Let’s start with denim. These are the most worn jeans in my closet – totally worth the splurge, especially when you can get them on sale.

MOTHER The Dazzler in Riding The Cliffside are my go-to slim straight ankle jeans in a versatile mid-indigo denim wash. As with all MOTHER denim, they’re soft and stretchy and mold to your body in the best possible way, but they don’t bag out or lose their shape. Size up if in between.

I also noticed The Tomcat in a similar wash to the pair I have. These are a little wider and shorter than The Dazzler.

MOTHER The Insiders in Dancing On Coals are a crop bootcut with a moderately high rise and a frayed step hem. They have distressing at the knees and on the rear pockets, for a lived-in laidback vibe.

These are TTS, or you can size down if in between. And if you don’t like all the distressing, they also come in a cleaner medium indigo wash called Girl Crush.

MOTHER The Insider in Fairest Of Them All is the same step hem frayed hem crop bootcut style, in a clean white wash.

I love these for casual summer looks, and they look great with sneakers and flat sandals because of the cropped length. You might also like these in the inky black wash they call Not Guilty.

MOTHER The Hustler in Au Revoir are an ankle-length flare in a really nice light blue wash with fading on the thighs. They have a slightly higher rise and longer inseam than the Insiders above, so they’re ideal for heels and booties.

With these jeans, you’ll probably want to size down. Also, this RAILS sweater is part of the sale, and Nordstrom is price matching!

(A similar denim option in the sale is the PAIGE Claudine in Swap Meet. I have a pair of the Paige Claudine in black, and they’re great jeans as well.)

MOTHER Hustler in Fairest Of Them All is the same ankle-length flare in a clean white wash. With these, I would recommend sizing up if in between.

The Hustler is also on sale in Not Guilty (an inky black wash) and Home Movies (nice for a darker wash.)

MOTHER The Weekender in A Groovy Kind Of Love are a similar wash to the ones I have (which is called Wet My Plants – no, that is not a typo!)

These are my favorite bootcut jeans. I also have the Fog (pictured below.) They have a 31″ inseam and a 10″ rise, so perfect with a heel! Also, the RAILS Charli stripe button-up I’m wearing here is also included in the Saks sale.

MOTHER The Weekender in Fog is the same bootcut style in a shade of beige they’re calling Fog, and the RAILS Ellis button-up I’m wearing here is also included in the Saks sale, plus Nordstrom is price matching. (Mine is the Indigo.)

The Weekender is also available in Fairest Of Them All, although sizes are selling out quickly.

MOTHER The Roller High Waist Wide Leg Jeans in Let’s Trip are sold out at Saks, BUT I did find them for $180 at Mother.com. (Original retail is $258.)

These are such a fun way to participate in the current trend of wider silhouettes. They’re still fitted at the hip and into the thigh so they read more like a really wide flare. I finally wore them out and about last week, and I got several compliments. You’ll want to size down in these; I have the 28.

MOTHER The Rambler in Fairest Of Them All is a wide straight-leg jean in a fresh ankle length (the inseam is 28″). I’ll have more on these in this week’s try-on haul, but I quickly grabbed a picture for this post. I take a 28 in these, and they also come in a blue denim wash called Bucket List.

There are more MOTHER jeans in the Saks sale, but those are the ones that jumped out of me.

I also noticed the PAIGE Anessa that I just started wearing is included. These are really nice for a crop wide leg style, and they’re TTS, or size down if in between.

jeans (28 but prefer 29) // shirt (S) // jacket (S) // sandals (8)

SIZING NOTES: I tried both and kept the 28, but I think I should have probably gone with the 29. These are snug around the waistband, which is where I carry extra weight, and PAIGE jeans don’t stretch out much. They’re very soft and comfortable, though. Just be sure to get your best size.

And my PAIGE Jolie slim cargo pants are in this sale too! Definitely size down one in these.

Okay, moving away from denim…

The RAILS Ellis I showed above in Indigo comes in lots of colors. I’m wearing Malibu Pink here. This shirt is so luxe and soft, really nice quality, and a classic style you can wear for years. Also, I just noticed that Nordstrom is price matching!

And again, these MOTHER The Roller are on sale at Mother.com. You’ll want to size down in these; I have the 28.

And the RAILS Charli stripe button-up I featured in this post is included, too, as is the AGOLDE Parker Long Short with Cuff in a slightly different wash.

shirt (S) // tank // similar shorts // slides (8) // earrings 

In fact, all the AGOLDE Parker Shorts are included! These are very popular, but also on the shorter side, I realize.

This is the original AGOLE Parker Vintage Cutoff Shorts in Swapmeet, and they also have the longer (4″) version. And my Splendid Kate v-neck tee is included, as well! I’ve had this tee for at least 5 years, and it’s still one of my favorites. Super soft and comfortable.

FIT TIPS: Size up in the tee, but size down in the shorts.

There are a few sizes left in my Splendid Joella sleeveless shift dress too! It’s TTS; I have the small.

Phew! I think that hits the highlights. Let me know if you have any questions about fit and sizing, and I’m happy to help! If in doubt, order both and return the one that doesn’t work.
