How To Train Mom...and Double Your Wardrobe!
1/11/00
When you reach the age of about 16, you're at a point in
your life when
you've normally already reached your destined height and
even in some cases,
your destined weight. Nothing changes from there. Most of us
take on a
physique similar to our own moms. This can either be a plus
or a minus, or
maybe you are totally different from mom, but still your
gorgeous self.
Anyways, the thing is, if you and your mother share the same
waist
size....there is a way to get mom to sport the new looks and
to share clothes
with her. Which means doubling your wadrobe!
From my own experience, I didn't have to do much work to
convince my own mom
to get into the swing of the youthful fashion of today.
She's always been
young at heart, and yes, at 39 she still likes to go out and
have the men
drool all over her. (Even though she's happily married
ladies! Just because
you are married doesn't mean you become invisible..we all
know that right?)
Back on track here, there are a few simple steps that you
must take to
conform your mom into the elite fashion world.
1. Whenever browsing through a clothing store on a Saturday
afternoon, find
something of your mom's favorite color which presides with
your own taste (of
course). Then, casually say in your best brown-nosing
voice,"Geez mom, this
would look great on you!" This not only boosts her
confidence, but could even
possibly get her to buy it and more. If you convince her,
you know you've
succeeded.
2. It's that all important night, and your mom is rushing
around everywhere
to find the perfect outfit for your father's associate
function. Of course
she brings you along to suffer with her in and out of the
dressing rooms. Why
not get something out of this, right? Take control, tell her
you owe it to
her to help her out a little. Pick out everything she throws
on. And maybe
con her into buying two outfits...just in case the other
doesn't "look
right."(If you get what I mean).
3. I know every teenage girl at least snags a mag or two
each month from the
store or by subscription. When your dear heart has reached
it's full content
and it's willing to part with you oh so precious
possessions....casually
throw away mom's Woman's World and stick your own mags by
her bedside. She'll
have no choice but to look through them. Then by the whim of
fate, she'll
start to wish she was young again. That's when you step in
and encourage her
to go for it. Throw away the spandex mom!! Try these boot
cut jeans on for
size!
4. Plan a girls day out. Force your mom to get a make-over
at the beauty
counter. Tell the beautician you want her to have on all the
"in" make-up for
the season. This will get good ol' mom feeling good about
herself. And we all
know, that when you feel good, you buy more! Thus, insist on
picking out all
of her clothes!
By this time hopefully you'll have your mom headed down
a new path. The
right path that is! Your wadrobe will double I guarantee it!
If not, try
harder!! Take the advice from a dedicated Fashion Diva and
Lacrosse
player....if at first you don't succeed..don't sit down and
cry you little
baby!....get up and try again!:o)~
