So it appears that every year I sit down and take the time to write another post...seriously? a year?
And like I said last "year", I think I have so many good thoughts to share!
Around my house we have this habit of getting into comfy clothes. Like the minute we get home we are all headed to our rooms to shed the "town clothes", the clothes we wear in public! Not one of us stops for any reason, in fact we are anticipating those loose fitting, soft, sweet smelling t-shirts, baggy pants and cozy slippers long before we hit the front door.
Several months ago though I looked at all of us and wondered why our comfy clothes were ragged and our "good" clothes, especially the comfortable ones weren't making it out for US. It seemed a little backwards, shouldn't we look at least a little better for each other if "we" are the most important people in our lives, the people we want to put first? Now, I am not talking about all the accessorizing and high-heel wearing around the house kind of thing, but just maybe we could wear some of those clothes that we keep "saving" and maybe we could toss out a few of those "worn to a frazzel" ones and come to an inbetween. Maybe some of those saved-for-someday clothes could be pulled out and enjoyed around the house. And maybe, I didn't need quite so many "comfy" clothes, like the ones I have had since by-gone days!
So, I did some house cleaning, clothes cleaning out. And you know, we all had so many items that we adored and were "saving". So many soft shirts hanging and shorts waiting... and waiting for what?
I now have 2 pairs of J.Crew, (on sale), pj pants, 1 pair of thin ankle-high gray athletic pants and a half dozen Old Navy soft tees with only the cutest of one word phrases. I make sure I wear earrings to sparkle, tingly shiny lip gloss, and a big smile each day that I am home in my "comfy clothes"!
And the rest of the family has come around to the same idea. You see we live with an autistic child that wakes up EVERY morning and reminds us of the date and that we only have 1 of these particular days. And she is right, I only have one Sept. 10, 2014 ... so why not wear, look and feel cute and sweet in my comfy clothes!
