Sexy Mommy Do's and Dont's
I've always wanted to write like Erma Bombeck. But I didn't want to look like her. To me, she epitomized the mom of the 70's: cushy, lined and everything held up with a girdle that was like steel compared to today's Spanx.
As a mommy today, I don't want to look like a mom (or rather, I want to look like 2008's mom, definitely not yesteryear's).
Here's some tips to keep you on the straight and narrow:
* Don't wear jeans that pull up an inch or more past your belly button and rest under your rack emphasizing your pot belly and your wide hips. They're dated. Go to your closet and throw them away now (and don't donate them to Good Will. Women who need a helping hand don't want to look ridiculous either.)
* Don't protect your hairstyle from the 90's at all costs. Consider asking a top notch stylist for a Katie or a conservative version (I repeat, a version) of a Posh cut.
* Do buy sexy lingerie for daily wear. Not just for Saturday night.
* Do wear large-ish, modern black sunglasses. Do wear eyeglasses that a fashionable tech helps you select.
* Don't wear tennis shoes with everything. Or worse: don't pair hiking boots with your jeans. Unless you're hiking. Duh.
* Don't let the grays poke through.
* Do re-think beauty. The days when women could be smart OR beautiful, are sooo OVER! way should we let this luxury go to men alone. You can be beautiful, smart and a good mom (gasp!) all at the same time!
And last? A sense of humor. I notice that when anyone has a rollicking sense of humor, I find them super attractive and absolutely wonderful to be around.
Now go make somebody laugh (just promise you won't do it because you're wearing a pair of dorky looking jeans).
