The Hard, Dirty Truth
Wednesday, July 30, 2008
The fact is, you're a mom.
You don't want to look like a mom.
Why?
Because moms wear scary jeans. They have sweaters that co-ordinate with the holidays. Sometimes they wear sweat pants. And not cute Juicy Couture sweatpants, but scary paint-splashed, elastic ankle band, man sweatpants.
And why do moms dress so atrociously? Easy. Because it's comfortable. Because when you're chasing down kids all day, you don't want to worry if you have a visible panty line. You can't carry a small, chic designer purse, and instead are resigned to carrying a veritable trunk of gear that must come everywhere. You have zero -ZERO- time to get ready in the mornings.
But never fear, moms of the world. Unfrumpiness CAN be yours. You don't have to look like a bad SNL skit, I promise!

Oh my goodness, this is so clever! I saw your blog from BBC and love it. I am hoping for more tips. I am going to go get lip gloss today, I really need it!

Jaestar- I am a fan. :)
I'm so glad you're doing this blog, Jae! I'm excited to get style tips from you. You always look super cute whenever I see you. I'll be checking this regularly.
YAY! Save me please, I am begging you. I'm only 25! I was heavy and thought I could hide it by dressing this way but now I am normal weight (between a size 6 and 8 and 5'5, not that it matters but I am just proud to be down from a 14!) I want to look my age. I'm proud to be a mom but really don't want that to be the first thing people notice. Oh, and I am cheap. I have a really hard time spending over $12 on a shirt or over $20 on a pair of pants.
