Friday Fun: Clotheshound Edition

Friday Fun-
1. Do you have to dress for work? If so, what is your “uniform”?
2. How would you describe your style when dressing for yourself, rather than work?
3. I have noticed that there seem to be two kinds of dressers in the winter months. Those who love turtlenecks and those that abhor them! Which are you?!
4. It’s lounging time on the couch in the evening. What are you wearing?
5. Describe your favorite “feel good” outfit!

I don't have to dress for work. I used to wear a Zellers golf shirt, black pants and shoes everyday when I worked at Zellers. I still don't like wearing black and red together since then. But, I have all the black pants leftover and red is my favourite colour. So some days I do it anyway, out of limited options. I can wear what I like to work these days. Not office work where I have to dress up and buy a new wardrobe each season.

Pretty much the same for work or days off. I wear what I like, comfortable and warm clothes now with it being cold. I bought a new shirt which is a nice shade of purple and very comfortable, made of a towel-like fabric. The only problem is that it got pilled up balls of lint the first time I washed it. So now it is more of an at-home shirt than a going out anywhere shirt. But that is ok. It's lovely and warm for the evenings at home sitting here on the computer.

I can't wear things which creep up on my neck. I have asthma and it just makes me feel uncomfortable to have anything too close around my neck.

I don't usually lounge on the couch. I watch TV in my room while sitting at the computer. I usually change into my nightie and warm housecoat and thick socks so I don't feel cold. My housecoat is thick fleece with a red and white snowflake pattern. My socks are pink but getting worn out. I need new lounging socks. The nightie right now is deep red, I don't need to get dressed for work yet so I haven't, yet.

It's always something red. If I'm having a yucky day I wear red even though I don't want to at the time. It perks me up and makes me feel attractive even if I was feeling like an ugly blob when I first walked out the door. Having the right kind of boots helps too. I need to find another pair the old ones are about finished. I'm just not a clothes shopper.

hi laura
i dress business casual for work...dress pants, usually black or brown. I bought grey recently...low waisted I hate low waisted but they fit good. I usually wear alot of black to camoflouge my love handles. I have to admit I am a turtlenecker...love to hide my neck as I age. Plus I can hide my double chin and some turtle necks are sexy because they accentuate the bust line nicely...some just make you look blobby, so then I wear a jacket to slim line the whole look. My favourite outfit to make me feel good is a comfortable pair of jeans, with sexy low cut top that clings to breastis-sis that flares at waist so as not to show love handles and a pair of high heel boots...i accessorise with big fat silver or dangly silver earrings.
