[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s Covid and age more than being a mom. Pre-Covid, I was going into the office every day. I wore my nice work clothes, did my hair and put on makeup. I paid more attention to fashion, although now I’m early 40s and can’t figure out what to wear so Covid gives me a reason to not worry about it. Now I wear shorts and t-shirts or sweatpants unless I have Zoom calls, which is only once per week or so. I hardly ever wear makeup now (and when I do it looks dated). I don’t know what to do with my hair so I pull it back every day. It also gets hard in your late 30s/early 40s because we are not the target market for fashion. I can’t - and won’t - wear what the 20-somethings are wearing, but I’m also not ready to jump into Eileen Fisher or J.Jill. Also, hormones and post-pregnancy bodies make it hard to find styles that work for us. I love Vince, Jenni Kayne, etc, but the voluminous (“breezy”) LA-style look can be hideous on me. I like Theory but that skews a little young at times, especially for work. The struggle to stay out of frump territory is real. [/quote] My mom gave me a gift card to J. Jill for my 40th birthday and it felt like an act of violence.[/quote] +1 my MiL gave me one for my 40th too. The worst part is I found a beautiful sweater and scarf that I wore until threadbare. Ugh.[/quote]
