I'm right there with you. Scrubs for work. And hopefully lots of hiking with the boy this summer.

(shirt seen below) &nbsp;Hmm, and the executive chef and band both didn't blink an eye. &nbsp;Guess assimilating is a bigger&nbsp;part of fashion than some of us deem important.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-a-hey-there-from-uniform-ville#post-952897 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 00:16:48 +0000 Janet 952897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just overdress for my life in general.

Would that make you feel better? But otherwise, I say, rock on! You are wearing what works for your activities and that is much, much better than wearing impractical clothing! And if, in the end, it looks as if "real clothes" just don't have that much space to be worn, then maybe it is time to invest in amazingly stylish gear!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-a-hey-there-from-uniform-ville#post-952062 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 12:58:17 +0000 cinnamon fern 952062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You might not be wearing your real clothes, but that sounds like a really fun, relaxing week! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-a-hey-there-from-uniform-ville#post-952056 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 12:48:28 +0000 Janet 952056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Mochi said. I can relate at bit, since I have been mostly at home over the last couple of weeks and mostly in lounge wear, but with a couple of notable exceptions in the dinner event we attended and a couple of days of errands, doctor appointment, and a little work. I'm looking forward to getting back in my "real" clothes more often this week! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-a-hey-there-from-uniform-ville#post-952016 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 09:31:59 +0000 Mochi 952016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No apologies, Mo. At least for me, my style quotient plummets in the warmer weather, work or no work. It sounds like you're super busy and living a full, active life! And I salute you for finding a great lip gloss.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-a-hey-there-from-uniform-ville#post-951976 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 04:31:17 +0000 Mo 951976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been feeling pretty unfashionable lately. &nbsp;It's uniform, uniform, gear, uniform, lounge, uniform, gear, and maybe one 'dress up' day most weeks. &nbsp;I'm trying to incorporate some of my things into the pub uniform (cargo skirts I can wear with the logo tees) and did alter a pair of capris to be uniform shorts for the golf course. &nbsp;Overall, it's been pretty blah in my fashion land. &nbsp;<br />I had three days off this week! &nbsp;But wore basically my uniform to go golfing on Tuesday. &nbsp;Then wore swimwear and boardshorts to river raft the following day. &nbsp;I did later don my white maxi for the dress challenge, but never went further than the mail box. &nbsp;I was spotted by a neighbor, does that count? &nbsp;And my BF suggested an hour after I put it on that&nbsp;I not eat pizza in it, wisely.&nbsp;<br />Also, put my 'paper bag' olive dress in the car for after rafting the Truckee River as a dry change of clothes. &nbsp;Then wore it out for tacos the next day. &nbsp;2 very brief outfits for the week. &nbsp;Total of maybe 3 hours in 'real' clothes. &nbsp;Sigh. <br />I don't think I'll have much trouble holding off the shopping list for the next 8 weeks to catch up to my calendar. &nbsp;Unless, of course, I need some kind of gear or uniform! &nbsp; </p> <p></p> <p>EDIT: on a good note, I did find a pink lip gloss, as was one of my non clothes shopping goals. &nbsp;Now to work on the other - whittling down my&nbsp;middle a bit!&nbsp;</p>
