I Wanted To Talk About A&F’s Dad Jeans…But Then These Photos Captured A Moment of Vulnerability
Meredith Plunkett -
"Not the blog aesthetic, but I had to send you these photos because they are FIRE," my photographer wrote to me before sending over the latest gallery from our shoot.
She was right. The pictures were something special. But, there was one picture in particular (edited in black and white) where I'm sitting in my Abercrombie & Fitch Dad Jeans...
This pink puffer jacket — The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket in 'faded rose,' to be specific — was one of my dreary February impulse purchases. I'm usually pretty good at curbing most impulse buys (thanks to this job, I'm getting better at knowing which pieces will really stick, so to speak) but February is The Month of...
There's an outfit I've been wearing on repeat for the last several months. Most of it has been hidden away under layers of sweaters, hats, mittens and scarves, but I'm now realizing that if I strip it down to its basic components...this outfit makes transitioning to spring pretty darn easy.

"What's the difference between boyfriend jeans and dad jeans?" I wondered to myself, as I browsed Abercrombie & Fitch's latest denim offerings.

A growing fixation on getting the lowest interest rate?
Bad jokes?

In my mind, there are two kinds of après ski: the kind that follows naturally after a long day of skiing (usually done in ski gear), and the kind you take a shower for. In either case, when it comes to après ski...I'm in.
Dressing for an après ski situation that occurs après shower, however, is tricky. It's cold, it's...
We've been cropping our jeans for so long, you guys....SO LONG. I am, after years of mom jeans and cropped skinnies, a fearless, scissor-wielding maniac, and there's no hem I can't shorten in seconds. (Hello, ankles!! Welcome to the world!)
But fashion is a fickle friend, so after years and years (and years) of cropping my denim, I'm...
It seems like every year I search for the best combat boots. Last year, I landed on the AllSaints Franka boot. I adore them and get a lot of wear out of them, but I still had a big Doc Martens-shaped hole left in my wardrobe.
I've been a fan of Docs since I was in high school and...
Why yes, I am still talking about Dad Jeans. And while my Levi's 501s are still my undisputed favorites in the genre, I was intrigued enough by the idea of full-length Dad Jeans...that I picked up this pair, too.
If you want to see all of the gory details of the try-on and decision process, I wrote an article about...
2020 is doing something to our collective fashion consciousness. Scotti is back in leggings and UGG boots with a vengeance I both admire, and, after hearing her rave about the warmth and comfort, frankly, would like to emulate. (Chestnut, maybe?)
And if I look back over most of 2020, there's really only one pair of jeans I've reached for over...
I guess the logical progression after we've covered mom jeans is now...dad jeans. I don't name these things, y'all, I just style them up. But, as silly as the name seems to me, I adore this fresh fit.

What are dad jeans you ask? Well, they're a wider straight-leg cut, relaxed in the booty, and are...
