QOTD - Inspired by "Up All Night" (no spoilers)
What is your typical "lounge wear" around the house? Is it based totally on comfort, or do you attempt to be stylish at all?
Re: QOTD - Inspired by "Up All Night" (no spoilers)
I'm all about yoga pants and t-shirts.
I work from home and my routine is get up, throw on the above gear, work a couple of hours, work out at lunchtime and then shower - and then get REALLY dressed up in a pair of jeans and a clean t-shirt. Sometimes I'll even throw on a sweater... but that is only either when DH is not traveling or when I have to leave the house for something. Otherwise it is yoga pants 24/7.
most of my clothing choices revolve around comfort, especially now that I SAH & my p/t job is outdoor manual labor.
When I want to be "fancy" I wear capris/shorts/skirt/pants from lucy and a t-shirt. Otherwise, it's yoga pants or, worse yet, maternity gauchos. Yikes, right?!?! I have made more of an effort to apply make up every day though. even if it's just foundation or tinted moisturizer & mascara.
eta: i am not pregnant. i just find the maternity gauchos really comfortable. i would wear my maternity jeans if i didn't tear a hole in the leg. although, they probably wouldn't stay up.
Totally based on comfort. Read: pretty ugly/ill-fitting. Sorry DH.
This, with addition of apologizing to the occasional neighbor who sees me take out the recycling.
Yoga pants/yoga capris/leggings and a t-shirt or tunic, if it's chilly, a cardigan.
I would say it's a pretty stylish.
We make the rockin' world go 'round.
I'm all about the pj pants when lounging. I usually change into them after the dog's 9pm walk and wear them the rest of the night/ to sleep.
If it is a weekend I'll upgrade to yoga pants or jeans.
Stand up for something you believe in.
I usually wear yoga pants, a tank top and a long sleeve tshirt over the tank. It's extremely comfortable, but also looks cute. It's not so much that I'm trying to be stylish, but I'm trying not to be a man repeller ;-)
THIS
I thought I was actually pulling off a cute/sexy/casual thing with my new Walmart lounge pants and tank till DH started making fun of my high waters. Stupid things shrunk up!
This is hysterical. For Christmas one year when DH and I were first together, he bought me a velour "outfit". I was a little bit like "WTF" and a lot of bit like "FVCK YES!" I asked him what made him pick this, and he said, no joke "you're NY Italian, isn't that what all of you wear?"
Hilarious.
We make the rockin' world go 'round.
Mostly comfort.
But I will reassess if I find myself completely clashing matching my red Red Sox shirt with my orange UVA butt shorts.
In the summer I do wear tank tops that show a decent amount of cleavage. This makes DH happy. But I mostly do this to cool off.

i completely agree
if i know we're just hanging out at home i'll wear my lululemon yoga pants and a t-shirt. though i've recently decided that i need a new pair of yoga pants soon as mine are showing their age and i cannot be going out in public with them anymore. i used to wear them for a quick grocery store run. gym in my building, lounging at home, fine.
After work - sweatpants and a t-shirt or hoodie sweatshirt (just depends on the time of year)
Weekends/days I don't work - I get dressed for the day so what I put on depends on what I have going on. Most of the times it is jeans and a top.
Planning Bio
While we are not Italian, we are NY/NJ and my mom buys at least one of these each season for DD.
Awesome! We do this for my niece and nephew since my SIL makes fun of our velour!
But it's so true! When DH wears his with his gold chains, white undershirt, and driving slippers it's like he walked out of a mob movie!
We will rock the velour together SSW!
PJs around the house. This includes a pair of cotton shorts, sweat pants or just straight up plaid pajama pants. I typically only wear ON knit tops so I'm usually ok in those.
What is sadder is that my jeans are getting tighter - I used to lounge around in just my jeans but now I get in the door after errands and it's straight into the shorts.
My DH drives me crazy. He'll usually stay in his work clothes till he goes to bed. For some reason it annoys me. Get comfortable already!
