I don't have a problem with the low rise jeans as long as the top comes down low enough. For some body types, they're just more comfortable. I find as a mother that it's hard to find clothes that I think are both stylish and age appropriate. I also refuse to dress matronly. I work pretty hard keeping myself up, and I'm not going to hide that. However, I would never attend a school event with cleavage showing or with a visible thong. And I haven't worn a mini-skirt since I was in my twenties!

I hear you! I wonder if the OP is talking about young mothers, who are dressing like their childless peers. I haven't worn a mini-skirt since my twenties, but I guarantee you that being a parent wouldn't have stopped me from wearing a mini skirt when I was that age.
I've never been a thong or middrift showing person, that's just tacky IMO, but I do wear lower rise pants. They're more comfortable and fit better because I'm long waisted. I'm glad t-shirts are made longer these days. I'd be in a bind if they ever stop making shirts with a long torso. Normal length shirts were always a problem for me even when jeans had higher waists. Speaking of shirts, I'm small breasted enough that I can wear deep v necks without showing cleavage. I'm definitely not looking trampy in my shirts. LOL
Someone mentioned high heels. I haven't worn spike heels since I was in my 20s, but heels are part of my everyday look. Mine are usually about 3-1/2" high, but not thin. I have a high arch and flat shoes hurt my feet. Plus, I'm fairly tall and I love looking even taller because it makes me look more slender even though I'm already slender. For me, tennis shoes are activity specific, not everyday wear.
That's not sexy, it's slutty. You can be sexy in a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, being sexy doesn't mean how you dress, it's how you present yourself, how you feel about yourself, etc, and it all comes together.

I agree with sues1. It's not necessarily the packaging - as the presentation!
Mom's who chose to dress "slutty" to catch the attention of all suffer from low self-esteem and feel that getting eyed (even in a non-approving way) is attention. There are a few mom's like that at my kid's school. After a while, people don't even notice, but it sure gives them something to talk about later.
sexy and slutty are not the same. what OP was describing is slutty (imo)
i can be sexy in flare/bootcut jeans and a black t shirt- with no more skin than my arms and face showing
Yeah, slutty is more like it! lol
