Singer Abby’s Fave Fit: The Mom Straight Jean

About me: “I’m a singer and a songwriter from Nashville, TN. I’ve been singing forever (total theater kid), but songwriting is something I discovered as my biggest passion only in the last 4 or 5 years, and I am constantly making up stories in my head.”

Why I love this fit: “Don’t get me wrong, I love a crazy statement fit, but this is just perfect for everyday running errands or going to a writing session… These jeans hug all the right places without feeling pinchy or restricting. They’re totally my new favorite pair.”

Jeans are my go-to for: “If I am ever ‘on the go’ I usually throw on a pair of jeans. Especially for things like recording or writing with other artists, it’s nice to look put together and still feel confident and comfortable.”

People would be surprised to learn: “Something that usually surprises people when they meet me is that I am super introverted! I love my friends (I actually live with six of them) but I definitely need time to recharge for an hour a day at the least.”

The proudest moment of my career (so far): “Something I was so incredibly proud of actually happened not so long ago. My first single ever reached over 100,000 streams on all platforms within a week!!!! I just wanted to cry and dance and dance whilst crying and I don’t think I’ll ever forget that moment.”
