As a mom, do you have a typical go-to outfit you
immediately resort to for pretty much every casual
occasion? My guess is that you do -- and odds are
good that your look of choice on any given day is
the same as the uniform most other moms in America
are wearing at this very moment (not me, I swear).
Let me guess -- your favorite everyday style
consists of jeans and a T-shirt, right?
Jennifer Lopez may be an A-list celebrity and a total
fashion icon, but even she likes to throw on a comfy
pair of jeans once in a while. Of course, she is
J. Lo, so she puts a fun twist on the standard look
when she goes casual. Check out how she spiced things
up at Carnival in Rio wearing this red hot pair of
jeans!
I think it's safe to assume that Jen couldn't pull off
a bad look if she tried, and this outfit was a total win
for sure. The jeans hug her curves in all the right places,
and the sparkly red top that she paired them with only makes
the whole get-up even more flirty and fabulous. I'd even go
so far as to say these clothes make her look a lot younger
than she is. I mean, most women in their early 40s who are
moms of twins aren't seen running around town in fitted
red pants.
Lopez's look puts a fresh spin on the traditional "mom
uniform," and the good news is that it's pretty easy for
us non-celeb moms to re-create something similar at home.
Gap sells a pair of legging-style red jeans that retail
for $69.95. And if red isn't your thing, they come in
lots of other fun colors too, like pink, blue, and
purple.
Even if you don't have a sparkly sequined top in your
closet, you can pull out the old stand-by black tee
(c'mon, you know you have about 10), throw it on
with brightly hued jeans, and you've got a totally
updated look that isn't completely out of your
comfort zone. After all, a little J. Lo goes a long
way!
