Do you care at all what your kids think? And how they may get teased by other kids for what their mother wears or (more aptly) doesnt wear?
So far, the way I dress has not been an issue for my kids. It's not like I dress like a prostitute. I just don't dress as conservatively as some people seem to think I should. But I would not change how I dress even for my children.

I would change for my kids, they are my number on priority in life.
yeah, the yoga pants, ugh. My biggest peeve is not being clean. People going out in public with dirty clothes, gross flip flops, kids in dirty clothes, diapers. I mean, yeah, if you're a construction worker who just ran into the store for a sandwich you can't help that, but the pajama pants looking like you just rolled out of bed, ugh.
flip flops are a pet peeve of mine but it's so common I just try and ignore it. the pajama pants, I see that mostly with teen girls, I guess it's ok, any older than that then it's ridiculous.

Wow. This may be the most self-centered comment I've ever seen. Not many women will place dressing like a sl ut above their own children. It's kind of counter instinctive. Still, I'll give you this: at least you are honest.
I'm pretty sure some of the other moms judge me when I drop off or pick up my kids from school. I pretty much break all of the supposed fashion rules set by society for a 38 year old mom of 2. I don't believe in "dressing my age". I wear whatever I want from short shorts and skirts to revealing sweaters.
I couldn't care less what others think about how I dress. I work out everyday, eat clean and have a nice figure. I refuse to cover up to appease society's ideas of what I should and should not wear.q
Middle aged Mother desperately clinging on to youth. Dressing cheaply is not making you looking younger, it's making you look like you dress cheap.
I don't see it that way. Of course I love my children, but I don't live my entire life for them. I dressed fun and sexy before I became a mom and see no reason why I should change that. I don't wear see through clothing or anything that shows things that should not be seen in public...LOL. I'm appropriate in terms of covering up...I just don't abide by the more conventional rules for middle aged women.
But compared to how some of the other moms dress....I think they would consider my attire to be on the trendy and more "fun" side vs.conservative and frumpy.Besides, my kids have told me that they are proud that I don't look like some of the other moms. Evidently it's not an issue for them.

I most certainly do not dress cheap. And my youthful look has less to do with my clothing and more to do with how I take care of my body, skin and hair.
I just rebel against the thinking that a woman above a certain age needs to stop dressing how she wants because she is getting older.

Makes sense. I know what part of Colorado you live in now.
It's ok to dress "fun and sexy" at times -- but wearing "short shorts and skirts to revealing sweaters" when you accompany your kids to school is, in my opinion, inappropriate.
