You try something on in a dressing room and don’t bother to look in the mirror until you’ve determined it is comfortable.
I took 10 items into a dressing room a few days ago. Whether I put on pants or a top, I immediately did a few yoga stretches, squatted down, sat on the bench and did a lap around the hallway.Β Only when I felt sufficiently comfortable in something did I bother to look in the mirror.
Yes, I do care very much about my appearance…thus, the shopping (and my eldest daughter is in the fashion world)! Like any other gal, I love cute clothes but they need to be practical for real living. In my twenties, thirties and much of my forties, not so much. I was definitely looking first, worrying about how I felt later.
Now days? I’m so over anything even remotely snug, stiff, scratchy, too thin, too bulky, too hot or too cold. And, yes, appropriate yet trendy and comfortable are simultaneously possible! It just takes me a little more time in the dressing room.
No matter what I’m wearing during the day, putting on pajamas at night is the best-feeling outfit ever.
This is fantastic! Very funny π Good to meet you — thank you so much for finding my blog. Blessings to you,
Debbie

You made me smile! I wear scrubs all day at work and it is like wearing pjs. When I wear real clothes I too am looking for that comfort. I’ve discovered leggings and knit tops – stylish and nearly like pjs!
