One absolute given in fashion is that when a trend goes out of style, odds are, it will come back eventually and that is what mom jeans did exactly.

This has proven true in past seasons with the resurrection of all-things-’90s. From tiny sunglasses to glossy lips, the decade has had me so happy because my mom was intuitive enough to save us a wardrobe full of her favorite clothes for us to break out and tell everyone “it’s vintage!”

One of the biggest ‘90s resurgences? Mom jean. Our skinny jeans are having (some temporary) time out because mom – or mum – jeans are having a much-needed moment in our wardrobes. I was lucky enough to thrift a good deal on vintage extra baggy mom jeans in the famous Toi markets.

Mom jeans are high-waisted, often lightly colored women’s jeans with a tapered leg, these jeans are super flattering and still come in your classic black, blue and ripped styles.  

Mom jeans with a rise that hit well above the belly button make our bottom appear longer and flatter than it otherwise might. And it gives me the illusion that I look taller.

Here’s all the inspiration you need to rock them:

The baggy fit of the jeans already evokes a menswear-feel, so make the style look totally intentional with other masculine pieces like a button-up. Add a feminine touch with a kimono. 

There’s something très chic about the juxtaposition of baggy, distressed jeans and sleek black booties. Showing just a little bit of ankle is unexpected, and the combo of high waist jeans and heeled booties make legs look never-ending (perfect for the vertically-challenged!)

A white button-up and kimono can make for a sophisticated casual Friday workwear look, but when paired with mom jeans, give a lax vibe that can be your new everyday uniform.

If anything makes or breaks an outfit is the final touches a.k.a accessorizing.

Just when you thought we were running out of trends to revive from the ’90s, another nostalgic piece has slowly been making its comeback: teeny, tiny sunglasses. Tiny sunglasses are a fashion cue ripped from The Matrix.

The micro frames reigned as the ultimate cool-girl statement in the ’90s and early 2000s. The whole point is that they are very small and narrow — so small that they should just cover the tiniest sliver of your face.

Give your skinny jeans a break and try a straight-legged, looser fit mom jean.

I personally really loved how this whole look came about. Any thoughts?

Stay Stylish,
Kadenyi.

Since I began my blogging venture back in 2012, I’ve taken quite a few breaks, some of those breaks lasting just a few weeks, while some a few months.

This time though,  a few months went by, then six months and now I have done less than 10 posts in the last two years! How did that even happen?!

One of the biggest barriers of me getting back into blogging was that I became uninspired —I started to look at it as business rather than my little creative outlet to just explore my writing and photography, something needed to change.

This break has been great for me as I got to seat back and do “normal” things without always having a camera infront of me and thus reminding myself of my writing and photography loves making me ready to go back into blogging.

I am going to be honest, between now and the last time I blogged, a lot of interests have changed a bit but arent humans supposed to? I cant wait to share all these new topics and ideas I have but dont fret, I will still be writing about all my core topics on here with a bit of a twist.

I started by changing out the look (template) from my old blog. What are your thoughts on this new template?

I plan to go back to the dreamer university girl who would jump headfirst into creating fantastic posts. I have made peace with the reason for my break. No more doubting myself, the less time I have between thinking of the idea and implementing it, the better.

“The longer you take a break, the harder it is to come back,”

The reason for using these images was to mark them as my “Day one” Images as I get back into fitness. As you can see I have gained quite a bit of weight. Though cliche, I want to start 2020 with a progressive step forward integrating a couple of days of flexibility workouts in order to increase blood flow and circulation while assisting my range of motion and joint mobility. Once my body has properly readjusted to the new demands that will be placed on it.  I will work back into my goal weight which is 55kgs.

I also intend on doing a lot of small, everyday healthy changes that are going to help me eat more nutritiously, have more energy and just feel a whole lot healthier, because that’s what it’s all about. I hope to share as much as I can with you throughout this journey. I hope you stay for the ride.

MY DREAM

You might giggle while you read this. However, my ultimate dream is to live by this blog, travel and take photos. I hope to never let my beloved blog wither in the shadows of neglect.

Let’s see how this goes 🙂

Stay stylish,
Kadenyi.
