Is my blog the right place for me to vent myself and offer my fashion commentary? It all stems from my time out shopping for back-to-school items for my girls. I saw something that just shocked me...stirrup leggings! NOOOOOOOO!!! Those were a terrible flash-in-the-pan fashion mistake of bygone years! Are girls really going to start wearing those again? With a mini jean skirt, coordinating jean jacket (covered with New Kids on the Block buttons, of course), bangle bracelets, and side pony? I didn't know I was so old, but I'm starting to see clothing styles cycle back through that I once wore. And it was terrible then. It hasn't gotten any better, I promise.
And so, I ask any reader to make me a promise. If you wore it the first time it was cool, YOU CANNOT WEAR IT THIS TIME AROUND! My husband teaches at a junior high and I am amazed to see mom and daughter twin-ers. Moms, let us not be frumpy, but let us be classy and tailored, not trendy and tight. Okay, I'm not a fashion guru. I do live on a single income brought in by my (amazing) school teacher husband. But, alas, that is a discussion for another day. I do refuse to dress like a teenager, though. Say no to stirrup leggings!

Haha! I was actually just thinking about those horrible stirrup leggings the other day.. they were pretty horrible and my little girls will NEVER wear them! I agree that moms should be dressing more classy rather than like their young teenage girls. I see so many LDS moms that do this as well! I will gladly protest those horrible stirrups with you if the need arises!:)
Shocked that you see middle school girls who are willing to twin-dress with their mom!
Amen, sista!
Those awful stirrups were a fashion faux pas clear back then. They definitely should not be resurrecting a fashion that never should have been alive in the first place!
