The Mommy Confessions: I’m having a fashion crisis
Posted by: Lizzie
My thirtieth birthday is creeping up on me in less than a year and a half. I’m terrified, but not because of wrinkles or gray hairs. No, I’m terrified about what’s going on in my closet. For one thing, I still can’t fit into about 90% of my pre-pregnancy jeans. I inherited about 10 pairs of size eight Old Navy jeans from my mom and they are still too tight!
I have started going to the gym as regularly as possible with my family’s schedule, but the prospect of fitting into all those once-loved jeans is looking bleak.
Do I suck it up and buy some size 9′s so I won’t have to wear the same thing over and over?
Do I sew up some elastic-waisted skirts?
Do I just wear yoga pants FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE???
It’s not just the jeans that I’m worried about. I also have shirts that aren’t long enough anymore or are really made for “girls” in their early twenties–cause that’s when I bought them.
My mommy confession is this: I’m afraid to dress like a mom.

Well, Clinton and Stacy on TLC’s “What Not To Wear” always say “Dress the body you have, not the body you wish you had” – so I think they would advise getting clothes that look great on you now, as you are
And you know, Old Navy has some great stuff for that goal!
