Indeed,&nbsp;what with&nbsp;the number of negative reactions to the 'mom' jeans thread,&nbsp;and now one or two posters here saying that yours are acceptable because they don't look like 'mom' jeans, I am almost tempted to put on the 'mom' jeans outfit I mentioned on Angie's thread, take a photo and&nbsp;post my first ever WIW, mom-jeans-high-waisted-waistband revealed in all its glory! (Never let it be said that I don't fully commit to a look!)</p> <p>As Angie so rightly says, have fun with fashion!</p> <p>Sarah<br />P.S. When I looked again at the photos Angie posted I could see why some of those examples might attract negative reactions, but I don't think it is necessarily the case that mom jeans need have a strange, ill-fitting&nbsp;(semi-dropped) crotch look. Mine aren't like that, and clearly neither are Denise's. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---keeping-the-mom-jeans#post-1225252 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 02:17:03 +0000 Suz 1225252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have worked your styling magic.

Tuck a printed turtleneck into that high waistband, unroll them to a too short length and throw on some white sneakers and then we'll be talking Mom jeans! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---keeping-the-mom-jeans#post-1224669 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 14:22:17 +0000 Peri 1224669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What I like best is that 135 negative responses made you want to do it! I would have been too insecure and decided everyone else was right. I admire your confidence!</p> <p>Plus, I'm not sure what mom jeans even means, but these look good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---keeping-the-mom-jeans#post-1224667 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 14:21:16 +0000 karymk 1224667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You've got the part of the jean that makes them "mom" all covered up, the waistband.&nbsp; They look fine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---keeping-the-mom-jeans#post-1224658 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 14:08:11 +0000 neonginger 1224658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You wear them well.

They wont be the same as the old original Mum jeans due to the fabric, for starters. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---keeping-the-mom-jeans#post-1224598 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 12:39:52 +0000 Elizabeth P 1224598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"135 mostly negative reactions to Angie's blog post about Mom jeans made me want to keep these"&nbsp; LOL!!!</p> <p>These don't look mom-jeanish on you, at all.&nbsp; I took a quick look back at the post you linked to, and I have to say when they are styled so that the high rise shows more, I don't care for the look.&nbsp; But with the sweater styled as above, it just looks... great!&nbsp; Esp with the boots and rolled hem.</p> <p>Good decision </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---keeping-the-mom-jeans#post-1224591 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 12:28:08 +0000 Janet 1224591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I really don't like mom jeans (it's pretty much a visceral reaction for me), but these don't look like mom jeans the way you've styled them. The covered waistband, the rolled hem, and the fit make them look current and JFE. Good job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---keeping-the-mom-jeans#post-1224567 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 11:33:21 +0000 Jaime 1224567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well whatever you call the jeans you look terrific in this outfit.

Ha! I feel that way sometimes too.<br />You look wonderful in them. Clearly you can pull this off with style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---keeping-the-mom-jeans#post-1224540 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 10:44:46 +0000 leopardluxe 1224540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these are more than JFE. I think they look fab on you. So continue being a contrarian (yay for contrarians!) and rock those mom jeans! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---keeping-the-mom-jeans#post-1224534 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 10:36:47 +0000 Joyce B 1224534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them on you.

YLF no matter how they are called:-)). And, thank you&nbsp; for pointing out at least another signifficant difference between BF's and MJ other than the obvious&nbsp;high waist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---keeping-the-mom-jeans#post-1224486 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 06:48:11 +0000 Caro in Oz 1224486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I missed the original thread &amp; didn't "see" that these are mom jeans:) Oh well.<br />I do think YLF in them.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---keeping-the-mom-jeans#post-1224480 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 06:23:48 +0000 Neel 1224480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't call them mom jeans ...

I love them on you. I think going for the smaller size was wise as the these have a nice leg line. Too much fabric at the thigh can add that 'daggy' flavour. Personally I am loving some of the 'Mom Jeans" I have seen around the blogosphere I just don't think I can carry them off - I am still very wedded to my skinny jeans YLF. Killer booties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---keeping-the-mom-jeans#post-1224470 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 06:11:26 +0000 Adelfa 1224470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For a fashion victim you look pretty great all the time:-) Thanks for the tip about the pockets or I might not have noticed! In Culver City on Saturday I saw acid wash mom jean short shorts worn with a tucked in black cami to showcase all the mom jean glory. Maybe I'm headed for fashion victimization because I thought she looked nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---keeping-the-mom-jeans#post-1224465 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 06:06:00 +0000 CocoLion 1224465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>135 mostly negative reactions to Angie's blog post about Mom jeans made me want to keep these. &nbsp;And yes I have been accused of being a contrarian.</p> <p>I kept the smaller of the two sizes. &nbsp;I felt the smaller size had just that much &nbsp;less volume in the thigh to make me happy. &nbsp;I kept the outfit very simple. &nbsp;Oh and&nbsp;I realized there is a major difference between these and boyfriends when worn untucked&nbsp;-- the boyfriends show pockets, these do not. &nbsp;What do you think? &nbsp;JFE or fashion victim?</p> <p>My entire Mom jean journey&nbsp;can be followed&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---the-mom-jeans">here</a>.</p> <p>Thanks for looking and commenting!</p> <div></div><div></div><div><br /></div></p>
