MamaT Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Isn't the rule "if you're old enough to have worn it once, you're too old to wear it when it comes back in." I don't know if that's true or not, but I'll use it in this case. :001_smile: Those skinny girls don't have the mommy "pooch" that makes them look so awful.

I will also embrace that rule, if you don't mind. In addition to the extra yardage of skin that likes to flop south (thanks to full-sized twins incubated on my 5'0" frame), I have about an inch between my lowest rib and hip. Those high-waisted affairs literally button around my ribs. Ghastly. Plus, I'm pretty sure they lead directly to shoulder pads. {shudder} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years. And yes, those high-wasted shorts are definitely back. We've hit a few amusement parks this summer and I have seen them on a lot of young, stylish looking girls. You know what's also back? Doc Martens! So, I wore Docs the first time around, am I too old to wear them now? I saw a girl in a floral dress with Docs the other day and that just took me back.

Cammie Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I think if the person wearing them are doing so to be "retro" it might be ok - but those doing it without any sense of how dated they are should probably put them back on the shelf!

FO4UR Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I will take a "Mom Jeans" trend over the low-rise junk. (Does this mean I'll be able to find jeans that don't show my dd's underwonders soon?) MyCrazyHouse - I have the same issues...only no twins to show for it. (3 dc birthed within 3.5 years of each other though, which I think must produce similar results...and one on the way which gives me some validation for my tummy...I am 18wks along, looking like 6mo:001_huh:.)

LaxMom Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I haven't stopped wearing Doc Martens... Does that mean I'm back in style or just dated? Or, worse, some old gal trying to look hip? 3blessingmom - my theory is as follows: The first time, it takes for.ev.er. to finally fit into the maternity clothes. The second time, it feels like you wear them forever. The third (and probably subsequent times), you tinkle on the stick and can't re-button your pants while you wait for the lines to show. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Giant sunglass frames have been back for awhile now. Years. Um, okay, so you're telling me that I am totally out of fashion, I guess. Except that her glasses are completely clear so they don't look like sunglasses to me. I meant 1980s style regular glasses. Which I haven't seen at any eyeglass shop in large numbers for decades. I was at a shop yesterday and must have missed the Sally Jesse / Tootsie aisle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just may be too much for her to take. I get that look. Like I'm just too OLD, and 40, for such a fashion statement. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MamaBirdX7 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I think they are pretty main stream.

mom2scouts Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I would love for high waisted jeans to come back into style. I'm so tried of seeing butt cracks and muffin tops! For myself, with many pregnancies and a few c-sections, low waisted pants sit right at the mommy pouch and right above the scar area and either roll over (not attractive and very embarrassing) or have to be worn really low. I would like something that was high enough to hold in the sag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, I was just looking at some pictures from high school where I was wearing one, and wondering when they would make a comeback. My mom said Donna Karan was crazy about them. I hated going to the bathroom in them. All we need is more neon, and big bangs and crimped hair and I'll be as miserable as I was in the late 80s.

merry gardens Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 :hurray: Yeah! My plot worked. It knew higher wastebands were destined to happen once I'd gotten rid of all my old mom jeans. If your in your forties and reasonably fashionable with a tendency towards hoarding and you want to re-start a fashion trend, just give away all the old clothes in that style which you no longer wear.

brandigirl Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 This made me laugh fashion trends lately tend to favor those with a boyish shape. I have seen those things on people with no behind it looks cutesy and screams I am 17 but REALLY want to be noticed but then you see it on some one with a large behind and it heads towards hooker department...I should know because I tried on my cousins and lets just say it look more like a cover for my waist than my butt.

Munchkins_mama Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I have a tall butt and prefer mid-rise jeans. And I've been on the search for the perfect pair of Docs for years. I'm 31yo and I don't think you can ever out-age an awesome pair of boots. I remember wearing a denim mini-skirt and a pair of 9-hole Docs to work when I was 16. Dang, I used to be HOT. :tongue_smilie: I would pair them with a knee length skirt now though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluegoat Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Yes, I think 80's style frames are back in. I noticed my fashionista friend in NYC had a pair a year or so ago, and since then I've seen a few on very hip people. I don't think Docs ever really go out of style.

Same problem - about a finger width between my bottom rib and my hip bones. I've always bought "boy" jeans because the "ladies" kind were choking my rib cage! I'm definitely not hour glass shape so the boy cuts are much more visually appealing on me. I hope they don't go out of style or I'll have to resort to wearing skirts and dresses all the time.

Why is it always at fashionable people are cool for going retro, and we mere mortals just look frumpy? My husband who has a friend who is a computer geek who still has his old funky glasses. They look very old school. As in, old school, not as in fashionable. Does that make him cutting edge? Of course not. Just like some fat mom (or Obama and Romney) wearing mom jeans just looks ugly.
