I get it. Thanks for the explanation. Glad that you could take time off and have some wardrobe fun.....now all you have to do is wear your stunning clothes </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-getting-dressed-this-week#post-874197 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 06:43:22 +0000 Deborah 874197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good for you and my dear I assure you, frumptastic is not a word I would use for you lounge wear or not. Have a great week and I am looking forward to your outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-getting-dressed-this-week#post-874179 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 06:03:00 +0000 CocoLion 874179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Raisin, I came to this realization after joining YLF as well. I packed up all of my loungewear sets and haven't looked back. I still have them in a plastic container. Even though I don't post my outfits (bf jeans make a great loungewear substitute!), at least I am wearing real clothes, a belt and shoes. I also received a decent pair of slippers, the indoor outdoor kind, that help pull my "new loungewear" formula together.</p> <p>Looking forward to your week of outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-getting-dressed-this-week#post-874141 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 05:10:35 +0000 Caro in Oz 874141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Way to go - looking forward to your posts:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-getting-dressed-this-week#post-874073 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 03:33:46 +0000 annaj 874073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't wait to see your outfits this week! Having a young baby is tiring, and it's all too easy to get into that rut. I have 3 children and I really go into hibernation for about 12 months after each child is born. I hope "getting dressed" also helps improve the way you feel </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-getting-dressed-this-week#post-874059 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 03:17:24 +0000 Mo 874059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good for you for getting 'dressed'. I have this scenario from time to time in my life, and it can be a slippery slope.<br /> I can't even believe folks get a whole year off from work to have a baby - totally flabbergasted! I'm not a mom, but work with several, and they are back waitressing mere weeks later. Of course, none of us have benefits of any kind. Crazy extremes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-getting-dressed-this-week#post-874008 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 02:10:37 +0000 Raisin 874008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maternity leave, Angie. It's when you take time off to have kids. In Canada we get paid EI, which is employment Insurance up to 55% of our regular pay for up to 50 weeks after having a child. My job happens to also top off my pay to 93% for the full year. It's quite awesome! I am headed back to work in 2 short months though. Thankfully, I quite like my job, though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-getting-dressed-this-week#post-873997 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 02:00:53 +0000 Angie 873997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay!! </p> <p>And I thought you worked full time. What is MAT leave? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-getting-dressed-this-week#post-873991 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 01:55:42 +0000 Transcona Shannon 873991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Getting dressed is a good thing Rae - and will look forward to seeing the week's outfits later on. Have a great time with your family. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-getting-dressed-this-week#post-873979 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 01:46:00 +0000 Suz 873979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Way to go!! It can be SO easy to stay in workout gear (or worse) all day; I know. That is why my work-at-home goal is clothes that feel as comfortable as workout gear but look better. Ha. Can't wait to see your outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-getting-dressed-this-week#post-873978 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 01:45:08 +0000 TraceyLiz65 873978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking forward to seeing your success for the self driven goal. As a SAHM I salute you! I have been getting dressed daily for years now and love doing so... long gone are the days of schlepping around... then again my youngest is about to turn 13 next month.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-getting-dressed-this-week#post-873968 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 01:37:51 +0000 Raisin 873968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks guys. Adelfa I'm not exactly a SAHM, I'm just on MAT leave right now. I happen to have very generous mat leave compensation, so I get to take a year off, and I'm headed back to work mid-May. I'm feeling pretty schlumpy most days though. I know the FedEx guy is due to drop something Mon or Tues too, so I bet he's going to be pretty surprised to see me in something other than a robe! Lol, ok I'm kidding, not about the robe, but I don't get that many FedEx parcels! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-getting-dressed-this-week#post-873944 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 01:24:27 +0000 Thistle 873944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent goal! I can't wait to see your WiWs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-getting-dressed-this-week#post-873943 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 01:23:54 +0000 krishnidoux 873943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! Good for you! Can't wait to see it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-getting-dressed-this-week#post-873934 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 01:20:58 +0000 Adelfa 873934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's good! SAHMs need to feel cute. My daughter as a preschooler used to get upset with me if I didn't dress, or if I didn't wear my "pretty shoes" which were a pair of Italian bronze woven flats. Point being I didn't always dress either.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-getting-dressed-this-week#post-873897 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 00:48:13 +0000 Anonymous 873897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good for you! I hope you have a great visit with the fam. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-getting-dressed-this-week#post-873895 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 00:45:46 +0000 pil 873895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking forward to seeing your pictures. The pieces you post are so appealing to me but would never work on my body, so I'll enjoy seeing what you wear.</p> <p>As I sit here in my fleece top, wool knit bottoms and Haflinger slippers : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-getting-dressed-this-week#post-873893 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 00:41:47 +0000 Anonymous 873893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good for you! I will cheer you on from the sidelines. My daughter is on spring break this week so I'll be the one in loungewear... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-getting-dressed-this-week#post-873880 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 00:32:36 +0000 Kalli 873880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! Can't wait to see. I may have to do some WIWs to compliment since I haven't done any yet. Except I sort of have a work wear formula and I get lazy and wear duplicate outfits only changing the jacket/Cardi so I wouldn't feel bad for your own laziness. I'm pretty lazy myself. I'm going to visit my pregnant sister in SD so I may have more outfits to show :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-getting-dressed-this-week#post-873873 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 00:28:12 +0000 Raisin 873873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, just to let you all know (or is it to keep me accountable?) I will be "getting dressed" every day this week. I'm headed to my parents this weekend, so I'll probably only post Mon - Fri for you. I know what you're thinking, doesn't she already get dressed? Well I guess that term is debatable. Most days I schlep around in the same sweat pants, t shirt and housecoat that I wear everyday, take off to sleep, and put right back on as I get out of bed. Yes I do post WIW from time to time, but I usually only get dressed long enough to pick up my son from school or go get groceries. I think loungewear is fine, but I feel like I've taken it to a bad place, and none of my clothing is getting much wear time. </p> <p>So from Monday to Friday this week my goal is to get dressed by 9am and post my outfit each day. I'm hoping it helps me to feel a little less frump-tactic throughout the day, and it will give me an opportunity to put some outfits together with some of my newer pieces. Lets see if I can do it! </p>
