Don't people care about how they look in public?

[bainsidhe]

Hahahahahaha. Pajama pants? You bet. I'll even go in my nightgown (I wear it with my flannel pants since my apt is chilly). Of course, this means I tuck the gown up under my winter coat so others don't realize and you would see I'm wearing pajama bottoms like so many other people do. It's really just me being lazy. If I'm making a quick run to the store or for a bit of drive thru/takeout, I don't want to bother getting dressed properly. And also to heck with brushing or makeup. If it's a bad hair day, I'll maybe put on a headband, but otherwise to hell with it. I'm not trying to impress anyone and I'm not going to work. So there.

Irv, I always keep Magic Erasers on hand because I have made my sink absolutely filthy before by taking makeup off....I actually think eyeliner and mascara make a bigger mess than the cover up does.

Every few days I just wipe one all around the sink, and it's white again. But that damn mineral makeup gets all over everything......it's really messy, that's for sure.

Ok, I'm guilty of walking out with my pajama pants, but my pajamas are sweat pants, except for a pair of guy's Guitar Hero pajama pants. I'll go to Wal-Mart,school,to get food, or to the SO's house. However, I make it look nice. I wear a shirt that fits me nicely and my hair is always neat. No makeup. I barely wear it. Even in my avatar, the only make up I wore was lipgloss.

My reasoning is usually because my tummy hurts and wearing jeans makes it worse, I'm bloaty from PMS (tmi, I know, but hey!), or I know that I will be spending an in day with the SO. He loves it when I dress comfy. He tells me I am beautiful even in comfy clothes.

...belly hanging out of this tight, tight t-shirt, in ripped up shorts where it looked like he was turning into the Incredible Hulk or something, and flip flops that were falling apart....

I absolutely hate when overweight people insist on wearing skintight clothing or having their belly hang out. I've got a bit of one but guess what? I *gasp* WEAR CLOTHES THAT ARE THE RIGHT SIZE so it doesn't show!!!

I've gone out in my pyjamas before. Granted, I was hungover, and all I was doing was going out to the corner shop cause I was out of yoghurt-

However, I was also makeup free, apart from the panda eyes that always happen to me after a night out no matter how long I spend taking my makeup off, wearing stompy boots and a long coat.

I don't get it, there is a difference between comfy and casual and downright minging. If I want to be comfy and casual and not make an effort I will wear a cotton tea and some comfy trousers, not go out in my pj's with full makeup.

God, modern fashion depresses me. Where's the glamour? Where's the style?

Honestly I think she was only doing it because she didn't want my wife & I to see her without makeup, and it was her first vacation with her boyfriend without his or her parents along too. (At the time we were 21 she was 18)

An EIGHTEEN YEAR OLD is terrified of being seen without makeup? At a time when her natural beauty is at its height?! That's either some major vanity or serious brainwashing by the ad agencies.

You're a human being, not a Barbie Doll. Nobody expects absolute perfection 100% of the time. Relax, enjoy a makeup-free day once in a while!

I have seen people in full on Pj's and rollers coming into my big box store. But the worst thing, the very worst thing I have ever seen... Was when a lady came in wearing one of those well cover ups made out of extra large bandannas. And ass shorts. She really really really should not have been wearing them. Cottage chesse and streach marks as far as the eye could see.

See, I never go outside the house in anything other than jeans, shorts, and a clean (or at least mostly clean if I'm gonna be at work, and can cover up a small stain with my vest) shirt. And either proper shoes/boots or my sandals in warmer weather.

I've only once worn my pajama pants and slippers outside the house. The pants once when I was going to the BK Lounge for lunch and used the drive-thru. The slippers when I was going to pick up food at Baja Fresh. I walked in, paid for the food, took it out to the car, and drove home.

Apart from that, I have occasionally foregone shaving on my usual shaving days, but solely as an expedience to time. I was late for work, and figured as long as I smelled like I'd showered, I'd be okay.

I've occasionally gone out for a quick errand in my PJ pants. There's only 2 I will go out in public though, my plain black ones (which can sort of pass for regular pants), and my Leopard print (which surprisingly goes good with a few of my tops).

I usually only either do that because A) my stuff is in the laundry or B) I'm going back to bed soon after I get home, in which it's kinda silly to put on some jeans only to take them off an hour later.

I've been known to make a quick run to the nearby Litter Box wearing sweatpants and sweatshirt if it's early in the morning and I've not been out of bed long.

I do brush my hair and wash my face before leaving the house though . . . and I'll cover up my sweats with my long green trenchcoat.

But bedroom slippers . . . absolutely not. They stay home and I'm wearing my Nikes. I try to show some decency about how I look.

Unless it's going to be half a day of running errands, in which yes I do wear my makeup and fix my hair as an added bonus - wouldn't want to scare everyone too much.

I admit it... I do the pajama thing. Usually when I am sick or had a really bad day and just don't give a damn. But I go with brushed teeth, hair and I don't smell like hell either. I don't ever wear makeup and who am I trying to impress anyway? My fiance goes out in his pajamas sometimes too lol

It probably looks tacky but I'm talking about like going to walmart at like 2am and things like that. Or a quick run into our little itty bitty "grocery" (I use the term loosely) store for some water or something.

Sunday my wife & I looked like hell when we were out and about.

My mother called saying her truck was stuck in her field and could I come help my Dad get it out.

So we ran out of the house.

After the truck was de-stuck we did the shopping we had planned to do that day. (New dishwasher, yay!) still dressed as we were when we left the house for the mud hole.

Both of us felt a little ashamed about it though.

[PepperElf]

i usually don't wear makeup myself... i'm lazy! i have it i mean and it's good stuff... i just dont usually feel like wearing it.


but my thing really is... my socks.
if it's something special (like i'm wearing heels or going to church) my socks will match my outfit. any other time... all bets are off!

not just like wearing tan socks with black pants... i'm taking Christmas socks in the spring. The socks usually match each other tough... with one exception. I have some christmas socks with little "heads" attached to the tops (dogs, cats, reindeer & snowmen)... i usually wear those mismatched on purpose.

today's sock insanity: tan 511 pants, dark blue stonehenge shirt... socks: my pink St. Patrick's Day socks... yes pink. with green and white clovers. i have a lot of pink socks actually...

i did a little shopping over my lunch break. i ended up in line behind a markedly rotund woman. in and of itself that isn't a problem. you wanna be grotesquely overweight? fine. just spare me the details, ok? but no. she had on this shirt with tiny little ruffle sleeves & too-big arm holes. so i was treated to the sight of the sidewall of her pit stained industrial strength beige brassiere. and she had this big ass purse she was digging, digging, digging through the entire time so i was seeing the above in action. *gag* seriously. do a quick 360 in front of the mirror before you go out in the morning.

[PentUpRage]

OH...I did go out in my pj's once.

I was using my axe maul to split some kindling for the fireplace and the axe slipped and somehow I managed to hit my (gloved) hand with the axe.

Off to the hospital I go, one hand in a bag of ice, very thankful that at that time I owned an automatic. I'm getting bandaged up by a very good looking male nurse and he asks me...so, did we learn anything tonight? To which I replied, yep. No more chopping wood in men's pj bottoms without stitching up suppa fly before leaving the house.
