Comfy and Frumpy Don’t Have to Go Together
Tuesday, March 16th, 2010
Your loved ones love you no matter what, but do they really deserve to see you at your frumpiest? I’m referring to ‘private’ clothes that no one usually sees you in except for your family – or in this case for Jodie Foster a hidden photographer! You know the look: an oversized old sweatshirt, your stretched out jogging bottoms, and Uggs. It’s not uncommon to save the worst for those that love us the most! But there is a middle ground between slob and scrubbed up well for a night out! You can have comfortable ‘at home/doing errand’ clothes that feel great, and look good too.
What do we want most?
What do we really want to wear when we get home and want to relax? Most likely it’s comfort and familiarity; clothes that don’t grab our attention, clothes we don’t have to give much thought to. Here’s the good news. We can get that feeling from clothes that are either so worn they are comfy or we can buy new comfy clothes that look good being worn.
Lounging treasures in your wardrobe
A search through your wardrobe may result in discovering some key pieces that could replace the grungy outfits you’re wearing now. Consider recycling clothes you’ve worn in other situations into outfits you’ll wear at home. For example, some of your older cashmere jumpers may be looking a little short compared to current styles, but get layering with a long t-shirt underneath them that sticks out at the bottom.
Maybe your favourite jeans from last year aren’t going to be your going out jeans this spring. Think about recycling them into at-home jeans especially if they have that comfy stretch in them. Read more of Comfy and Frumpy Don’t Have to Go Together
