I’m Over It: The “Cool” Mom
Some skanky Hockey Mom.
Amy Poehler...the "cool" mom in Mean Girls.
Let’s face it, there is nothing cool about moms that wear pink velour Juicy Couture sweatsuits, flaunt their belly-button piercings, show off their cleavage to their kid’s friends, smell like a baby prostitute or wear Rock and Republic jeans. Really, anyone over the age of 40 that goes out looking like they are about to hit up a high school dance should be given a reality check. Yes, you are old. No, you shouldn’t be wearing your 14-year-old daughter’s clothes. Yes, you turn heads…but not in a good way. No, you are not cool.
If there is one thing I really applaud, it is a woman who embraces her age and dresses for it. Dressing like a “mom” doesn’t mean you lose fashion and sex appeal. My mom looks killer in her Ralph Lauren blazers, Brooks Brothers sweaters and Calvin Klein jeans…and seeing that she has been married to my dad for 31 years means she must be looking good!
Take my advice. If your mom has nicer clothes than you do, gets her nails done more frequently, dyes her hair obsessively and compliments your friend on her “stellar” heels, I recommend you ditch her while she’s shopping at Guess and head for higher ground. In the meantime, I’ll be hitting up 5th Ave with my cool mom.

About the Author: After dropping $31 for Valencia orange juice and strawberry-banana yogurt at a Greenwich Village Gristedes, begging her parents for nearly $50,000 a year to attend America's dream school, NYU, and wasting $26.50 on a lost MetroCard, there is nothing more priceless than Kirby's arrival at Fashion Indie. As a Buffalo native, where the God-awful Ugg Boots slop around the slushy April snow, Kirby made the executive decision to relocate to an atmosphere accepting of crocodile thigh-high gladiator sandals (apologies to her dog who stuck in the suburbs of Buffalo sleeping in the shadows of the stairwell). Kirby is currently exploiting the opportunities New York City has to offer. From running into Gossip Girl cast members at the NYU gym, to coincidentally modeling in Fashion Indie's Brooklyn Bridge show, and finally to pursuing her dream of becoming the new Anna Wintour, Kirby is taking no prisoners...except maybe for her roomate's Marc by Marc jacket, which by the way Andrea, you probably won't see again.
