Don't you just hate when you see a mom looking like a slut?
I was in another post and it got me thinking. [No, the title wasn't included in the other post and there wasn't a debate.] But, do you feel, as a mother, you have to dress appropriately just because you are a mom? Do you keep up with fashion trends? How does your age factor into this?
EDIT--I just thought I'd make it clear that I'm not talking about just dressing like a slut. Dressing like a slut isn't good [IMO] whether you're a mom or not. The question is more about people wearing certain things because they are a mom. Are we not 'allowed' to wear fashionable things? Are we not allowed to wear things we like because other women our age aren't wearing them?
ANOTHER EDIT---This isn't about other people [the title was there for a catch]. I'm talking about YOU. Do YOU feel YOU have to dress differently now that YOU're a mom? Do YOU feel YOU have to dress differently because YOU are 25, 30, 40? And, how did YOU decide that?
I have no money to keep up with any trend. I wear the same stuff I did years ago... but it isn't "slutty."
for practical reasons, i keep the ho-ness down! when chasing a toddler, you cant get far in heels and a mini skirt/a**-tight jeans. i dunno why some moms do it, but it does seem tacky. like u are trying to pick up guys with your kid right there.
i hate that shit so much. i just saw it today. seriously, cover your nasty ass thong up. we can see your c-section scar.
I don't think just because someone is a mother they have to dress different then what they did before
i rarely go shopping for clothes and i only buy whats on sale. I dont follow the treads i like to be comfy, jeans and cute shirts. i mostly try to dress around my age (21) without looking like im in college (lol). i just wish i knew how the heck to do my hair LOL
I dress sexy for dh all the time. When I am out with the kids I want stuff I can bend in and move around. I dont show thongs though, and I keep it classy, sexy but I think a mother should be able to dress sexy.

LOL fashion trends r one thing slutty dressing is another LMAO
I think I dress pretty good hey im a new york'er LOL but no im not wearing a short tight mini dress that i have to pull down from the bottom every 2 sec. and up from the top - like Kim from the Real Housewives of Altanta LMAO
