Outfitting Myself

When I was working, I would always dress up....nice clothes, dress pants, skirts, dresses, heels, etc.  But the moment I would come home, I would change into some version of my ridiculously comfortable but hideous uniform, consisting of some combination of an oversized long-sleeved t-shirt and ginormous scrub pants I permanently borrowed from B.  Now that I stay at home, it seems like getting dressed is a chore, or maybe more like wasted effort?  I am not sure, but these days I consider getting dressed to be when I put on a bra, especially in the winter.  Seriously.  I am thisclose to becoming your stereotypical north woods housewife.  I am a slave to comfort.  This is definitely something I feel I should work on.  Now that the kids are a little older, they have things like gymnastics classes and Pre-school to go to, so I have more reasons to leave the house, thus more reasons for me to look human.  Here is an example of a typical outfit for me. I wore this to take the kids to gymnastics, we run short on time so i have zero make up on and needed something quick. Fashion forward?  Notsomuch.  But a bra?  Check.  Real pants?  Check.  Brushed hair?  Barely.  I still consider this a victory.

This picture sucks, but our only full-length mirror is inside our closet.
