Do you watch what you wear around your DD?

Q: Have you actively changed your style after becoming a mum/ put away the sexier outfits around DD?

So... Recently I have started wondering if I am setting a good example for my daughter (6)/ giving her a healthy attitude of what women should look like.

I have an hourglass figure with khmmm, quite sizeable chest and hip area. Clothes that aren't fitted around the waist make me look a bit chubby, so I prefer fitted clothing. I'm also quite short so I like heels, sometimes quite high heels. My typical casual outfit might be tight jeans or leggings, heels and a fitted top, and my breasts are quite hard to hide away. In other words, my clothes emphasise my figure and I am comfortable that way. Imagine the style of Gloria from Modern Family.

A couple of passing comments from family have made me think, should I dress differently now that I'm a mum? For example, show less skin in the summer, or not wear tops that show my breasts?

While I am comfortable dressing in that way and showing my figure while I have it gives me confidence, I don't necessarily want to imply to DD that this is how women are expected to dress/look. I worry that she'll maybe want to grow up too soon or want clothes that aren't age appropriate as a young teen.

No it hasn't influenced me. And your dd will probably want to dress the opposite of how you dress anyway instead of being influenced to dress like you. No young person wants to dress like a 'mum' and that's what you'll be to her.

Absolutely not. Being a mum doesn’t define me as a whole, and I don’t need to shake up my wardrobe to become mum ykwim.
As the pp said - my kids do the total opposite of me, which is brilliant . They have now no interest in piercings, tattoos and ridiculous clothing

Winning 😂

My mum was forever in plain jeans and trousers when I was growing up, I live in patterns, bright colours and dresses!

I have brought up my dd to never let anyone police what she wears.
I have also made it quite clear that shit like 'dressing like a mum' or 'for your age' are just another way of making us feel crappy.

Ignore your family op!

I have always worn whatever feels and looks good on me and my 22 yr old dd is exactly the same!

I think, you are allowed to be sexy and a mum. Dress in what makes you feel confident. You are a woman with a woman's body. No need to hide it!

Lol good point, she'll probaby end up a rock chick or something!

She's just a really sweet, slightly bookish girl. I've just recently noticed that she's started to take an interest in my clothes and makeup (normal I guess, I remember doing that) and it's made me a little self conscious about how I look around her, as I am fully aware I may be showing more skin/shape than other women.

Sit yourself down one evening and watch 'Erin Brockovitch' - enjoy the sight of a strong mother figure in tight clothes standing up for herself and making the world a better place. She's a bad ass and very inspirational - I watched it with my daughter when she was younger.

I don't get walking around the house all-day in heels, or wearing them out to places where she wants you running around with her, but beyond that I don't think there's an issue wearing clothes that fit and are comfortable on you. Your behaviour is far more influential

Oh I don’t wear heels all day or go to soft play in them, I have comfortable shoes too! Just an example of what she might see me in, more so when I’m leaving the house without her in tow.

Hey if I had that I'd be flaunting it! Show her she can wear what she wants and not listen to other people dictate what a woman should or shouldn't feel good in
