falling standards in the wardrobe department
I have freelanced from home for 9 years. And for the last year I think I've worn the same grey jumper and jeans combo like every day. It's not that I don't have a wardrobe full of stylish loveliness you understand. I studied Fashion Design for god's sake! It's just that even with the heating on full blast it's flipping cold. And no-one sees me. Apart from the mums at school. And their idea of style is an anorak from M&S and a nice pair of mum jeans. Next to them I'm the most fashionable person EVER.
So yesterday I decided to make an effort. For myself. I put on a nice little black top. Still with jeans, didn't want the other half thinking I was having an affair or anything. I stuck it out for 3 hours. Shivering. Then put the grey jumper back on.
It's just too cold. And no-one sees me.
It's bad I know. But not as bad as staying in my pj's all day....or HORROR tacksuit pants!
My God - it's like looking in a mirror! (except my socks are stripey...)
ReplyDeleteand me, except my socks are the really chunky cosy almost like a slipper type....I actually get quite excited putting them on every day. Oh, and I do wear tracky bottoms (but they are nice jack wills type ones!) they're really comfy. I save my jeans for when I go out!
ReplyDeleteoh yes, that's happening here too - and although i moan about the weather this year, at least I can still wear my giant thermal socks all day, hurray!!
ReplyDeleteI also have trouble deviating from my jeans and stripey top uniform :-)
ReplyDeleteYep...me too...jeans and a big pink jumper...everyday !! and huge fluffyish slipper things ( pressie from mum in law )....but they are from River Island so they are allowed ! ( They are the ONLY things from River Island that I can fit into...!! ) x
ReplyDeleteah yes! I tend to wrap myself in heavy clothing too cos it's just so damed cold siting in the same position for hours on end :0) I even have one of those microwave hottie things for my knees and a nice little blanket! How granny is that?
ReplyDeleteomg... first coinciding grumpy days and now I see we look nearly identical... except mines a grey, cover everything, keeps me cosy cardigan, that is really pilled and hairy.. and I have been known to sit with scarves on, with water bottle and hands wrapped around a cup of tea.. (while trying to work on computer..) thanks for the laughs ms pop-i-cok, have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteHaha Love it!! I go to school in wellies everyday. I drop my son off then immediately take my dog out for a walk. I then work all day and then take dog out (in wellies) and pick up son. One of the Mums asked me what I did and I said I was a textile designer, she kinda looked at me like "yeah right" in a disbelieving way. I'm constantly drawn to tight dresses and high heels when I go shopping. They would never get a look in, in my daily life! I'll stick to my wellies jumpers and jeans - I do have terribly fashionable geeky glasses though!!
