The Skinny on the Flare Jean

Nothing excites me more in the fashion world than the return of the flare jean! They are so flattering on most body types and they make your legs look a mile long. And lots of them come in a higher rise (like the ones I am wearing here) which is perfect for that mama muffin! (not that any of us have one of those) I’ve heard lots of gals say that they aren’t sure how to wear them. Here are my tips for the perfect, pulled together look.

1) Go for tailored more fitted tops. A classic button down tucked in is always a win-win.
2) A waist length fitted jacket (especially in leather or faux leather for those of us with toddlers) creates an instant pulled together look.
3)I LOVE a pointy toe heel with a flare jean. It immediately elongates the leg line.
4) Stay away from long, flowy tops. It’s too much fabric with the wide leg!

I am wearing the Ginger Jean from Seven for All Mankind and they are amazing!

And the Cold shoulder top  I’m wearing is from one of my favorite local boutiques “Hazel’s Haven (but they are currently sold out) Click on the link to see a similar one!

“Moms don’t have to wear sweatpants!”

The Mod Mama is a fashion/beauty blog for busy moms on the go (or busy ladies who are aren’t moms).  I am a wife and mama to 3 beautiful kiddos and have always had a passion for all things beauty and fashion.  But with the addition of each little one, my “getting ready” window has gotten shorter and shorter (and sometimes even non existent).   My heels have gotten lower, shampoos have become fewer, and lot’s of things have become abbreviated in the past 8 years.  But, I firmly believe that “MOMS DON’T HAVE TO WEAR SWEATPANTS”! We can appear as though we’ve got it together (even if we are faking it) and do it in a minimal amount of time.  People ask me all the time how I manage to do my hair, makeup, AND get dressed everyday with 3 littles.  Well, it’s not easy, and sometimes last night’s eyeliner becomes the next morning’s smoky eye.  But, I am a better wife, mom, and friend when I take some time for myself and feel pulled together.  I want to dress in a way that exudes the strong and confident woman that I am!  And THAT is what this blog is about.  Like the old Loreal commercial used to say “because we are worth it”!

So next time you reach for those sweatpants remember “MOMS DON’T HAVE TO WEAR SWEATPANTS”! And at least trade them in for some cute yoga pants!
