Outfit Post: Mom Jean...Shorts

So I have been facing this conundrum-- the whole "mom jeans" shorts thing has become very on trend. And while, in general, I think it is very hard to pull off (the right fit is KEY), I think it is even more questionable when you are actually a mom.  But I do love the high waist look (nice for us short-legged gals) and wanted to see if I could make it work for me.  I found these Levi's shorts at the thrift store and they fit me perfectly.  My one qualm (in regards to all high waisted pants/shorts) is the butt pockets sitting really high on the tush.  So, in full disclosure, I wore a long jacket, open, when I actually left the house in these shorts.  ***also, I do not believe in moms--especially those who are approaching age 30-- showing their bellies in public, other than when swimming! my shorts just happened to need pulled up a tad and I didn't realize it till we were almost done taking these photos!  So please excuse that little bit of skin in the first few pictures. 



shorts:  vintage Levis, sweater:  (thrifted) J.Crew, boots: vintage, necklace:  birthday gift from my parents, socks: Target



I feel a little guilty for having both this and my last outfit post be denim shorts + tights + sweater...but that just happens to be my "thing" right now.  Guess I'm not quite ready to let go of summer, and this is my way of hanging on!  We do have a couple pair of high rise cut-offs in the SHOP right now if you want to try your hand at this look!

  1. OK, fine, I will try this high-waisted shorts with tights and a sweater and boots thing and let you know how it goes. You just look too cute NOT to try it. ;)

  2. I've also been wanting to try these for one main reason, high waisted anything hides the mom tummy/muffin top. I'm all for that. I think you look darling, beautiful and you could rock a brown paper bag! ;) xoxo

  3. Loving this shorts-tights-boots combo...I bought some cute corduroy shorts for my daughter so I could do this look on her (after seeing it on a photo in H&M), and do you know I never thought about doing it for myself? But it looks fantastic on you, so I'm gonna have to do it too!
