I've been dipping into some of the threads on Essentials and Statements and in Suz's thread : http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....y-speaking Una said this: " Might you pick certain days to treat as dress-up days, when you might have to go out for a bit? I crave my casual outfits and never wear my work stuff at home, but you're in the opposite boat and maybe you need to create some false structure in your days to give you the chance to wear your statements!" and I commented that being a SAHM/WAHM I sometimes wear the same old jeans and top every day...and that I really ought to try and do what Una suggested... well.... last week I really did wear the exact cardigan with the exact same pair of jeans from Monday to Friday (yes I changed my underwear!), On one day I even re-wore a tee with a stain on it under the cardigan.

I find it really, really difficult to get out of the mindset that there's not much point in bothering to wear anything too special (I have tried before and keep slipping back to old ways) as I'm only doing some housework or sewing and there's not much fun going out for the sake of it on one's own. I only ever see pals about once a month and to be honest non of them of very into style. The highlight of my year was SSIF. I actually had a reason to dress for once!

Ugh, sorry If I'm repeating myself, I know I've probably said all this before about being at home, so much, but I felt like I needed to air this. Thanks for listening
