Open to Interpretation: Sloppy Chic

(100% of the credit for the post title goes to Kendi's pin)

Welcome to another round of Open to Interpretation.

This week's pic was my pick ... behold:

And here's my interpretation ... behold again:

if I don't cross my arms I look like an ape .... arms just dangling without purpose and the pockets on these pants are fake -- 1 mm deep -- and offer my danglers exactly zero shelter.

I really wanted the blazer to work but in my line of work with today's schedule of events (staying home, running gross diapers outside, staying home some more, and running a trash bag full of saturated diapers outside) it didn't.

Sometimes I struggle (struggle? let's not be melodramatic, Grace) with staying in my comfortables all day versus getting dressed in public-worthy duds. I know probably every mom that mostly stays home during the day feels similarly (or, I'd guess?) but I think outfits like this give me less of an excuse to stay in the yogas and a fresh/not so fresh v-neck day in and day out. It's just as comfortable as my sleeping clothes and won't make me peek just my head out when someone comes to the door (rarely happens but ... today could be the day).

Well, now that I've gone and gotten all deep and introspective on you .. I'll ship you off to greener pastures by way of Kayla and Erica. They're a lot more fun, I promise.
