Five Styles of Jeans I Own and Love (as a petite 30 something mom)

I’m a denim girl through and through🙌🏽 I wear jeans most days and I love a good and comfy pair. As a petite 30-something mom, here are 5 different styles that I own and have been wearing a bunch!

5 STYLES OF JEANS I OWN & LOVE:

  1. Quince Bella Stretch Relaxed Straight Jeans-size 24, 28″ inseam (I previously thought these were 26” but they’re actually 28”!)

these are more of a flare leg vs straight leg, in my opinion, but I love how stretchy and comfy they feel on! They also come in lengths so they work for just about everyone (also, I have a whole quince denim try-on coming soon! So stay tuned).

I love wearing these with a sweatshirt, crewneck shirt or cardigan.

2. Free People We The Free Risk Taker Mid-Rise Jeans-size 24 short (short is currently sold out, I think you could cut them since they’re a raw hem anyway)

I bought these last winter and I have to stop myself from wearing them daily. The utility style makes them really fun and the lower rise makes them super comfortable. 

These jeans really go with EVERY type of top—they’re so versatile.

3. Old Navy High-Waisted OG Straight Ankle Jeans-size 0 petite

these are a newer pair and I have been loving them! I don’t normally go for a dark wash, but I like these way more than I thought I would. They have a looser and comfy fit and they also come in  lengths and other washes too. 

These jeans look great with everything but especially cute with tees, flannels, or lighter colored tops.

4. Levi’s Ribcage Wide-Leg Jeans-I cuffed them myself-size 0

I bought these 2 years ago and cuffed them myself because they were WAY too long on me. It was before cuffed jeans were everywhere, but I loved the look (and I’ve gotten lots of mean comments about the look too🤷🏽‍♀️😅). I love wearing this pair with a heeled boots, clog or heels and I think they’re a great “fancier” jean.

I love pairing these wide leg jeans with a button up, oversized sweater, or a tight-fitting long sleeve and neck scarf.

5. Old Navy High-Waisted Barrel Ankle Jeans-0 petite

last but not least—barrel jeans! I was 100% not going to do barrel jeans, but I tried these and I was hooked and now they’re on heavy rotation. I wear them weekly (if not more) because I think the shape is so fun, the loose fit is so comfy, and they’re a fun pair of denim.

I think barrels look great with a tighter fitting top, but I also love the relaxed look of pairing a looser top with these jeans.

What I Wore on our Summer Anniversary Trip to Montreal, Quebec

We had the BEST time celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary in Montreal, Quebec! It was our first time visiting the city of Montreal and we’ll definitely be back (especially since it’s only 2 hours away from where we live!). We squeezed quite a bit into 48 hours (we went Saturday afternoon-Monday afternoon) and I planned my outfits ahead of time, which really helped me stress less and feel good about what I was wearing. All the shoes I wore were SUPER comfy for lots of walking and worked great with my outfits.

Below I’m sharing photos of all the outfits I wore and where I wore them!

10 Outfits for the Fourth of July (Without Buying Anything New)

I love Independence Day—it’s one of my favorite holidays. We all get decked out in red, white, and blue, go to a local parade, then go back to my parents’ house and swim, eat and listen to Toby Keith and patriotic country music all day long. It’s always a fun time!

Here are some outfit ideas I put together using what I already have in my closet. They’re all fairly simple but definitely all outfits I would wear and I’ll probably choose one of them as my actual outfit for the 4th. I’m not much of a blue girl, so denim is usually my go-to for that color!
