You look like somebody's mom.

Do you have one singular look that you rock whether you're going to a Parent-Teacher meeting or a night with the girls? Or do you have your "mom" look and your "you" look?
When it comes to "mom-style", I think I've seen it all:  from the frumpy, ill-fitting bag lady look, to the velvet track suit with stripper heels & fake boobs, to the nasty stained sweat pants & un-brushed hair.
I know I tend toward a sexier look in my day to day life. I admit, I like me some painted on jeans and low-cut T-shirts. The good Lord did not give me a ghetto booty & nice boobage so I could hide it in baggy pants and a hoodie, haha.

I used to have this idea that I should just look the way I want to look and people could just deal with it and if they didn't like it, they could take a walk.
But, that look is not really appropriate for family time, or volunteering at the school carnival, is it?
what do you mean, I don't look like a responsible adult?
The world, I have discovered, is all sorts of judgey.
You could be the best mom on planet earth but if you look like you raided a gothic Playboy bunny's closet, people are gonna think you're, well......a scandalous mess.
Not only is the world judgey, but apparently it runs on perception, too, not reality.
this look says "hello, I am someone's Mother" lol
So, over the years I've had to tone it down and adopt a more conservative age-appropriate look while trying not to look like somebody's granny. When I've got my "mom" hat on, I want to cover up but not look frumpy.
You already know I like to be sexy, but I guess sometimes I just have to settle for "cute".
Which is better than slutty or bag ladyish, right?

What does your "mom" wardrobe look like?
