Let me preface this by saying that I love my mother. She is a good

It's just that she seems to have no filter between her brain and her
mouth.

Oh, don't let it bug you. Mine was the same way. Unfortunately, I lost
her at 19. Maybe your mom thinks it's her job to tell you. I remember
once wearing a new outfit I thought I just looked like the cat's
pajamas in, and my mom's remark was, "Aren't you getting a little
hippy?" (hippy in those days meaning, a big butt)
Now there's nobody to tell me when I look hippy :-(

You look hippy.

LOL! Don't forget to add "...in that outfit". It's the mom's way of making
the criticism sound like it's not really the daughter's fault... except it
is because she chose the outfit!
