The Look

"You look like a mom."  my husband smiled at me.
I did a once over of myself.  My mom uniform of jeans and a t-shirt (not mom jeans though, I haven't fallen that far yet).  My jeans had a touch of baby spit up on the knee.  My t-shirt had slight mucus stains from where my 3 year old wiped his nose while giving me a hug.  My hair was thrown up into its usual easy ponytail.  No jewelry save my rings that I never take off.  I couldn't remember if I'd taken the time to put makeup on or not, but my sunglasses hid my eyes anyway.  My feet were in my comfy Preevos.  The look of a mom?  Yep, I guess I have it.

  2. I like to rock a good mix of looking like a casual mum and also having a little style too! I'm with you, just say no to the 'mom jean'.

  3. Beck - Stylehog had the best description I've heard:
    By now, everyone is aware of "mom" jeans symptom. For those of you less familiar, we will break it down for you. "Mom" jeans are unflattering, tapered, high-waisted, pleated creations whose sole purpose is to add comfort to a woman's wardrobe, while simultaneously destroying her appearance. Absolutely nobody looks good in "mom" jeans, and with so many figure-flattering, equally-as-comfortable and budget-friendly options available, "mom" jeans are a thing of the past.

  4. Oh my. Thanks Kristen. I looked them up. Those are ugly. I'm glad I just have the baby food, ponytail, jeans that fit me, and t-shirt style. :)

  7. That is so awesome and so true. We have a comic in the works on a similar topic actually. I love the newer Moms compared to the Moms of a toddler where they are still kind of trying to keep up their appearance and clean up more, especially out at restaurants, where I am just glad when I get to eat sitting down and my son is not climbing on the tables.
