I was flipping through US Weekly the other day and found myself staring at a frightening photo. Mischa Barton seems to think she's wandered upon a new and unique style -- although moms everywhere used to call the look, simply, "pants."
That's right, mom pants have returned. Big, roomy, high-waisted, 9-inch zipper-sporting mom pants. First Scarlett Johansson. Now Mischa Barton and Jessica Simpson. They're everywhere. It won't be long before your very own daughter begs for a pair of her own. ("Look, honey, I pulled these out of the closet bought them at Saks for you today!")
It wasn't that long ago that Saturday Night Live debuted a new line of clothing -- "Mom Jeans." Does it really only take a year or two for fashion to go from laughing stock to hot?
And if so, where can I pick up a pair? Mother's Day is right around the corner, and nothing spells appreciation better than m-o-m-p-a-n-t-s.
