. CLASSICS: BRETON & MOM .
Sometimes it makes me laugh how you can fall in love with an item or a look, yet your nearest and dearest just don’t agree. My MOM jeans are such item. I love them (as does my sister who actually has a pair) but both Jase and my dad haven’t been conservative in holding back on their opinion and feedback (makes my ass look huge apparently). But that’s why I love fashion and clothes, to me it doesn’t matter what others think, to me fashion and dressing is for me and my own pleasure and tastes.

So regardless of what men seem to think of MOM jeans, I for one am a big fan. Not least because they can be so easily styled for whatever occasion required (as I mentioned in my post on Friday ‘My Bank Holiday Style‘), and whilst I love them with a pair of heeled sandals and fitted / tucked in tee, I also think they make the perfect weekend attire too … teamed with some well worn converse, a classic breton top (this one is a little Joules number) and a chic jacket for good measure (I couldn’t resist adding my Reiss Orchid jacket to this look, I still love it immensely now & can’t wait for Spring to finally settle so I can get more wear out of it).
Do you find that trends and styles you love, your boyfriend or other people simply just don’t get it? Woe is us!
I love your jeans and how you’ve styled them! I keep toying with the idea of venturing away from skinny jeans and trying the ‘Mom jeans.’
I can totally relate to loving certain looks and my boyfriend hating them! So much so I felt compelled to write an entire post about it…’Clothes I love that my boyfriend hates’ http://www.notyourninetofive.blogspot.co.uk x x
I love how effortlessly cool this outfit is! I’ve never been brave enough to try mom jeans, i dont know if i could pull them off, but this post is definitely tempting me! Great photos x
I love Breton stripes! Like you said it’s such an enduring staple. I love the way you’ve styled it and made it look so ‘now’ yet so timeless — classic chic! x

Love this outfit! I have yet to try mom jeans; they’re sometimes a little bit tricky to wear depending on your figure. But it suits you really well :) xx
