#5. KUT from the Kloth Selena Low Rise Baggy Straight Leg Jeans (30% off)
These are not as low rise or as baggy as they sound; they’re actually a really good pair of relaxed straight leg jeans in a versatile faded black wash. The rise is 10”, and they have a really nice fit. More sizes available (and also on sale) at KUT from the Kloth. Fit tip: Size down if in between. I took the 6.

#3. AG Brinley Mid Rise Straight Leg Jeans (30% off)
Relaxed-fit straight jeans made from super-soft stretch denim in a well-worn, vintage-inspired wash. Slightly distressed edges add that lived-in look. (Currently on sale at AG Jeans, Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s.) Fit tip: Size down if in between; I take the 29.

also wearing: Caslon Raglan Sleeve Wool & Cashmere Sweater (S) – on sale // VEJA Campo Sneaker (39)

#2. Quince Bella Stretch Relaxed Straight Jeans
The viral $50 jeans everyone’s talking about — available in five washes and four inseam lengths! They have a ’90s-inspired vintage look with just the right amount of stretch, a high-rise waist, and a relaxed leg for an easy, laid-back vibe. They run true to size.

also wearing: Z Supply Perci Sweater Top (S) – on sale // Dolce Vita Vaydin Bootie (8.5) – on sale

#1. Striped Cushioned 3pk Mid Crew Socks
These soft, cushy socks from Target are so comfortable, and I love the stripes for a subtle pop of pattern. They’re perfect for wearing with sneakers and clogs this winter.

also wearing: Birkenstock Boston Rivets Clogs (39) – on sale!

  1. Thank you for your work Jolynne. You help narrow down the choices in a sea of clothing out there, especially denim. I’m wondering how the inseam length on the Mother Lil Kick It High Waist Straight Leg pair is working for you as far as sneakers. If you wear your Handball Spezials do they get caught up on the back of the sneaker at all when you walk or when you sit and get back up? I’m trying to avoid that issue and haven’t had any luck yet with a full length straight style jean. They always end up being just a tad bit too long and they get caught, and so I end up having to return. And do recommended sticking with your regular Mother size when ordering petite or should we go up one size?

    1. I totally get what you mean, and no, they do not get caught up on the back of the sneaker. I wore them all day Wed with my adidas Spezial when I was cooking and prepping Thanksgiving dishes, and they seemed to stay put. I would not size up. I actually think I might want to try the 29P.

  2. Thanks for another look at that Caslon sweater!–just ordered it in the grey–also used alittle gift card I had towards it.

  3. So many great pieces lately and gift ideas too. What is the sizing of the new Mother Lil rise jeans that you love? Did you order petite or regular? I am usually one size bigger than you but about the same height. Am afraid at 5’ 4.5” these jeans may be a a tad too long in regular sizing. Thank you!

  4. I got the brown Target cardigan (and a pair of brown suede boots!) and really like it! I wore it for Thanksgiving. ❤️

  5. Love the Target striped socks and I wear mine a lot. Wore them yesterday with my taupe clogs. They are such good quality and so soft. I honestly haven’t looked at my computer or phone the whole holiday weekend. Was with my kids and grands and it was great to get away from it all but now feel I’m catching up on the post. LOL

  6. Hi Jo-lynne, I bought the Caslon striped sweater. I noticed it says dry clean only. Do you dry clean yours or have you had luck hand washing? Thx Kara
