Why You Shouldn’t Sweat Fashion Rules
Let me tell you about a fabulous woman in her 60s who totally rocks an undercut and flaunts oversized earrings. She’s absolutely stunning. I can guarantee she didn’t wake up on her 50th birthday and think, “Yikes, I’m too old to wear what I love—bring on the polyester pants and housecoat.” Nope! She is unapologetically herself. She embraces every inch and couldn’t care less about what Sally from the country club is sporting. She’s too busy being her own fabulous self to worry about being “on fleek.” And you know what? She truly doesn’t care.
As far as I’m concerned, you can take your fashion dos and don’ts and toss them out the window. If something makes you feel sexy, that’s your cue to wear it—no matter what the fashionistas say. God forbid we wear horizontal stripes if we aren’t a size 00, right? And let’s just get this straight: leggings are pants, and I’ll rock those bad boys all day with my favorite flannel, then cozy up in them at night because they make me feel like a total badass.
Sticking to a rigid fashion framework is about as enjoyable as scrubbing the toilet. Wearing what you love, regardless of your age or how many kids you have, is liberating. If you want to “accidentally” don that tiara from your daughter’s tea party at the grocery store, go for it! The truth is, you’ll likely brighten someone’s day.
I hear too many women saying, “I’m too old for this,” or “Should a mother really wear that?” Last I checked, women don’t come with an expiration date. Nobody’s telling you to ditch your overalls—there’s no law against having fun with your wardrobe. The older you get, the better you become, so really, this party is just getting started!
Becoming a mother or aging doesn’t mean you have to forget who you were before. Often, what we wear brings back memories of those carefree teenage days in our favorite jeans or when we were 23 and could get our hair done without scheduling a babysitter. And let’s be real—it feels fantastic.
Want to throw on a blazer over your yoga pants after a workout because you’re heading to brunch with the ladies? Go for it! The best part is you can indulge in that extra slice of pie because, hello, yoga pants.
If you love your over-the-knee boots styled with skinnies or a chic leather jacket, wear them proudly. Who cares if you channel Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman? If you’re going for a sultry look, might as well look like the high-priced kind.
I once stumbled upon a magazine that claimed women shouldn’t wear miniskirts after 35. What kind of nonsense is that? Since when do our legs stop being fabulous? Have you seen Halle Berry’s legs? And what about all the stunning shorter women who feel swallowed up in long skirts?
We come in a myriad of beautiful shapes and sizes. Imagine how dull it would be if we all donned the same “momiform” day in and day out. Be trendy, be classic, wear something simple, or choose something you adore—even if it’s something you’ve never seen anyone else wear. Let your style shine and don’t let your kids, friends, or the latest magazine dictate how you should dress.
If you think you should avoid new trends because you’re a mom or feel you’ve passed your prime (spoiler alert: you haven’t), think again. Who even makes these rules? And why do we feel the need to follow them?
Wear what resonates with you. If something makes you feel amazing, that’s more than enough reason to sport it. Confidence is always in style, so own it!
