Over the weekend, we got lots accomplished over here. I took advantage of my husband’s willingness to get into the attic and we brought down ALL of the baby stuff that’s been accumulating up there over the last few years, and, while we were at it, might as well bring down the CHRISTMAS bins too!! Yay!! We typically never start decorating until after Thanksgiving, but my son and I are both anxious to start spreading all the holiday love around our home. And I say, if you’re ready, go for it! We’ve only put up the Nativity scene in his room and the sign that counts down to Christmas – officially 37 days now! We almost put up the tree, but ran out of steam on Sunday night. So, any other decorating may just have to wait until after Thanksgiving anyway! But yesterday, I got motivated to get some of our toy shopping done online. Have you started?!
Today, I’m partnering with Nordstrom to share all my favorite JEANS with you- and there are lots of options. Although I enjoy getting all dolled up as much as the next girl, “jeans and a tee” best describes my day-to-day style. Designer jeans have their place in my closet, but I’m no discriminator, and also have stylish, budget-friendly pairs too. You can check out their jeans under $100 here.
This post is a doozy, packed with tons of styles, and I broke it down into:1) Brands I know and love in alphabetical order with some high/low options along the way (including the ones most loved according to the women on Nordstrom reviews);
2) Maternity jeans – because at 24 weeks pregnant now, that’s all I fit into!; and
3) My easy “cuff & tuck” jean roll – perfect for wearing jeans with ankle boots so that a bit of your ankle shows and also great for us shorties, whose jeans are always too long!
I hope it’s helpful, let me know!

AG – ‘The Prima’ Mid Rise Cigarette Jeans – love, love, love these! They are by far my favorite white jeans that I own and happen to be currently price matched- 25% off. And don’t think that white is only for summer; winter white is so chic and classy! I bought these pre-pregnancy when I was in good shape, so I’m wearing size
I took advantage of the Nordstrom tailoring and snipped a tad off the length for a custom length.What makes these jeans so great is that they are thicker than most white jeans and not like a jegging that makes your legs look like sausages, but rather, they are thicker (98% cotton, 2% elastane) so they are more slimming and not sheer.

Off-Shoulder top (on sale)
AG’s comparable ‘The Legging’ Skinny Ankle Jeans (white white) are a more true skinny jean, slimming all the way to the ankle and made with more stretch (61% cotton, 35% polyester, 4% Lycra spandex) if that’s what you’re going for. They’ve gotten great reviews and are currently available in all sizes. Would look awesome with a tall boot, slouchy sweater and necklace (similar)!
I actually liked this cable knit sweater so much, I bought in grey and ‘brown sienna’ – it also comes in burgundy and navy indigo’
For size reference, I’m wearing Small.

I am on the other end of the spectrum when it comes to jeans – they're always too short. I did appreciate you mentioning thicknesses and blends when it comes to the fabric. I'll be on the lookout for that when I finally get my courage together to buy some new jeans! You look fabulous pregnant! 🙂
That would be a problem too! And maybe harder to deal with since you can't hem them longer. But, I'll take some of your height for you! Thank you for the compliment! 16 weeks to go!
