Are you guilty?

You are not alone. There's help out there.

Too funny! I am not guilty now but that doesn't mean that I have never worn the hideous high-waisted jean style. Yuck! No elastic waist bands ever though.

Emily said...

Besides, weren't you the one who posted a picture of yourself with some pretty funky jeans from not too long ago?

Marianne said...

I know. It was my way of showing that if I could overcome my illness, anyone can.

Ariella said...

I don't have Mom Jeans, but I can definitely say I got some MOM Jean brand garments.

Linds said...

Hilarious! I don't have mom jeans. I actually got down to a size 9/10, and got some nice shorts! Yeah!!!! My reward to myself for getting back into shape.

Let me ask you this: how do I tell my semi-friend who is a mom and 23 that she dresses like a 45 year old woman. (I bet there isn't one piece of clothing in her closet that is completely cotton. The place must be full of polyester and other man made fabrics.) So, short of begging Stacy and Clinton to come to Japan and save this girl...what should I do?

Do you mind that I highjacked your blog? It's not like I can use mine for that...she reads it! XD

what happened to my comment?

What I said was:
Crystal,

You could have a conversation with her that goes something like this:
"You have such a great {insert body part here}. If you wore {insert clothing} instead of {insert clothing}, you would really be able to accentuate that."

OR you could be more subtle about it:

"My MIL sent me these {insert comparable item that she has}, and I don't know what she was thinking. It does nothing for my {insert body part}. What I really like to do is play up my {best part} and downplay my {bad body part}."

OR, you can be more blunt:

"That {insert clothing{ is not flattering your {insert body part}."

Maybe all you really need to do is help her realize that she's worth taking a little time for herself.

Oh, I so used to be guilty, but then I went to the buckle. Those jeans do wonders for your booty.

Uh......no.
