i suppose i’m in the opposite boat in that i have to dress up for work everyday so i really enjoy the days i get to slum around in my pajamas. i love to dress up, but it can get kind of tiresome and i end up wearing the same thing over and over. this women all look effortless and chic (which is something to aspire to).

I am usually in the most comfiest clothes possible when I am home but when I have a meeting I like to dress up a little. All of these women have impeccable taste!

I am so grateful for this post, I suffer from what I call “the business casual curse” every now and then and this is great inspiration to take a bit more time dressing in the morning!

Happy Anniversary. You will love Mockingbird. We used to eat there a lot. I found you off of Cote de Texas…I am a Houston gal too:)

I used to wish I was a doctor – so I could wear scrubs everyday because scrubs were like pj’s. This was before I was aware that a stay-at-home blogger was! I would give anything to be home in my jammies with my laptop. Sometimes getting dressed in the morning is the most daunting task I have all day! Sad, but true!

I guess the grass is always greener…..

Have fun at MB – it’s delish!!

I totally relate to the lure of all-day sweat pants (sitting in them now). I have had to make a conscious effort (partially for my husband’s sake) to find stylish, pulled together, comfy clothes to wear. J.Crew is my favorite, and I just got some beautiful things from Tracy Porter (for a great price too). I’m doing my part to stimulate the economy, for the sake of fashion of course.

You’re totally right, I feel better and more productive if I have the right clothes on. Even for phone interviews I have to dress up so that I feel like I’m in the right frame of mind even though the interviewer can’t see me.

Also, happy (belated) anniversary.

Absolutely. I swear, I wear the same thing every day; tracksuit bottoms, a fleece, and if I have to go to the Post Office I put on my J Crew puffy gilet and winter Fit Flops. I look a state. Last night I got really dressed up for a low-key drink with a friend, just to smarten up my act. I totally agree – and tomorrow, I’m going to go for a run, get properly dressed and may even wear make up during the day instead of lounging around like a bum.

I work from home most days and know what you mean. Every morning I have to get dressed or I can’t get anything done.

@ Lucie — now wouldn’t that be cute.
@ Paloma — I’m so glad that you liked Mockingbird Bistro. I love those little restaurants that are tucked away and Houston seems to have so many of them. In case you need some ideas for your upcoming anniversary, we went to Bistro Calais and Bistro Vino the past two years. Both were excellent.
@ Jessie — I couldn’t have said it better…productive and put-together! Hope your day so far is going well.
@ Tamara — I used to long for being in my pj’s all day at my office job.
