I’m the worst fashion blogger in the world. I used totter around on these enormous heels and wear skin tight jeans to my desk job back in 2008. Then I taught at special needs schools for a few years. The grottiest places on earth – I’d come home every afternoon covered in dirt, glitter, glue, paint, pancake mix and a whole lot of other stuff I won’t mention unless you get me drunk enough.
So I basically looked like a homeless farmer for a few years. Now I work for myself, technically back to a desk job, I kind of assumed I’d go all badass business owner with my style but if anything I’ve kind of slipped sideways into sensible-but-trying-to-be-stylish person.

This is my current state of fashion…
– Pretty much everything I buy has to be stretchy. I’ve been roughly the same size for the last decade but I’m just over wearing anything tight. Jersey gal all the way.
– I need to be able to jump a fence/comfortably have a nap in every outfit. I’m inherently an extremely fomo person and if I was wearing high heels when spontaneously everyone decided to go go-karting and I couldn’t do it because of my shoes, I’d be really sad.
– I don’t wear any where near as much black. I’ve been a black lover for my entire life but it’s just not tooting my horn anymore. I haven’t worn head to toe black in about a year. And I like it.
– I must be able to walk all day in every pair of shoes I wear, even if I’m going out for a fancy dinner. I walk everywhere so it’s totally not-negotiable.
– My only weird thing is that I won’t wear yoga pants in real life. I don’t even own yoga pants. When I exercise it’s pretty hardcore so I need to wear super tight skins – yoga pants just fall down when I jump around. When I relax at home I wear Peter Alexander loose PJ pants.
What about you? What’s your go to comfy outfit? Something that feels like a full body ugg-boot?
