Any moms feel silly

like we can't shop in certain stores because we're older?

I'm 32 and I feel awkward going into stores like Mandees, Charlotte Russe or Forever 21.

Maybe I'm just being weird...am I alone on this?Chat Icon

Re: Any moms feel silly

I'm 36 and now tend to be an ann taylor, banana republic, and (of course) target girl....

I know that if even if I fit into the clothes in those shops, they would look absolutely ridiculous on me!

Oh, I do occassionally pick something up at H&M, though... (their less teen-ish stuff)... but that's as junior-ish as I would ever get

Re: Any moms feel silly

I feel old when I see the younger girls in there, but that is what I can afford so I still go there.Chat Icon

I get frustrated though that a lot of stores are clearly not stroller friendly! I think Frederick's only wants customers with no children to shop there!

The only reason I feel silly these days is because I couldn't fit ONE LEG in anything at Mandees these days!! LOL

I loved forever 21 until the day I got pregnant. Now going in there makes me depressed.
And I want to knock out the chicks that work there too...I stay out. Chat Icon

Nah, I still go in occassionally but at this point, since I don't go OUT OUT that much, I may choose more classic items.

No way, not yet!!

Forever 21 is a little tough to find something not too teeny-bopperish for me though. At least it was for awhile - haven't been there is a while because of that.

Re: Any moms feel silly

I'm almost 35 but sadly I get dragged into those stores by my 12 yo DD. I couldn't buy anything there, she would be mortified.
