I saw a lady at school today who was wearing classic Mom Jeans.
I like her.
And I like most women who wear "Mom Jeans." They are some of the most selfless, generous people I know.
So what's the problem, you ask? The problem is anyone who makes fun of Mom Jeans. The women who wear them usually have a bit (or a lot) of a pooch from having children, who might not care about fashion, and/or who might not be able to afford anything else.
And that's okay!
We all come in different shapes and sizes, and we all prioritize things differently.
And really, what alternative does this woman have? To let the pooch hang out the top of her pants? Is that really better?
So stop judging Mom Jeans, or you'll have to answer to me.

Amen. Especially when one alternative is looking at "fashionable" moms whose pants sink halfway down their bottoms when they crouch down to help their kids. Personally witnessed this the other day. Do I seriously have to avert my kids' eyes on the way to kindergarten??! No underwear to soften the blow, either. YIKES! Give me mom jeans any day.
So, I know you hate the idea of hating on mom jeans, but I think this is a great post about finding jeans that look non-mom-like: http://www.graspingforobjectivity.com/2009/03/mom-jeans-and-dreaded-long-butt.html
AND they even address the problem that Kristen mentioned.
Haha, all of your posts make me laugh. My sister finally had a talk with my mom about mom jeans about two years ago. They said she's not allowed to wear them anymore, and now she wears cool jeans and she doesn't have a pooch that has to hang over the cool jeans. She just looks like a normal person now. Before we could conquer that though, my other sister and I had to first talk our oldest sister out of wearing mom jeans. Now we all wear cool jeans and it's great. They really aren't more expensive either. Some people might just need another girl in their life to help them see the light.
