I hate suburban mom fashion

I'm talking about those upper-middle-class suburban housewives.

They are usually perfectly fine looking women, but good god, they put themselves in the most unflattering atrocities of clothing ever. Those pants that stop at the calf, and the loose, billowy shirts, both of which combined together make them look fat and potato shaped, when they probably just have normal bodies. And then they wear sandals to show off old-lady feet that have no reason to see the light of day, and paint their toe nails colors that should only be acceptable on middle-school girls.

When I get to be that age I vow, no matter my social status, that I will dress more like the working-class moms I see; long pants, cool boots, opened jacket, natural un-died hair letting the gray shine through. Not only does this flatter the women so much better, it also looks a hell of a lot more comfortable to wear.

    Yep, I hate their fashion sense, too! And I've noticed that working-class women usually dress prettier. Of course, you also have the working-class women that dress like truck drivers, but they're another story.

    I think back to my working-class neighborhood in Philly where I was born, and most of the women took great pains with their appearance. They may not have had a lot of money, but they made the most of what they did have. Most of the women looked beautiful when they left the house. Even if they had lots of kids, they never saw it as an excuse to neglect themselves. My mother was this type of woman, and so am I. I've never seen my mother leave the house looking sloppy or dowdy.

    But now I live in an upper-middle-class neighborhood, and I want to cry each time I go to Mass because most of the women are so ugly. The tragedy is that these women would be reasonably attractive if they put more effort into their appearance. However, for the hour I'm at Mass, I have to contend with the visual assaults of processed hair in sloppy ponytails; too-big shirts; yoga pants; Birkenstocks (the ugliest shoes ever!); flat-heeled sandals with thick soles that look orthopedic; cankles peeking out of capri pants; no makeup; rampant rosacea; cheap, dollar-store flip flops worn with nice dresses; nursing tops worn even though the rugrats have long been weaned; and a lack of jewelry.

    I've even had women approach me after Mass to tell me how nice I look, so it's not just me who's suffering from these eyesores every Sunday.

      Well being a slob all the time is no good either, I agree with that. But, I was complaining more about women who try *too hard* to look "good" and "young." A bit of gray hair and extra weight usually look a lot better than a walking skeleton with obviously fake colored hair.
