One question that is frequently asked from me is if I always "dress up", even when I'm at home. The short answer is "No". The spunky answer is "hell to the no!". But the real let-me-shatter-the-glass-for-you answer is that I change into comfortable clothes the minute that I come home and stay that way until the minute that I have to put "real clothes" on and greet the world.
I don't think there's anything wrong with sweatpants or pajamas. In fact, I prefer to live my at-home life in them rather than to wear out my "nice" clothes when I'm not doing anything special.
I even have matching sweatsuits. I'm really not kidding. My husband likes to joke around that I look a mob-wife when we're at home. Three things to address that statement: 1. It's probably true (sans the make-up and nails). 2. I don't wear velour ones, okay?! I stick to the regular mono-color athletic sweatsuits. 3. He loves it!
Now that you know way too much about what I look like at home, here's what I've been wearing at work. ;)

Thank you! <3
DeleteLove your style! And I want to see pics of those fancy sweatsuits! My husband hates sweatpants but loves leggings, so that's what I wear at home - it's an easy compromise and they're just as comfy. www.texaslovely.com
ReplyDeleteThat's a great option, too! :)
DeleteYou always have the cutest outfits! If only I could dress like that. I need to basically study your look. Where do you work that you need to dress up so nicely everyday?
ReplyDeleteI'm an Epidemiologist at a health department. :) I don't have to dress up. I just love to! haha ;)
DeleteI would love some ideas on fashionable sweatsuits!
ReplyDeleteLOL! ;)
DeleteThose rounded toe floral pumps you suggested are SO cute! And there is NOTHING wrong with sweats at home!

DeleteI know Spring is here, but it's still so cold in Chgo., which is why I still wear blk tights. The ones I have cut-off blood flow around my thighs - ouch! Could you tell me what brand of blk tights you wear? Are they comfortable?
