Hipster Mom, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways…

I used to think a few Swarovskis on a shirt was kind of cute but not on every damn thing in my entire closet. Ugh.

An “I hate bling” tank top is f-in brilliant!

And TQ goes to a Methodist preschool so I feel ya.

Oh god I’m so with ya. Plain clothes that don’t cost a billion dollars are about as easy to find as a very fertile panda in a Chinese zoo. Seriously. And finding them for kids??? Forget it.

I am soo with you on this. It’s just not fair. I wrote a similar post a while back about still wearing maternity shirts, 3 YEARS after giving birth because every t-shirt I find is tight as hell and barely covers my belly. I’m a mom, I don’t have a flat stomach ~ it’s mushy. I want to conceal it, not flaunt it. I want clothes that are flattering to my new figure. I can’t or shouldn’t shop in junior shops but I’m fat too young to be in Chico’s or Land’s End. So what’s a gal to do?

Izzy - I think we should go in on producing the shirt

Mrs. F - I know what you mean about kids stuff. Having boys, I don’t have to worry about bling on them, but the endless sports, trains, and assortment of hokey pictures on everything make it impossible to shop for simple things without getting nauseated.

J’s Mommy - Seriously, most of the girls I see who are young enough to wear juniors have no business wearing the clothes out right now either, let alone any woman who’s been through pregnancy. Even after the baby weight is gone, my stretch marks aren’t meant for show and tell. And I forgot about Lands End, they are a pretty big offender of fashion.

So funny you should post this today. i spent the day at the mall shopping for clothes for my new body. i have lost all of the baby weight plus some, but nothing is the same. i finally went to the womens section and said a tearful goodbye to juniors. i must say, the jeans fit OH SO MUCH BETTER over there. i couldnt believe that after 5 hours of trying on jeans, i finally found the perfect pair at JCPenney. Brand is TINT. These are awesome. They look cool with all of the fading in the right places, but arent extremely low waisted. Nice to know there are some jeans out there that arent cut down to the crack yet dont sport an elastic waistband like the ones in the old bitty stores (i.e. lands end)
i am still searching for shirts that arent cut to the nipple and arent so tight that i look

my commenting abilities seem to have taken leave tonight, i accidentally posted a portion of my comment above, here is the rest…

i am still searching for shirts that arent cut to the nipple and arent so tight that i look like a busted can of biscuits. if you find any well fitting shirts, be sure to post where in the hell they are….

Oh man…I went shopping today for some clothes for my 10 month old. Everything was so hokey and had way too much of that rubbery stuff, like a silkscreen but all thick and shiny. I guess that’s the boy’s version of bling. I did find three plain, very cool garment dyed t-shirts in good colors. Everything else was a TOTAL
compromise… *sigh*

My main jeans problem (besides showing my ass) is finding a pair with smaller pockets. My ass is creeping down the back of my legs bad enough on its own. I don’t need these gigantic pockets looking like they are oozing down to my knees as well. I can’t imagine what they think I will need to carry in my back pocket that will necessitate them being that large. How would you sit? Thanks for the tip Andrea, I’ll have to look into those. And as far as the “kid bling”, I know it’s very middle class yupster of me, but the clerks at “Baby Gap” know us by name. It’s the only place I know of where I can be sure of finding “crap free” clothes for kids.

[…] Next is Hipster Mom sounding off about the ubiquity of bling. Naturally, I agree completely. And her shirt idea is trés clever. Don’t even think about ripping it off […]

I’m visiting via Izzy. I echo all you have said. The express looks like one big under 21 club - and seriously, I head to the back of our old department store, don’t even look at the brands anymore, and just try to find something that doesn’t make me look like I’m 5 months pregnant (cuz I’m not).
