The Kirsty Files: Mom, You Were Right.

As I am embracing mom jeans to the point I want nothing else, I am feeling a new connection to my mom. She rocked mom jeans in an era that I was convinced low waisted jeans were the end all forever. I can imagine her smiling down with a bit of a "I told you so" smirk.

So when I opened my photos and saw my mom in my photos it was so fitting, and slightly took my breath away. I often can't explain what it is that brings my mom to the top of my thoughts, it's a feeling. A sweet moment filled with aching sadness. I find that I can't stop looking at these photos, searching for more of her.

These photos once again remind me - she's in me. And I am not sure what she would think of my shirt. I can picture her nose scrunched up in disapproval, in a way only a mom can, and in a way a daughter sort of welcomes. Because what's a mother daughter relationship without disagreement on what I'm wearing. And man what I would give to have that moment again.

So mom, you were right about mom jeans. But trust me this shirt is awesome too. And I sure do miss you. SO much.
