A fifth said they consider their moms fashionable.
"One in four believes her mother wears clothes that are simply too revealing, and more than two thirds claim never to want to dress like them."
Those are some pretty big sums - over two thirds don't want to dress anything like their moms?? Then again, it isn't hard to understand when so many women well past the intended age for certain trends cling to them like... guns and religion. [hee hee]
But.. dressing drab isn't necessarily the prescription. You could look just as embarassing in a modest frock as you could in a mini and peep-toe platforms.
Do you think your daughter would be happy to claim you in public? What's the best balance for fashionable mamas?
Let us be so, so happy she does not have children to embarass!
Goodness, I hope not!
ReplyDeleteI am making a consorted effort to get "chicer" as I get "older"
This is so funny cause I want to post on the opposite- modest women that just look ridiculous in long skirts and oversized oxford blouses. That bugs me - A-LOT.
I finally had to have an intervention with my mom. She's always worked out and maintained a beautiful figure and then would wear, well, MOM clothes. (You know the extra-high waisted jeans and shorts.) Luckily she responded well, and I'm happy to say she dresses perfectly for her age and body type. She's a total hottie! (And I find myself stealing her clothes more often than not.)
ReplyDeleteHey, Haughty, good for your mom! I've had to have the same talk with mine (actually an effort from my 2 sisters and I) about her "style." Now she's proud of coming up with cute outfits and buying accessories!
ReplyDeleteTrue about the overdressing... I might steal your post idea...
I'm afraid to ask ...
