WHAT TO WEAR WHEN YOU DON’T NEED TO DRESS UP
Every day will not be a great day. I tossed and turned all night long and didn’t get a lot of sleep. I could feel a headache coming on, and my sinuses were bothering me. By the time that morning rolled around, I didn’t want to get up, but staying in bed made my head hurt worse. Don’t you hate it when your sinuses act up, and even your teeth hurt?
It is bad enough to have a sinus headache, tight and tense shoulders, and feel all around blah. But, with everything that is going on right now, you start to question every little ache and pain. Didn’t they say that a headache was a symptom? Didn’t they say that you would feel tired? UGH! Not to mention that a family trait that my sister, brother, and I all have…a dry cough. We all have this stupid cough all of the time and have for years, but now you question yourself. “Is it my usual dry cough, or is it something different?” I want to go back to the good ole days when you could have a headache, feel like crap, and occasionally cough without going all to pieces. Lol! Am I the only hypochondriac when it comes to this stupid virus?
I made myself get up, get dressed, and put on a little bit of makeup. I kept telling myself, “I don’t need to dress up, but I SHOULD!” Putting on a bright color helps my mood, and wearing makeup helps Joe’s mood. Lol! (me wearing the makeup, not Joe ?) I went to my closet and started looking for something bright and cheery to wear. Boosting my mood with color is something that I love to do; it is way better than using medicines. I worked somewhat because my attitude lifted, even though my headache stuck around. I figured that I could hurt looking bad or hurt looking nice. If I am going to hurt, I might at well look good! Lol!
I have had this hoodie sweater for a long time, so I was surprised to find it still on the website. The sweater is not only pretty, but it is soft and very comfortable. I am not usually a fan of hoodies because I feel like they are trying to choke me. Lol! But, this one has a deep enough v that I don’t even notice the hood. This is cut generously, and I have plenty of room in this sweater even though I am wearing a medium. I have washed this several times, and it has turned out great each time. Sizes are limited in this color, but there are two other colors that you can choose. Here is the link to the sweater, and it is on clearance.
Several of you have asked about the wreath that I have on my door. I love this grapevine wreath, and I bought it a couple of years ago at a street fair. I went on Etsy and found several that I thought were cute.
When you feel bad, glitter shoes are the ticket. Lol! I bought these glittery house shoes back in the winter, and they sold out so fast that I didn’t even get to tell anyone about them. Mine have the sheepskin lining, and I wear them ALL THE TIME! They have a hard sole, so I wear them outside also. They are comfortable, but I truly think that it is the sparkle that I like. If these were brown, I wouldn’t like them as much. Lol! #confessionsofafashionblogger
Loungewear seems to be on everyone’s tongue right now. It is all about comfy and cozy, and we don’t want to feel confined anymore than we already are. I love this pair of lounge pants that I bought from Fabletics, and here is the way that I wore them before. They are loose and flowy, and they are the most comfortable things ever. I also like leggings, but I have come to realize that I am not a big fan of the compression style leggings. I like the knit, or Ponte knit type way better than the spandex type. Here are a couple of lounge pants that I found and thought that you might like.
I went shopping yesterday, and I saved over 350.00 on my order. Normally, I’ll order items, get them in, and then show them to you so that you can see how they look on me. BUT, the sale is ending TODAY, so I am going to switch things up. I am going to link to all of the items that I just bought, and then you can decide if you want to purchase for yourself also. I’ll still show them once I get them in the mail, but they won’t be on sale then. A lot of these items are already on sale, but if you use the code COMFY, then you will get another 40-60 percent off.

Oh Tania, I had some of the same symptoms last night. Kept me awake forever, finally took a Tylenol and slept a little. Ugh! I’m praying and will be so grateful when we come out the other side of this mange!
Tania,
Just “thank you” for being you!
Have a blessed weekend!
I just ordered the hoodie sweater in gray (the only color left in medium). It’s on clearance, there’s an extra 15% off, shipping is free, and I had a $5 off coupon I needed to use. The final cost was only $12.50, yay!!
Ugh…I get those same headaches! They’ve been bad this Spring. Hope you are feeling better, Tania!
Love love the lounge outfit… my kind of stay at home wear… I can skip the makeup! LOL!
Tania, although I don’t get to work from home and I still go to the bank everyday, I am allowed to dress casually everyday. to some that means jeans everyday, but I like a variety of looks, so your ideas have been a great inspiration on a new way to shop my closet. there is no reason I cant look cute and comfy, right?
Exactly! There is no reason not to look cute and comfy.
I think we are sisters everything you said is so me right down to the sinus headache where it makes my teeth hurt. I have been working from home so I have been getting dressed just I am going to work and it has helped especially something cute and colorful. And I also work at the corporate office of a small lumber company.
Hope you to feel better.
Monica, you do sound like you could my sister. lol ?
“Me wearing the makeup, not Joe.” ??? Thank you for starting my day with a laugh!! The glitter shoes are so pretty and that sweater is a beautiful color for you. Love your blog!
Thanks, Stephanie. ? I love this shade of lilac.
You are certainly not the only hyoochondriac! We have that too, we tell each other every morning when we wakeup how we are feeling! Stay strong!
Tania, I hope you feel better soon!! I’m sharing your “comfiness” with you!!!
I usually feel great, so when my sinuses act up, I whine like a baby.
now this is my kind of stay home outfit. it comfortable for home but if I need to run to the store or take a walk to get away from my ppl for a few mins I can.the hoodie is a nice uplifting color too
We all need these comfy stay at home styles that we can relax in, but still feel dressed enough to go to the mailbox.
