I got rid of my seven jeans because no one really needs to be staring at the 7 on my butt. I donated any shirts with brands written across (I feel silly wearing a PINK sweatshirt that I see young girls wearing when I'm a mom of 2) even though I don't have a problem when other mom's wear them, I just feel like I look young.<br /> I shop mostly at TBD or Savvy at Nordstrom when I can afford to, Gap, the limited and I pick up basics at Target sometimes. I wear a lot of dressy jeans, cardigans and flats too. I would probably dress nicer if I wasn't a SAHM and had to buy nice clothes for work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dress-like-a-mom#post-210089 Tue, 03 Jul 2012 13:08:29 +0000 plaidpants 210089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am definitely feeling like I'm dressed more mom-like lately. I used to wear cute dresses every day to work, but now that I'm nursing when I'm home and pumping in the office, I have to wear separates. And I tend to wear more pants because I'm too lazy to shave my legs. Who am I kidding? I'm too lazy to even take a shower most days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dress-like-a-mom#post-210054 Tue, 03 Jul 2012 12:43:34 +0000 autumnlove 210054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom outfit is yoga pants and tanks and tees. I need to buy new clothes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dress-like-a-mom#post-210033 Tue, 03 Jul 2012 12:29:27 +0000 skibobrown 210033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! I'm also becoming a huge fan of Boden. They have a good mix of stylish mom clothes and professional clothes that i can wear as a professor. Their stuff is expensive, but high quality. I used to love J Crew, but recently their prices have skyrocketed, and the quality has tanked. I literally wear their clothes once and already have holes in them and buttons missing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dress-like-a-mom#post-209957 Tue, 03 Jul 2012 11:32:41 +0000 Mrs.B 209957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes I dress very "mom" like but other times not so much. When DH and I have a date night I always try to look super hot :) and not very mom like. On an everyday basis though I do dress pretty laid back. I'm a SAHM and wear alot of capris and consertaive tops during the day. I recently purged my closet of all things hoochie before I started packing away my non maternity clothes. I had some REALLY short skirts that I just really don't see myself wearing after this LO is born. DH was a little sad to see them go lol. We have a pretty big age difference so after getting married I have really been trying to not dress so "young" which is hard at times since I am only 23. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dress-like-a-mom#post-209814 Tue, 03 Jul 2012 10:04:47 +0000 eeh 209814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was in high school I routinely had friends tell me I dressed like a soccer mom. I think it's because I worked at a bank at had to dress professionally, even as a high schooler. Plus, I never felt comfortable in short shorts, mini skirts, or slinky tops so I always gravitated towards the more "mom" type stuff. I also did my student teaching very young (20) so I had to dress older than my age then too.</p> <p>Now, at 24 I definitely still prefer more "mom" styles. My husband has always worn Hollister cologne so I walked in to buy him more last weekend and decided we are officially to old to even walk in the store, let alone buy anything. At 34 weeks pregnant I got a lot of stares in that store! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dress-like-a-mom#post-209809 Tue, 03 Jul 2012 10:00:22 +0000 anonysquire 209809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think so. I wear a lot of scrubs on days I work, and on my days off I love to wear cute jeans, cardigans, maxi dresses and other stuff. Maybe that is mom stuff lol? I shop at Buckle, Gap, American Eagle, and mostly Nordstroms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dress-like-a-mom#post-209791 Tue, 03 Jul 2012 09:50:27 +0000 cvbee 209791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dress the same way I did before I was a Mom.<br /> This is really my only option, as I cannot afford new clothes. Ha!<br /> And I did already 'tone down' my look in the last 5 years because I<br /> 1) live in a smaller town (bye bye 'downtown' non-commercial fashion looks that no one here would understand)<br /> 2) am a teacher (want to maintain a professional image)<br /> 3) was a babysitter (had to buy shoes I could slip on while carrying baby, bathing suits that the kids couldn't pull down when 'drowning', and bottoms that wouldn't show my derriere while chasing small children. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dress-like-a-mom#post-209781 Tue, 03 Jul 2012 09:46:29 +0000 heffalump 209781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cover up more than I used to. No more short skirts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dress-like-a-mom#post-209539 Tue, 03 Jul 2012 05:05:37 +0000 looch 209539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends...I have some mom clothes that I pull out when I need to get dressed quickly. When you are chasing a toddler, heels, dangling earrings and dry clean only fabrics aren't so practical . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dress-like-a-mom#post-209326 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 19:02:39 +0000 chopsuey 209326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not yet! And I hope I never do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dress-like-a-mom#post-209171 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 16:44:13 +0000 banana 209171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope not! But I definitely am dressing a lot more comfortably, which I guess *could* look more momish. ACK! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dress-like-a-mom#post-209165 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 16:38:46 +0000 DillonLion 209165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: Same here! Luckily high rise pants are in style now. I'd be okay with never wearing low cut jeans again for the rest of my life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dress-like-a-mom#post-209161 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 16:36:57 +0000 Mrs. Bee 209161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i don't go into an office so my day to day style is what you would call bummy. </p> <p>i shop at zara, h&amp;m, gap, anthro, and j crew most often. one thing i have noticed -- my pants are becoming more and more high rise! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dress-like-a-mom#post-209151 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 16:23:37 +0000 Mrs. Pen 209151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jessiejo17: yeah I totally understand, I'm at that stage too. I'm only 22 so I can pass for the younger stuff, but I also have a baby which automatically makes me "older" - so I don't want to look like a teenager anymore. I have had strangers ask me how old I am with a little concern in their voice - I think they worry that I'm a teen with a baby lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dress-like-a-mom#post-209137 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 16:15:06 +0000 LuLu Mom 209137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in a weird in between stage. I still buy my jeans at AE and Buckle, but I have started to wear more staple tops than the fun crazy prints. I think at 27, it's a weird age, because you aren't really a junior anymore but it's hard to shop in the women's section and find cute/young stuff. I wear a lot of solid tops with fun crazy scarfs and jewelry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dress-like-a-mom#post-209094 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 15:46:16 +0000 Running Elley 209094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think my style is pretty mature. My favorite stores are Ann Taylor, LOFT, GAP, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dress-like-a-mom#post-209091 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 15:43:15 +0000 DillonLion 209091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like to look put-together, professional, and mature with my outfits. I don't know if that qualifies as "mom" or not. I like Ann Taylor. A lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dress-like-a-mom#post-209086 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 15:40:39 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 209086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try really had not to frequent the same stores as my junior high students - so I crossed American Eagle off the list a few years ago. I will admit that I like Talbots, which is a total "Mom" store, but I tell myself that my style is just "classic" -- not "mom" -- though others might not agree. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-dress-like-a-mom#post-209083 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 15:33:23 +0000 Mrs. Pen 209083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like there are many different "mom" styles. Some I love, some I hate. I feel I am veering more toward mom style now that I have a baby, and want to look a tad bit older than I am.</p> <p>I love Boden mom style, LOFT, Lilly Pulitzer and J. Crew. I feel a lot of them are more grown-up looks but fashionable too.</p> <p>Only problem is I can't afford half of it lol but it is the look I'm going for. I find myself packing up short shorts, mini skirts, and many other "young" outfits. </p> <p>But I still wear many young things as well, like my jeans- my favorites are MEK, Abercrombie and American Eagle jeans!</p> <p>Do you dress like a mom? </p>
