YouTube and "Mom Jeans"

[BarTopDancer]

Thank you so much MousePod! I know my mom will crack up at this.

While I'm happy that I'll be able to find a pair of jeans that won't require a super-long shirt or exposing my undies I really hope to never see this again... unless I venture into my moms closet.

Before waist lines dropped I lived in mens jeans. I felt like I was suffocating in those high waisted jeans.

I bought my mom a pair of boot cut stretch jeans that are age appropriate (no super low waist) and totally stylish at Kohls. She loves them and loves how the lower waist and boot cut cuffs make her look 30lbs lighter than her "mom jeans".

Tapered ankles and pleated waists don't look good on anyone.
