the last year. I’m starting to
pull out my fall and winter clothes and finding that a lot of things are too
big (I know, the most obnoxious problem in the world to have) or aren’t working
for my style. I wouldn’t say that
my style has changed a lot in the past year, other than the addition of some
color, but I’ve definitely realized that I’d rather have a few nice things
mixed with some more affordable basics than a lot of cheap items.
lounge/nap/dog-walking/yard-working/puttering-around-the-house clothes. I got home from our trip to the
mountains and had some work to do around the house – namely, assembling a bed
for my guestroom and unpacking, while supervising two pups (I’m dog-sitting,
there’s usually just one) – so a pair of yoga pants and a hoodie were calling
my name.
However, I think Reese pulls it off just a bit better than I do. I win in the color department (pink hoodie and green glasses? Check!) but somehow, she pulls it off a bit better. Is it the sunglasses? The sneakers? The effortless-coolness that she exudes? I don’t know. I’m thinking it may be due to my way too big hoodie (what you can’t see is the bagginess of the back) or the pants that wouldn’t make it through a proper yoga class. Think I’ll be investing in a few new pairs of yoga pants (Target? Maybe? Tag is long gone…), some casual tanks and a new, fun-colored hoodie (Old Navy) in the future. Until then, I’ll just enjoy a formerly snug set of clothes being too big whilst puttering around my house. And in the next match-up against Ms Witherspoon? I’ll win. Game on.
Love the pink hoodie! I think part of Reese's look is that she still looks really perky with the ponytail. Maybe try a top knot or something? Also, Old Navy has alot of workout clothes right now. I got some great carpis last month. And they just issued a 30% off coupon for all in store purchases between 10/12 and 10/14. And, this would fall under the new rule so you can replace wardrobe items!!
