hi everyone!
so i got an l.l.bean catalog in the mail.
and my question is why would anyone buy these "wide leg" mom jeans!
they have a 12 inch rise! (i think).
they are described as sitting "slightly above the waist"…
if she looks so bad, imagine what we’d look like in these jeans!
geez.
l.l.bean has awesome flannel pjs and great tote bags- there was even one pair of jeans in the catalog that looked almost normal….but these…..oy.
xoxox

I am 56 years old. I would wear these if someone paid me 1/2 millon bucks (cost of house renovation as per fancy architect). On second thought, the house is not that bad…
i dunno jennifer…is misha barton ever wrong?

Ewwww, those are ugly, but that’s the style nowadays. I wouldn’t EVER wear those, though. YUCK!
Highwaisted jeans are supposed to be in… but they are so f’ing unflattering! you inevitably get a flat butt, a bulging belly, and camel toe!
HA HA HA Oh yeah sign me up! Yeah right!
A & J,
Mischa Barton is never wrong! regardless of what the Fug Girls say about some of her outfits. I especially love the little plaid skirt she’s wearing in the Fug Girls entry for September 8. Adorable, no?
I thought high rise, tapered leg were in. I guess mine will have to go to the Sal Val. Sigh…I guess I have to keep up with the times and do some shopping at LLBean.
So last year it was low-riding/crack showing jeans and this year they’ve crept up to the boobies? I think people shouldn’t repeat fashion trends if they did them the first time around. i.e. the 70s.
Jennifer, no matter what, NO feathered wings on the hair – even if Farrah herself brings them back.
Hilarious! Have you seen males walking around in the tappered leg jeans here in NYC- on girls it looks great. On guys because they tend to be skinner- it looks down right gross. It makes me burst out laughing!
jennifer I thought the exact same thing when I got this catalog! What the?!?!
The way her feet are tipping up and the arch in her back is driving me nuts…she looks like she is about to take off!
My sister in law wears pants like that and they look even WORSE in person!!!
It may be better than looking at their muffin top…
Say no to muffin tops!
BAHHHHA , YUCK!
Those are “fantastic” as Martha would say! Effing fantastic is what I say!
She should wear her matching applique vest with those jeans, the one with the cats on it.
i think jenny should get a pair and wear them to work.that way alexis has something to laugh at.lol. how funny would that be..my sister in law has pants like that. the good thing bout them is they draw the attachen away from her face…..lol….
What are these jeans — the NEW Mom Jeans? OIY!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a horror!
I saw these in the catalog and almost peed myself!
You know what…
Some of us out here have a very high waist….so we can’t wear the low rise jeans and look normal.
That being said, I don’t look like a Mom wearing them, but it’s hard to find a high waisted jean to purchase.
By the way…I’m 42 and a lesbian…..and not a scary lesbian…I’m femme.
PLEASE order some of these and wear them to the studio and just act completely normal and see what Alexis does. she’d freak.
Unfortunately, I have to agree with Angela…some of us out here just can NOT wear those low rise jeans & look normal. And then there are those women out there who shouldn’t even think of wearing low rise…you know who you are, “muffin tops”! However, this picture does make the jeans & the look seem really, really horrible.
Have you seen the photo in the rags of Jennifer Lopez in the high waisted jeans? Talk about oy! This looks makes everyone look like they have a booty that goes from waist to knees…not good.
Saw that in the catalog too…so not hot!
I just pursed my lips and threw up a little in my mouth. Truly the most g-d awful jeans I’ve seen in a decade.
There ARE jeans that are in between high waisted and low rise, you know? Just because you can’t wear low rise doesn’t mean you have to choose high waisted ones!!!! Please don’t do it!
Well, I don’t mind them so much except for they are clearly not LONG ENOUGH!! Why would I want to show my ankles???
You could totally hide your Depends under those jeans.
I want some in my size!
Erica is right, there are jeans that are in between.
All the celebs look like total tubbies in their high waisted pants. (except MK and Ashley, those are kind of cute pants)
No one should wear jeans like these, so unflattering!! Why why why!!!!
Even Old Navy has different variations.
Petty, petty, petty. You LI girls need to get a life. Don’t forget – you live in a glass house
ok…i totally lost my erection when I seen those jeans.
I agree with KT. Time to pull out the appliqued vests.
Just all-around bad jeans. I don’t know anyone who would wear these! But you are right, LLBean tote bags are pretty good, and so are their travel items. I’ve always wanted to order the silk DreamSack thingy that you take to hotels so you don’t have to touch the sheets!

I have a pair of jeans like that and so does my husband. What’s wrong with that?
live in boca..reading sun sent. and behold an article on sewing up memories..quilting!anyway her website is http://www.quiltedmemoriesbymsp.com listed her phone as 954 341 2535..maybe shell do it 4 free if you mention her on ur show..3xluvu, wendy
It wasn’t me who posted that comment on June 2nd. My husband and I don’t presently own a pair of mom jeans, and I doubt we ever will in our lifetime. That said, I DO understand the need for companies like L.L. Bean to make them. And I DO understand the need for people like Angela to wear them. 😉
Stacey and Clinton would weep
So, so bad!! Oy is right! I agree with the gals about the in-between jeans. Muffin tops and camel toe are the worst. It’s weird, but whenever I see muffin top or camel toe, I can’t help but stare. I always wonder if they’re clueless or they just don’t give a damn. Muffin top can even make thin people look chubby.
Bipolar, you’re being sarcastic, right?
Now that WAS funny! I didn’t mind THAT.
Those jeans are shiteous!
two words. CAMEL TOE.
