I like cute lounging clothes, but comfort comes first, whether I'm color-coordinated or not.

I've always said I have more lounging clothes (such as they are) than 'real' clothes. :)

well Stacy..I throw on whatever..

The other day I had on Capri jammie bottoms that are red/white checked with hearts in the "Boxes"...a light blue cotton cami and a turquiose hoody...I too didn't match...

Would love to have cute ones but I am like you Terri the kids lovve when I dress this way to take them to school the know that is the day we will have a flat break down something LOL Stacy

Picture me with white crew socks, one of which is halfway off my foot, gray cut off 3/4 length sweats, stained baggy T-shirt, left side pillow hair, one contact lens, and yesterdays mascara.
Not a pretty sight. I choose very carefully, on these days, not to look in a mirror, or catch my reflection in anything shiney.
I fully believe I have earned this right of passage.

Trin

I match, thanks to my DIL. She has bought me so many pairs of lounging pants and tops that are so cute and comfortable. My socks are a different story. I wear the fuzzy ones in the winter and I have all kinds of strange designs and colors.

LOL @ Trin!!!

Yep, we've definitely earned this right of passage, Trin. Another reason I don't like drop in company. :)

Gosh! After reading all this....I feel pretty. LOL! White long sleeve T today with navy blue knit yoga pants. Black fuzzy half booties. Comfy.

Gayle

well 3 of you should feel really cute right now but me and Terri we are sticking together...and to top it off I skipped the shower this morning too...can you say...not a plesant stie? Now would drop in company bother me...nope I would go to Walmart like this.....if you don't like me don't look! Maybe when the boys get older and get married I will tell my dil's what to get me for Christmas and I can be cute too LOL Stacy

I try to match even when it's my day off. Lesson learned years ago. Let me tell ya about it.

I traded days with another woman at work. She needed a day off and asked me if I would work for her, and I would get her day off instead. So.......... I get up in the morning and don't wash my face or do my hair. Needless to say the eyeliner was now cheekbone liner, KWIM? My hair is usually short and anyone with short hair knows when you wake up in the morning, odds are you'll have a Mohawk. Then I put on some hot pink long t-shirt and Micky Mouse jogging pants. Remember the ones that had nothing but Micky Mouse all over them? BIG HUGE pictures?? Yeah, those.......... At lunch time, I hear my son walk in the door yelling, "MOM! Someone is here to see you!" Before I can hide, in walks in a TELEVISION NEWS CREW! Yup! What's his name? Last name is Hughes. Dern....... anyways, he's a newscaster and he walked in with a camera man. They were looking for people to interview about the crazy high prices of house fuel. Our gas bills were outrageous! He begged me to be interviewed and said I looked fine. Now you didn't need to put a mirror in front of my face for me to know how bad I looked. Heck, the expression of shock on his face when he walked in the door and saw me said it all! LOL After much begging and pleading (everyone in my neighbourhood works, so I was the only one home), I said I would do it IF they would wait for me to shower, change and put on makeup. So now, even though I never answer my door when you didn't call first, I still try to make sure I look decent. I may not wear makeup, but the hair gets combed a bit. I wash my face. And my clothes match. LOL Even if they're jammies, they match. :o)

Hanes (men's) long sleeve t-shirts and flannel dorm pants, and bathrobe when it's really cold. Doing lots of that these days.

LAMO @ U! Now that is tooo funny!!! I would run and put on matching clothes a baseball hate and fast track makeup for tv but nothing else...cuz if you have ever ever seen anyone on tv getting interviewed we aaaaaaaaaaalllllllll look like hicks I don't know where they find them but they do no teeth and all LOL Stacy

OMG - I practically wear the rag bin around the house!! My fav pair of pants for around the house I wore when I completely scrubbed my upstairs bathroom with mildew remover - now they are all dotted with white spots... and I have a fav t-shirt & sweatshirt that completes the outfit. I am sure I am just a picture of beauty.

I have a few nice, cuter lounging outfits for "dressier" hanging around the house days, like when my MIL comes for a glass of wine or a repairman is coming over etc.

debby_ab, does your son now reside in the garage? :)

I have a couple mottos: Form follows function. and I was built for comfort not speed!

My preferred lounging attire is underwear and sometimes topped off with flannel pants. Occasionally a hooded sweatshirt if I'm feeling chilly or my shoulders are bothering me. And I usually throw a blanket over my legs & hips when it's cool.

Maxine has a great cleaning tip: Clean your house in the nude... then you'll clean those mirrors extremely fast!

I dress for comfort not beauty. LOL, Especially if I'm not going anywhere. I sometimes don't even dress until 11:00. My nighty is warm. I don't have any lounging things.
Leslie

I wear whatever I can throw together. I just came in from outside doing chores. I have on a pair of grey stretch pants and turqoise shorts over that and a pair of grey sweat pants over that. On top, a striped blue, white and olive green pull over shirt and a brown and red polar fleece jacket. White socks and Crocs.

I'm with Terri: whatever

So I am thinking most of us look "hot" that is what I tell B when he calls on his way home from work your wife is "hot" tonight.....he knows then I have on one of my comfy outfits.....totally mismatched and when we lived in mo last year they usually had my black polka dots rubbers on with them or my puple plaid from taking the dogs out...........one day when the kids are gone and I have LMAO extra money I will own cute lounging jammies...Stacy

I wish I had some of those cute things! I really don't have much in the way of lounging clothes. I wear levi's all the time so you would catch me in those with a really large hoodie over a t-shirt with a long john shirt under that. When I get out of my bath in the evening I wear a pair of old flannel pj bottoms and my very old garden web t-shirt with a fleece robe and my Uggs! Actually, during the winter I only wear my Uggs if I am not at work. I never wear makeup and my hair is beyond description. I have not had it cut since April and I wear a baseball cap 24/7.

Trish

I very seldom match when I am staying in the house. I wear sweats and some times my socks are mismatched. I do run a comb through my hair but no lipstick.

I don't really have any of the cute stuff, but I guess mine's not too bad. I usually wear yoga pants & either a t-shirt or or a fleece top, a pair of those fleecy soft socks & slippers.

Opps I did forget the uggs if I don't have my thick socks on my uggs are on.....I think I have dh convicened to buy ugg slippers cuz he is sick of my boots in the house

I wouldn't call mine "cute", LOL, but they do match. I make my jammie bottoms of 100% cotton, with an elastic waistband.

Before I sew them, I take the fabric with me to the store and buy a matching solid color Tshirt or two, usually a size larger than I would wear during the day.

Well dang it mary c if I could sew I would be cute actaually if I had not gained so much weight from lst yr to now....I would be cuz I found such cute jammies at old navy last year for like 5 dollars but I sorta out grew them dang it........Stacy

Stacy,
I sew them because it's difficult (impossible!) to find cute things in my size. I quit smoking about a year ago, and, yep, now I'm fat.

But I will continue to sew my own, even when the weight comes off, because I will always be different sizes top and bottom, and I like different fabrics top and bottom, tool. I like woven cotton bottoms, and knit tops.

I wear jogging pants or yoga pants with a long, loose t-shirt. I can hardly wait to get into that when I get home at night.

I thought lounging clothes were sweats. :)

Moni

I seldom get to lounge, so no lounging clothes for me. I can be found 99.9% of the time in thermal underwear worn under jeans, white socks, New Balance cross-trainers, a long-sleeved, mock turtle neck t-shirt worn over the thermal shirt and under a sweat shirt, and no makeup. Sometimes I do eyebrow pencil and lipstick.

If we're going to watch a movie after dinner, or if I give myself and early night, I wear (in winter) full set of thermal underwear, heavy socks, same New Balance shoes because I can hardly walk without them on, an ankle length, long-sleeved, high-necked, fleece nightgown, and a heavy, long, fleece robe. Fleece is our friend. No skin will be exposed until Spring! LOL

I don't like having to take a shower in the mornings. A shower means I have to take off the thermal underwear long enough to shower and put on a clean set.

Burrrrrr.

I like to match.

I'm beyond the gunge look at home. In winter I layer and resemble a homeless person. Right this minute I am wearing navy sweats that are at least 2 sizes too big,red slippers, a t shirt that is practically transparent from washing, a red over-sized sweatshirt with a hole in it and a fleece purple robe. My pink watch cap is near by if my head gets cold.

cute pj's? heck i'm wrapped in a blanket with a heating pad on my back!it's too cold for cute, lol..

Stacy....what I wear daily looks like what a lot of people spends months trying to put together for a halloween costume....yep, I'm a real fashion plate!!! Co-ordinates????....what are those????

~Kathy~

About 6 or 7 years ago Wal Mart had quite a variety of colors and Kellogg characters on men's dorm pants. I bought 6 different ones and sewed the opening in the front closed becaused it tended to gap open. I have worn them every night to sleep in with a matching t-shirt, either long sleeve or short sleeved, depending on the weather. Since I've retired there have been many days that I have kept them on til I have to leave the house. They have been washed so many times that they are now about 6 inches too short. I make up for that by wearing socks when the weather is cold. My tops and bottoms match, but the socks are whatever I happen to grab out of the drawer.
I rarely wear make up, and there have been a few times when I wash my hair and just let it dry without doing anything else to it. I look more like a porcupine than a woman, but I don't care. I wear crocs around the house unless my feet hurt bad enough to have to wear my New Balance shoes with my inserts.

I feel the same as Trin. I have earned this right of passage.

Linda

baggy, capri length pajama bottoms with a Big Dogs tee shirt that says Miss Bossy. I cut off the neck thingy on the Tshirt it was too tight and i didnt exactly measure it, so now I have to use safety pins on the shoulders to keep it ON my shoulders. Really cute! and I promised myself when I retired that I would not spend my day in pj's....... with my hair sticking up!

I use to be in PJ's and ratty robe till after 9AM some days watching TV and having a second cup of coffee. I got caught by the UPS man once when I went past 10AM, so after that I was always dressed by that time.

Now that DH is home, due to getting laid off, I am cleaned and dressed by 7AM. No more louging around watching TV or having a second cup of coffee. Not wild about this new arrangement.
Clare

I've found not getting dressed up and looking cute comes in handy. We had some Jehovahs Witnesses ring the doorbell a while back. No problem. I answered the door in my robe and ungroomed hair. They said they must have caught me at a bad time and left. I agreed. The look works on door to door salesmen too.

I did buy some matching workout clothes last year. Dh has been complaining. He doesn't find stretched out jogging pants all that attractive. He thinks I should sit around in boxers all day like he does. Lol!

Here's what you'll see if you show up at my place in the winter:

I love these things. They are too hot to sleep in, but I wear them around the building like sweats. And out to walk Conway in the middle of the night. I'm sure the neighbors have some quaint nicknames for me. LOL

Since I have been laid up with a broken leg since Thanksgiving, I have become an expert on lounging. I wear nice matching sweat pant outfits all day long. I am kind of sick of them. I aways match and my hair and makeup are done everyday, not as early as I would like but by 9:00. You never know who is going to come to the door.

I would love to see pics of all these outfits!!

OH my gosh Lisa would that thread not be a hoot...well next week I am sure I will have another of those days....so I will take a pic and post it...LOL do you want me with boots on or off.....Stacy
