31days of getting dressed {4/31}

Confession time:  I stayed in my yoga pants until lunch time when I finally took a shower.

The yoga pants were my non-holey yoga pants so that’s good.  Right?

Reasons excuses for my late start to the day:

• We are on fall break so I’m sleeping in.
• There is an evil, evil allergen like ragweed or goldenrod blooming somewhere, I just know it.
• Because when David asked me how I felt this morning as I awoke, I wanted say, “Like an elephant is sitting on my face”. 
• Allergies stink!
• Upon finally dragging my headachey self out of bed, a very cute 4 year old boy said, “Mommy, will you sit right here and hold me?”
• Of course, I did not pass up that opportunity…clothes, shmose!  My baby wants me to hold him!

After my noontime shower, I just threw on some jeans, a shirt with a little sparkle, and mascara and lip balm.  Oh, and I fixed the bangs. 

 

A little bit later, I got a text that a group I sing with was going to be singing tonight!  So I jumped up and did the whole she-bang – hair, jewelry, nice clothes, cute shoes.  Only, I have no full body shot because my photographer (my second oldest son) is out of town.  So I only have these very poorly taken bathroom mirror self portraits.

That’s quite a difference between my “at home” look and my “going somewhere” look.

Today’s conclusion:

• I’d have to say that today was semi-successful.  I did get dressed but it was quite late in the day.  But still, I did get dressed.
• I was actually more productive in my yoga pants than my regular clothes but that’s because it is hard to sit still in a home with five kids.
• I wish my “going somewhere” look was easier so that it was also my “at home” look.
