dressing fail

Oct 04, 2016 22:49

There are the clothes I wear to face the world at work and at play, and then there are the clothes I wear when I’m at home. Home clothes don’t have to be stylish or appropriate or even fit right. They just have to be comfy. I’ve gathered a mish-mash of home wearing bits and pieces over the years - most are dorky and well loved, some have holes or ( Read more... )

I say this in the nicest way possible...only you! But then as I typed this I was reminded of my dear friend Chrissie turning up to work in pj bottoms, tartan fluffy ones to boot

Haha Zoe, your comment sent me on a rollercoaster ride of emotions. First, I was sad that you thought such things could only happen to me, reinforcing what I have long suspected about myself - that I'm a weirdo. But then your comment elevated my spirits immensely when you wrote about Chrissie's pj incident! I'm not the only one at all and there are people perhaps even more weirdo than me - what a consolation :D

Haha oh yes I put undies on! The very idea that I wouldn't! It's just I was so sleep addled I put on the pair of pants I'd worn before the shower, instead of the brand spanking clean pair right beside them. The shoes.. well, that I have less excuse for :P

Oh yeah you should duck! I'm going to throw one of my mismatched shoes at you if you keep that up!!

Hmmmmm, I think you are just saying that about the undies but you reeeeeally didn't and you just don't want to admit it!! HA!!

And if you are going to throw a mismatched shoe at me, please make sure it's the nicer of the two?? Thank you!!

:-D

Haha pfft! Why stop there? Why not just believe I didn't put any pants on at all and went to work with just a bedazzled vaj-jay-jay?!

Fine, but I reserve the right to hit you square on the butt with it :P

ROFL............!!! I'm so sorry that happened to you. But you described it so well. It gave me the best laugh I've had all day. Sleep medication can zombie you out more than usual in the morning so it could happen to anyone. Now you can scratch off going to work in my comfy pants from your bucket list. Not to mention setting a fashion craze by wearing two different shoes!!

Haha I'm sorry that it happened to me too, but I do enjoy a good laugh at myself and so can't resent anyone else laughing at me as well :P

I don't have a bucket list, but I might make one just to scratch that off it. If only I had the fashion cred to set a fashion craze - normally I'm more a cautionary fashion horror tale!

I've done something similar. And there ate times I wear slippers out. I have no fashion sense so I always go with comfort ( I do draw the line about wearing lounge pants outside, barely).

I think your lounge pants are what we call "tracky dacks" and I too have fallen just short of this fashion faux pas, but it is tempting! I agree that comfort is the top priority - like George Costanza, I think that if it were socially acceptable I'd probably drape myself in velvet :)

Oh Jenster, thank you for sharing! You make me smile. What did the kids say?

I told the classes that noticed that I'd done it deliberately, since I was reading a book with another class about conformity / non-conformity - not sure they believed me haha :)

Good work!

Thank you, Vmeister! I was worried you would judge me harshly for lying to impressionable teens and perhaps instilling a desire to wear inappropriate pants and odd shoes everywhere :P
