Ah, the never ending search for that perfect pair of jeans. They have to be stylish, comfy and durable, and if they make your husband whistle when you walk by, then that’s good too.
Let’s face it girls, we are not shaped the same way we used to be. After months of maternity wear and sweatpants we all remember the first time we tried on our old favorite pair of jeans. You pulled them up, you zipped and snapped. They finally fit again! But something was wrong. Your soft mommy tummy is now spilling over the top of your trendy low rise jeans. You officially have… a muffin top.
Don’t despair! Put those hipster jeans in the drawer. It’s time for some grown up clothes.
The brand is “Not Your Daughter’s Jeans”. I found mine online at Macy’s. They are the softest jeans I’ve ever owned. They also stretch so well, I can squat down to toddler-eye-level as easily as if I were in my pajamas. And yes, without prompting or ulterior motives, my husband gave me a little whistle as my derrière passed by the first time I wore them. Most importantly, they reach just high enough to hold me in, but stay low enough to keep me out of the Saturday Night Live “Mom Jeans” parody.
The reviews suggested ordering a size smaller than you usually wear. I found this to be true. I hope this helped some of you out there still on the Perfect Pair of Jeans Quest. I’m off to the gym. I still have hope for those hipsters in my drawer.
More Fabulous Mom Pants: The Everyday Pant from Lucy. (The capri rocks too!) These babies are practically stain resistant and wrinkle proof, and they go from the gym to the mall to the grocery store with much more style then those old workout pants you’ve been wearing.
