Not thinking that I would be bending over to help them, I caught several young and curious pairs of eyes peering down my top.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now this did not stop me from my mutton dressed as lamb style, but I did stop to consider a different outfit next time I went in.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You are right, mother hood is lonely and frumpism can take hold so fast, so easily. I plan to go out kicking and screaming personally.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Trash? I think you misunderstand and am sorry you have taken offense to anything I've written. My point has been that not all moms are talbots wearing chino rockers. Not that being one is awful. I'm sorry if you feel &amp;quot;bashed&amp;quot;.... I happen to write about me, so yes, my blogs have to do with my perspective.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But I also respect a woman's right to choose. And that includes what she wears. &lt;/p&gt;

Open minds. That's what I think. I'm surprised to see you say it because you've trashed un-hip moms so many times and seem so sure everyone (especially the Talbots style ladies) is judging you based on your clothes. Those Chino wearing, Old Navy shirted moms with Gap-clad kids, who make you run away from playgroups, just might be nice enough and like your boots and you too. Can I hope this means you understand that's just their style, and all about them, and not about you? I'd sure like to be a fan of yours again.&lt;/p&gt;

I like my wardrobe. I'll probably kill myself the minute I feel like wearing mom jeans.&lt;/p&gt;
