Mom Jeans

While its literal, pastry counterpart is considered the superior portion of its whole, the "muffin top" has, in recent years, become a negative phenomenon akin to what may have been really flat hair in the 80's and a very tragic no-no.

So, the muff-top is the first thing I consider when trying on a new pair of jeans, and although we are starting to see the light at the end of the low-waisted jeans tunnel, it's still a challenge finding a pair with a substantial rise that doesn' t look a little bit like this:
