Dressing Up When Dressing Down...

My grandmother use to tell me that you didn't have to always dress your best but at least dress well enough that you'd never be embarrassed if you ran into an ex-boyfriend or a girl you didn't like.As much as I like to idea of grocery shopping in ballroom gown attire its not really practical is it?Having kids I know that feeling all that much more.But its really easy enough to make casual still look stylish so why not do it.

I don't own tennis shoes,ballet flats are my "comfy shoes".Hoodies don't exist in my closet when there are more cardigans than I can ever think to wear.And accessories!They really are the finishing touch.I'm just not entering the stage where I can wear them again without my son trying to rip a necklace or earring off.

Scarves a lazy hair days best friend.I picked up this one at a thrift store for a $1.00 and the red dangle screw back earrings also were $1.00!

I'm also rarely outside without sunglasses.Just a smart habit to get into ladies.I'll be 30 in a few months and you start to notice those fine lines creep up.I don't want them deepening at all.These are my Jackie O replica sunnies,they're the only non-vintage sunnies I own.

here is a close up of the fabric of my pants,these are also thrifted.Acutally my whole outfit is minus the shoes!

With kids and dogs I rarely get an outfit shot without one or all of them in it.Today was no exception to that rule

But I can cheat and crop kids out sometimes,hehehe.

    Cute I love this outfit. Hmmm yes it is always a bit of a problem trying to decide what to wear on lazy days. We moved out to the country early this year so I seem to spend most of my days in old jeans and gumboots... not very glamorous! I think I will try the scarf trick though definitely.

    Ach, I saw THREE teen girls (separately) shopping at the supermarket today in their pajama pants and slippers. They could take a cue or 12 from you!

    So true, good lesson I recently learned when I saw an ex and did not look my best.
