! I can hear Stacy and Clinton screaming now…
