        Oh yeah! If I can't be comfortable in my own home, what else is there?

          Yep, I do. If I have to run somewhere I change.
          Sometimes I have even been known to wear the same 'dirty' clothes 2 days in a row to work outside in. When I come in, I shower and put on clean clothes (or my pj's), but if I go back out to the garden later in the day, or the next, I will put on the same clothes again. I have about 2 pairs of shorts and 1 pair of jeans, and 2 t shirts for dirty outside work.
          The reason I keep going for the same homeless looking clothing is because I keep putting barbwire holes in them...

            Yep, we look homeless. We wear our old clothes that are stained or holey at home and we have nice clothes for wearing in public. Why ruin the good stuff when you are cooking or whatever and our good clothes last a lot longer because they are only worn when we go somewhere.

              I seem to have a problem with holes today, holey jeans..and holey umm...other clothing ..but not the shirt, that is in good repair...what was I thinking when I put it on?

              Anyway, I like holes in my jeans, more comfy, and makes em longer, not to mention air flow, which is important in an 80some degree house.

                I think that wearing certain clothing is alright, but I think that couples should try to dress up for each other once in a while. I try to get the favorite stuff off before I see the hubby or before dinner. Everything has its place.

                  Oh, I do dress a bit better when I go to town, but at home my clothes are pretty ratty. In the winter, I wear one sweater over the other to keep warm.

                      I look like a bag lady when I go out. I'm not into changing. I wear the same thing everyday. But who have I got to impress? I wear slippers summertime, all year in So Cal/Hawaii, and sneakers during the winter. I don't care what I wear even going out. If I'm going out to dinner I MAY, not usually look to see if what I'm wearing has holes. If it doesn't I'm good to go. I've got stains on everything.

                      DH is immaculate. Sigh. I guess people must wonder what he sees in me. I use to wear nice things, but I've grown out of it. Plus I broke my foot a few years ago and stopped wearing anything cute (Dresses) because I can't stand to wear any heels anymore.

                        Living, I have quit dressing up too. I use to wear a nice short dress (he likes them short) and heels out to dinner every night. I just don't like dressing up any more, so it is shorts or jeans for me. But I did it for the first 20 plus years of marriage.

                          Trust me even now when we go to nice occasions because of the foot thing I find it hard to be in heels even for 4 hours. I use to love shoes, but I no longer shoe shop at all. My right foot still aches sometimes if we walk a lot.

                            Bag lady? No.

                            Frugal lady? Yes. I have about three outfits that I rotate thru. Wearing two days in a row unless I've been out sweating. I do have a nice selection of outfits for church, family activities, or going out, but only a few things for home.

                            I'm just not that into clothes.

                              The world's best invention is the bra-top camisole. About 80% of the time that is what you'll find me wearing at the house. I LOVE those things. And pj shorts. There is nothing more comfortable. Support and comfort? Who knew!

                                Yep!

                                Baggy leggings and old shirts for me - comfort is very important. I run when I see someone come to the door though!
