As a student and mother of two, alot of my time is spent at home; reading, writing, or doing domestic stuff. With grad classes a once a week thing, and thesis writing a complete at-home task, I added more and more ‘comfort’ clothes to my wardrobe. My partner and children have commented over the winter how my style has fallen to the wayside in favor of yoga pants and hoodies. I always pshawed them, and pointed to the pile of jeans, tshirts and dress pants sitting on top of my dresser.
For Mother’s Day, I asked for a clothesline so that I could hang out the washing (oh my! … i can’t even justify that without an economic or very ‘mom’ like comment… bah! fresh scent of the city sun!! I did get a great range/speed booster wireless router for mothers day as well). Only today, as I hung out a load of dark clothes (almost all we own in this house between the four of us) did I realize that I really do own too many pairs of yoga pants, and the matching black hoodies are almost embarrasing to hang out for all to see! Which makes me wonder, does anyone else in my alleyway scrutinize the array of hanged laundry, trying to picture who lives where and just how stylish they are? Or is it just me?
