People tend to think I dress pretty well and apparently I am breaking all of the rules. It must be ok. Even my picky mom approves, which is a miracle - she was a skeptic.
hahaha, funny. I usually get rid of those clothes my mom specifically approves of. I think if a 70 year old lady likes my clothes, I need to wear different stuff

It’s hilarious because when I was younger, my mom would complain about anything that wasn’t conservative. “OMG is that cleavage - cover it up.”

Now somehow she likes the most trendy items. I wore some patterned workout pants with mesh cutouts to lounge at tbeir house. She loved them. I have some leggings with faux leather panels - she thought these are cute! I wore a romper and she approved. It has become bizarre. Lol.

I think slim jeans are more forgiving. The super tight skinnies, I am a skeptic on them for men.

Just "had" to respond to this, lol. My daughter, like many teen girls, would try to wear very sexy (I would use a different word, but it is banned on C-D) clothes ALL the time, and we would have many battles over that. However, when she was on her own and could wear whatever she liked, she was absolutely AMAZED how I suddenly started giving her compliments about some of her outfits. (She does have a nice figure, but wearing tight, cleavage-revealing clothing at 25 is much different from wearing such things to school at age 15, imo.)

I get it, but I was a pretty conservative dresser as a teen and adult. My mom was over-reacting for sure. I was not the kid who wore super low cut, tight or really short items. My mom complained about a modest amount of cleavage. Mom and I have very different shapes, I developed early and was really busty at 12. She was paranoid about me being taken for being older than I was due to getting those womanly attributes early. She had an irrational fear of teen pregnancy even after I finished college. :P (I was a nerd)

My mom commented well into my 20s.

Opposite here. I don't like them on super skinny people. To me they emphasize it. But it certainly doesn't work on people, skinny or not, with globs on the outer thighs. But I think they look good on some people.
