Sweat Pant Fashion

 Is it so wrong that sometimes I adore how I look in sweatpants? Doesnt matter that I still have my greasy travel hair or that I've got some serious winter weight going on. I can tell that its getting close to the end of the semester because my sleeping habits have once again made me nocturnal. The only difference from this year and last year is my dedication to pilates and about ten pounds. Damn me and my stress eating and lack of exercise motivation lately. But lately I've been reading quite a few blogs that post their daily outfits and little fashion segments. And I really like it. I love people watching and seeing how people are choosing to portray themselves. I love picking things I like and dont like; things I want to try or not try. My only real dilemma is my lack of any reasonable fashion sensibility and my day job. (And perhaps my moderate body self-loathing... thats healthy right?) I keep wanting to take pictures of my outfits... but truthfully, my outfits arent much, even when I'm dressing up and you would be surprised at how difficult it is to take photos of yourself that actually show more than just one body part at a time. Believe me, I procrastinate far too often to not have a whole album of reject self-portraits on hand at any given moment. Oddly enough, I've come to realize that my favorite part of my face, is when I'm not smiling and goes from just below my eyes to my chin at an off angle. And yes, I just got that specific. I wasnt kidding about the multiple vanity albums. Did I forget to mention it was multiple before? Silly me. The point? If you're offering to take awkward outfit photos of me I suppose I'll have to accept. But be prepared for it to get weird.

Hmmm.... I kind of love this. What I am trying to say is that I love it a lot.

Sweatpants become you Melissa. After I had Jonas I threw my sweatpants away because I was afraid I might turn into a "sweatpants mom". I just recently caved and bought some with a gift card... as far as sweatpants go though they are cute sweatpants- not my usual I borrowed these from my husband sweatpants.

I miss sweats. Currently I'm trying to not "let myself go" and have worn jeans for at least part of every day since nov20. Painful. Maybe after Christmas I can slowly phase them back in.

okay so i looked at the little "outfits" link...um, could that girl have cuter clothes?! I am excited to no longer be sporting maternity wear...but I don't remember how to dress normal!
