this post inspired me to do an overhaul of my lounge wear. seriously, i have always wanted to do so, but this was just the push i needed. but now i'm too shy to post my indoor wear on my chicblog! haha!
mmmm I LOVE the colder months when i get to wrap myself up in the cuddliest clothes i have and spend pretty much the whole weekend in them until i have a need to change :) true story from cold cold cleveland ohio
the only reason i don't wear my good cloth at home is cuz i don't want to get them dirty, stretched out around the knee etc. but also, if i wear my good clothing at home and wear them outside , then i would think they are too dirty for my home...oh the turmoil.
nice written, and nice photos. it's true, i can be much better dressed when I'm home doing nothing!
perfect! ive been in the process of upgrading all my sleep and lounge clothes .
yes socks are very important, especially where i live the snow is crazy, and when i go out i wear about 5 pounds of socks on my feet. sockdreams.com has the best and most comfy socks ever! i bought a pair of knit thigh highs and they are my best friend during the winter season!
YES! I love socks. Having cold feet is one of the most miserable feelings ever :(
I think I've recovered from finals, but I'm locking myself in the house until I finish college apps...I absolutely must finish by thursday, bc I'm going to NYC!!!
Girl, no shame. I woke up at 4:30 two days ago (that's PM...). But we're resting after finals, right?

I read once that the truest measure of a person’s dedication to fashion is what they wear when they expect to spend a day at home alone. And, truth-be-told, I remember looking down from my magazine at my pilly sweater and threadbare sweatpants combo and cursing myself. Then I threw the magazine on the ground and started eating the crumbs still loitering around on my sweater front. True story.
But as my personal style deepened and I started thinking more about fashion and clothing, my “loungewear” started becoming more presentable as well. That’s not to say that I’ve rid my wardrobes of all my free Hanes t-shirts (I’ve kept the sentimental ones, of course), but I’ve tossed everything that doesn’t make me happy when I’m wearing it.
And of course, if you love your sweatpants, this isn’t a PSA to get rid of them. They’re YOUR sweatpants, you know? And if you love them, wear them proudly. But if you look down at your Old Navy pajama pants and cringe, here are some hints at matching your Sunday-afternoon clothing with your Saturday-evening clothing.
Comfort counts: The reason I was so loathe to ditch the grubby sweats was because they were so comfortable. But, thick leggings, warm wraps and camisoles are just as comfortable (if not more).
Risk Risque: Onesies? Underwear as outerwear? I’d totally rock them if I lived by myself.
Extras Excessories (har har): I CANNOT STRESS THE IMPORTANCE OF SOCKS. They are imperative, especially if you live somewhere coldish. Also, pashminas and indoor beanies keep the heat in.
