I came across a great blog post at grasping for objectivity and not only was it funny, it was eye-opening! Essentially, Rachel went on a quest to try on numerous brands and styles of jeans and her husband photographed her from behind to show what a difference a good cut, fit and pocket placement actually makes. Could Gap jeans almost be mom jeans? How about Old Navy? Hmm... maybe they are...
I know I'd rather have a perky bum than a wide or droopy looking one. Needless to say, it prompted me to immediately go try on all of my jeans and take a better look. Hmm... maybe I'll go jeans shopping this weekend! Check out her post and see all of her examples here.

Interesting post. I shall have a look at her post. I HATE jean shopping with a passion.Sinead x
ReplyDeleteOh good god! Im back after reading the post. She is one talented lady. A degree in denim. Maybe there is hope for my bum after all!!!! ;-) Sinead x
ReplyDeletegood luck shopping!! oh the pain...xo
ReplyDeleteOh no! Too funny. I would never have thought of this. I'm happy if I can find a pair that looks good from the front.
ReplyDeleteI really hate shopping for jeans...I usually buy for comfort. Last pair from Ann Taylor loft. I'm not the size I'd like to be so no matter what jean I wear it's offensive! Great post though.
ReplyDeleteNote to self** Throw out all Gap and Old Navy jeans! I will stick to the more designer kind! I don't care how much it costs me... I will not have a saggy butt!!
ReplyDeleteThat's fantastic! I need to go jean shopping, stat. ;)
ReplyDeleteLol! I just came back from reading her post - omg too funny!
ReplyDeleteI never wear Gap stuff (not really a fan of their style) but I have worn Old Navy jeans before - better go take a "butt" shot and make sure they pass the Mom Jean test! ;-)
Funny! I read that post too - I lost 10 pounds this summer so I needed new jeans. I ended up getting some from Express because of that post. They are great.
