Comfy vs. Schlumpy

April 15th, 2008

I write a lot of posts about ‘comfortable’ clothing, since it truly is important that things fit well and feel good against my skin. Despite this, I never want to end up looking comfy, as I was told I did this morning when I walked into the office. Yes, I happen to be wearing a sports bra under my long-sleeved shirt, and my sweater more closely resembles a cape than a fitted cardigan, but that was certainly not my intention. I’ve decided that in order to feel the part, rather than look it, I need to be conscious of too many loose-fitting articles of clothing. Next time I decide to wear my wide-leg pants, I’ll be pairing them with something more along the lines of Grace Sun’s Oversized Sweater Cardigan. Though it’s long and cozy, it has intricate features, including front pockets with buttons and ribbed edges so I will no longer be mistaken for someone who forgot to change out of her pajamas.

    I think we all have schlumpy days, though I do think that in some kids of weather it’s excusable..
