  Don't change who you are just because of a few side-eyes from stuffy moms!  Staying young at heart (while still responsible, of course) is a great gift to your children.   It never hurts to have more serious pieces in your wardrobe for when the occasion calls for it, but don't give up your overall look just to please others or fit into a traditional mold.

  I already had a "mom" wardrobe before DS. I like plain clothes; cardigans, sweaters, plain t-shirts. Most of my clothes are from the GAP. If you find an outlet store near you, you can usually get everything for at least 40% off!

  I'm 32 and still rock the jeans, converse and printed Ts. I look young for my age also but don't look out of place with an infant.  I think some moms dress too provocative or teenagish and it looks ridiculous on them....but then again it looks ridiculous even if they didn't have kids. Wear what makes you comfortable!

  I dress young, but then again I'm only 21. I don't see the need to dress like an old lady just because I have a baby now. My skateboard shoes, and hoodies are who I am lol.
  
  I also have nicer clothes, my boots and heels for when I go out.

  I still mostly dress like I did pre DS. However I went from AE clothes to now more Target clothes. I'm still jeans and tshirt or tank top but when you get spit up on 38474930263 times a day who needs to wear expensive clothes?

  Same story here!  30 yrs old and wearing printed T's with jeans and my favorite Diesel sneakers.  I agree 100% with all of this

  I have a lot of mom clothes since I am a teacher.. but I only wear those clothes during the week.  I like to be comfy on the weekends and try to wear whatever fits in my wardrobe and most of it is abercrombie since I used to work there 5 years ago, and ae.  I like the way their clothes fit and even though they are many years old they have held up pretty well and i have many other bills/ and priorities that come before shopping for new casual clothes.

  I hate the negativity when out and about too!  I was at the grocery store when DD was about 2 weeks old ( because I needed groceries and DH works,not that I need to justify it!) some old lady walked up stuck her head practically in the car seat and said awww how dear is she! How old is she? I replied 2 weeks old today! The woman gives me this horrified look and says oh my! When my kids were young we never took them out so young! I smiled at her put my hands firmly on the cart handle to keep from smacking her up side the head and said... well the only real risk for her is that she may get sick if people stick their face in hers and breath their germs on her! and I just walked away!

  I also look very young for my age and I remember all the looks I got when I was pregnant! Of course by August I was to lazy to put any makeup on or do anything to look presentable. So I'm sure that made me look even younger. I always felt like I was getting the awww look at that young pregnant girl look! Seriously people mind your business!

  Dress how you want and be glad you look young. It is a problem most women would like to have, I would think.

  I have the same problem, BTW- I look much younger than 37. At the library where I work people assume I am a student and often ask to speak to "the person in charge"- which is me. It was much worse when I had DD1- I was 25 and looked about 16 at most. I used to get PLENTY of commentary from snarky older women.

  I'm a teacher in a high school so I've always tried to dress older. I'm still wearing the same clothes I've ha before DS. I've been called the babysitter before. I'm 26, but people think I'm younger. I thinks it's funny and will love it when I'm in my 40s.
