Does being a parent make you 'ageless?'

My sister and i were talking the other day about how we are both stuck in a bit of a style rut, and when you are a parent it can be difficult to dress your age.

For example;

My sister is 24yrs old, has two children and generally lives in jeans/leggings with long tops and boots/ballet pumps. She went to a party with her kids and decided to wear her heeled shoes. She got lots of comments and looks because of it.

Any average 24yr old wouldn't be looked at twice for wearing heels, make up, fashionable clothes.

So, does being a parent mean that you are no longer seen as 24/25yrs old etc but just as a parent, and you should dress as a parent rather than as a young person iyswim?

(not sure i have put my point across very well - sorry )

I actually don't look at anyone, if I'm walking somewhere because I need to get there I would walk past my best friend because I zone out and just see 'things to try not to bump into' rather than people, buggies, lampposts, etc.
