I'm 30. I'm a mother of 3. Does this mean that I have to toss fashion out the window and put on the mom jeans? I've never been super trendy or always in the latest fashion. However I have always been in the current decade and never far behind the current trends. I am usually pretty conservative and try not to be too out there. After having number 3, I have been perplexed where I fit in the racks at the store. I'm definitely not a "juniors" anymore in size (especially pants) or in style. And I am not a "misses" knit blouse yet ( maybe in 20 years). The problem lies in where I fit not literally. I don't want to look too young but I also don't want to be the object of what not to wear. I think sometimes people my age are pushing the envelope. They are trying to still look like they did when they were 20 and they are late by a decade. Then on the flip side there are others my age who have already given in and have that signature shirt in 7 different colors hanging in their closet. Another problem I have is that I am so stinking cheap when it comes to buying clothes. I don't like to spend more than 10 dollars on a shirt. This severly limits my possiblities. I love earrings and love to accessorize with them. My latest accessory is a headband with flower on it. I told the lady that checked me out that I might be too old for this. She told me that it would be cute. Cute? Am I going for cute?? My 4 year old is cute when she wears her headband. Is that the same cute that I'm going for? 30 is a little old to be cute huh??
So how do I find the balance between mom jeans and fashionista with 3 kids in tow??

Don't do the 'mom' jeans! I'm nearing 33 and still wear relatively fashionable jeans that are slightly lower rise and comfortable fitting. No skinny jeans, or super low rise or anything like that and I think I dress for my age. I live in Canada so unfortunately I can't suggest a good inexpensive place to shop. Good luck!
No, no, NO to the mom jeans!!! There are too many cute options to give in! I have found myself hitting up sale racks lately...check the Loft! I have also found some really cute shirts at random boutiques...they're not $10, but they're definitely under $30. :) I felt the same way after I had my first, and I cut my hair to have a "mom" haircut...and ended up looking like a newslady at the age of 26. 30 is the new 20!! No mom jeans for you!
I think you are worried about nothing! You always look nice and stylish for your age. NO MOM JEANS!!! I am with you about the price of clothes. I think my mind is stuck in the 90's when it comes to price tags.
