Thanks to Talbots for dressing my mom and me!

As I am sure many of you can relate, my family is the most important thing to me. I absolutely LOVE my family! When it comes to my parents, they really are my best friends. They are always there for me, always supporting me and caring for me. Not to mention, they are so much fun!

Obviously, I am biased, but my friends even say that my parents are more fun than our group of friends! They have so many friends and are always up for a good time. Their social calendars are always packed and I love that I am always included. We have a blast. 

The fact that I can quite literally include my family on Summer Wind is so special. To be able to share them with you means a lot! In the past 10 years that I have been blogging, these posts that I have created with my family are always my favorites and I know, years from now, I will look back on these moments fondly. Some of the photos from today's post with my mom are going into frames, that is for sure! 

So when Talbots asked if my mom and I wanted to be a part of their fall denim campaign, I excitedly said yes. I called my mom and she was thrilled, too. My dad is always the trooper behind the lens! Like I said, it's a family affair (we missed Callie)! 

I've mentioned this many times here on Summer Wind, but the women in my family (Grammie, Aunt, Mom, Callie, etc.) are die-hard Talbots ladies. In high school, I worked at Talbots Kids in our Galleria! 

On top of just loving the Talbots brand, they also happen to make my favorite denim ever. I've written so many posts raving about this denim and so many of you have gotten them and sung their praises, too. 

The denim sucks you in at all the right places. They are slightly stretchy for optimal comfort, are a perfect length (no hemming needed), and look new after tons of washing and wearing. They're high waisted in a flattering way and the pockets are thoughtfully placed. Not to mention, the white jeans are partially lined in nude (see blog post here) on the interior so they are completely opaque! 

My mom and I are wearing the exact same denim, which I think really shows off that these jeans look great on women of all different ages and bodies. If you didn't know, Talbots is very friendly to all shapes and sizes. They offer petite, plus size, and misses. The jeans are offered in sizes 0-24. They also offer their jeans in 5 different styles, plus a curvy fit, as well as tall/long options. 

Our personal favorite denim fit is the Jegging which is a high-rise, slim/skinny fit jean. It has a bit of stretch, hence the jegging name. I have been wearing this style for several years now. It comes in so many washes. I have the black (so slimming and chic), several denim washes, and their white jeans (which I wear all summer long). 

Sizing

They run pretty true to size. I wear a size 2 and waffle between a size 2 or 4 or 27 in most brands of jeans! Like I said, they have stretch but they don't really stretch out! The best part? They are under $100. I have tried designer jeans double and triple that price and I can truly say that these are the best!

All in all, my mom, dad, and I had such a fun time shooting this! Shooting fall outfits in the heat of the summer can sometimes be gross and sweaty, but we got so lucky with the absolute perfect night. It was like a little taste of early fall and we were cool the entire time. Afterward, we headed to one of our favorite places, The O, in Oakland for the best hot dogs. The O is an iconic Pittsburgh institution so it was fun to cap off the evening with that!
