Drop in WIW - YouLookFab Forum

I have stepped away from the forum for some time. Multitude of reasons, foremost a midlife shift happening. More on that another time. For now, I am more in uniform than ever https://moderatewardrobe.wordpress.com/ which makes me enjoy my 'dressing' times even more. I'm feeling a renewed sense of vigor when I do get dressed to go out. Thought I might share
Today was slightly rainy and mostly cloudy (think typical Seattle weather) and so I decided on the fuzzy poncho. BF called me the wooly MOmmoth at lunch, but I know he was jealous of how cozy I was - ha!
Sure enough, once we got home, he got curled into the fuzzy blanket and declared that he would cut a hole in the top and sew up the ends to match me. I told him that was called a Snuggie. He laughed. My snuggie is for public consumption. lol

What fun Mo... and good to see you here:) I love this. And trust me this is way more stylish than the 'snugie' my boys bought me a few years back.

I totally need one of those! I hope you post more here; I love seeing the juxtaposition of your nw to se outfits.

Ah, thanks ladies. I notice the poncho looks more overwhelming in pics than in motion. I do feel short looking these days with the fit of some things, not the least being the darn grocery apron. Grr. I'm over 5' 4", really lol.

Love it Mo- you look fabulous as always!

Great to see you posting - you look stylish and warm at the same time!

YES. Wearing a school uniform for 12 years made me enjoy regular dressing SO MUCH MORE. And really made it count.

Fab look, and enjoy.

Thanks for stopping by, Mo! Your poncho looks deliciously snuggly.

That should make a bf jealous. Everyone wants to come up and hug you!

I admit I did feel pretty fuzzily huggable that day! Moreover, I wore something maybe not all that mainstream for a simple lunch and errands and didn't care if or what anyone thought of it. Did I mention a certain mid-life shift happening with me?! ha ha.
I did get the grocery checking job, and it's barely above minimum wage but it offers benefits at only 30 hours per week minimum so that is the real driving force behind choosing it. And the hours. Basically from noon to sunset. No more waiting around until dinner hour to go to work.
I do still have the banquets at the golf course, and some weeks I'm working 6 days between the two jobs. Still have not been back to the pizza parlor but technically I think I still work there lol.
All this to say, my day to day life is different than it's ever been. I rarely see my pub colleagues but maybe twice a month. That's okay. Sometimes life shifts. I have gone on a couple of runs with one gal and that's been nice. I think when the weather warms everyone will 'come out to play' and I'll be seeing more friends and socializing more. Guess as we all grow up we just splinter off in our separate ways a little bit more and more.
Mainly, the new job(s) entail a stricter uniform than either the pub or pizza did. Black pants and uniform top. Period. Probably half the reason I'll wear whatever the heck I want on my off time, hee hee.
I'll try and pop in a bit more regularly now that I feel a bit more on even keel.

You changed the way I look at clothes buying with your numbers post as well as your categories etc. Thanks for that! So logical. I read your blog and enjoy it.
