Australian blogger and mum Stevie Niki has hit back at comments which shamed her about her choice of clothing. She was referring to one particular outfit where people said she wasn't dressed appropriately as a mother.

Sharing a post on Instagram in the outfit that she was shamed for wearing she said:
"The other day someone said to me that i dont dress like a mum and i shouldnt wear what i do. There was even a comment about my clothing not being age appropriate.
I was wearing this outfit.
Umm what.. excuse me?
The 1950's just telegramed and they want their out dated views back."
She went on to say that she wears what she wants to because that's her prerogative. She says she shouldn't have to wear something that others deem appropriate.
"What i choose to look like or wear does not change who i am within. My appearance does not impact my personality. Who i am on the outside does not define who i am on the inside. Your opinions, views and sense of style only reflects you and not anyone else. I will look however i want to look and dress in whatever i want to dress in and still be a Mum. I could have a sex change and i'll still be the mother to my children."
She added:
"Good and kind people can have tats, mums can have piercings, caring people can ride motorbikes and wear a patch, poor "people can be generous beyond their means and quiet people can be loud.
Asthetically pleasing people can be mean, fit looking people can feel insecure, wealthy people can be rude and crass, happy people can be in pain and friendly people can do evil things.
Enough with the stereotypes.. theres nothing worse or more ignorant.
Think before you speak, get to know someone before you choose to judge someone - better yet, just dont.
No one likes a judgey mcjudge face."
