House of Farrer: What Not To Wear - Even on Christmas Break

We're just getting back from Christmas break and fashion has not exactly been a priority for us lately. We have spent lots of time in our pj's and we may or may not have scaled back our bathing and teeth brushing routines just a bit. We take our breaks seriously folks. After my last What Not To Wear post I mentioned that I would be back with more the next time I cringed when I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror. Well, it happened. Let's talk about What Not To Wear out in public even during Christmas break.

This is the outfit I wore to run errands last Saturday. Errands that involved me getting out of the car, walking myself into various retail establishments, and making contact with members of the general public. I had spent the morning cooking breakfast, doing laundry, cleaning the floors, and dressing the taters. Before I knew it everyone but me was ready to leave. I hopped in the car without a thought to what I was wearing. Not only did I go out in public like this but I tested an elliptical machine while Brent looked at weights in a sports store. Must have been quite a sight! I didn't notice until later that evening how crazy I looked. My self pics are terrible so I also had the taters try to take some full length pics of me. This is the only one that turned out semi ok. I looked a little pregnant/bloated in most of the others. I think it was just the angle...definitely the angle. Haha.

T-Shirt: Hand me down from my old neighbor. It is old, very pilly, over sized, and major comfy.

Navy Sweater: This is actually a cute piece I snagged from sisters closet at some point. It just prefers not to be worn with sweatpants and a peace sign tee.

Sweat Pants: I bought these on craigslist when I was pregnant with E. I have no idea why I purchased sweats on craigslist, but I did. In the three years I've owned them they have shrunk a bit so they are way too short to wear with tennis shoes. Hence, I chose to tuck them in to my slipper boots. Confession: I have actually "tight rolled" them a few times and worn them with flip flops or TOMS. No Words.

Red Buffalo Plaid Slipper Boots: My mom bought these for me a couple Christmas's ago. They are sort of a cross between slippers and boots. I think the intent is slippers but they have a thick enough sole I can get away with wearing them out and about. I am not saying I should wear them out, but I do. The elastic top also makes them oh so convenient for a girl to tuck her too short maternity sweatpants in to.

Total Cost: $3?!?! I don't really remember how much the sweats cost, but if I paid more than $3 to some girl on craigslist I was robbed.

And just because it makes me laugh...M also had a What Not To Wear moment while shopping with my mom and sister this weekend. He tried on skinny jeans. I guess he is proof that just because you're skinny it doesn't mean you can wear skinny jeans!
