Fashion don’ts: ‘Mom jeans’ poem

By Sara The Bargain Queen 21 September 2008 7 Comments

Mom jeans: high waist, stone wash, too short...

Does somebody you love still wear these? Do them a favor today and let them know:

I love you, but your jeans must go
They’re so short, they let their odd socks show

The waist is high, in the old-style manner
The thighs reminiscent of MC Hammer

The acid wash is carbon dated (said Buffy)
Did you know they make you look quite stuffy?

Time moves on and seasons change
But sometimes people stay just the same

Winter gives way to spring and moth, butterfly
Likewise clothing changes as time goes by

When ‘Mom jeans’ went out, boot cuts came in
And we all rejoiced as they made us look thin

Now most have moved on the skinny jean cut
Which you must buy to move out of your rut

You might be afraid but it’s really quite simple
Buying jeans hurts less than squeezing a pimple

Please go to a store, most stock jeans today
Try on a few, take the nicest and pay

Please don’t cling to the past for one more day
We promise you’ll like living in this decade

PS: I need to send this to a couple of people I love, too ;)

    Love it! I remember the last pair of high-waisted tapered leg jeans I bought. It was back in 1999, I’d just lost a lot of weight, and I wanted some jeans that I never could have fit into before. I think I wore them twice before I realized how awfully dated they were.

    For jeans you can wear on any date
    Look for ones with legs that are straight

    They might cost more, be harder to find,
    But they will give you peace of mind
