On Saturday The Teen and I attended the Mom Mixer Spring into Summer Event hosted by +Colleen Padilla of ClassyMommy and +whitney wingerd of Mommies With Style at the Hyatt at the Bellevue.
It was fun hanging with The Teen and seeing some bloggers in real life. I clowned, ran my mouth (of course!) and got some ideas for updating my style.
Lee Jeans was one of the more popular tables. When I think of Lee Jeans I imagine a rugged cowboy riding his horse hard into a sunset. The ladies from Lees showed me otherwise. I was fitted for a pair of jeans that are stylish and modern, accentuating my figure rather than my flaws. I’m not a jeans wearer, but the pair I was given seem too nice for something to throw on for down time.
Sara, one of the two designers, picked out two pairs of jeans she felt would flatter my figure (an aside I am pleased that my size was available. The average mom is not a size 0, 1 or 2!). The first pair I tried fit perfectly, but since this has never been the case before doubt crept in and I tried on the second pair. Those SCREAMED Mom Jeans! Brooke, the other designer on hand, firmly informed me that those jeans were not right and told me that the first pair should be my choice.

Brooke pointed out features: how nice my rear looked, the lack of a pucker in the back, and that these fit really well.
She then gave me a few suggestions about wearing them. She suggested either a flat shoe or wedge to accentuate the cut. In the winter I can pair then with a blazer and boots.
I love the way I look in these!
Some other suggestions for updating your jeans style:
Pop your outfit with neon
Try rolling the jeans for a retro look
Add a soft pastel
I’m sensing a trend…
I think I’ll do afternoon sessions from now on! I got to talk to more people and really get a chance to chat with the people at the tables. This was a great event! I have a few styles to update my look!
Thanks! My daughter even gave me a compliment. I thought I was hearing things.
Check you out! I love my new Lee Jeans too:)
I am obsessed with my new colored denim from Lee. Stylish, bold and comfy! Thanks so much for joining us. xoxo
