Are you a shlumpadinka?

If women want to roam the streets in sleepwear (be it lingerie, tank tops, shorty shorts, etc) I have absolutely NO problem with that.

I don't go out in sweats, but I have rolled out of bed into shorts, t-shirt and a baseball hat.... the baseball hat - the great equalizer.

I have shlumpadink times, but for the most part I'm pretty put together when I leave the house.

Here's the problem I have: If I spend more than 19.7 seconds getting cute, my husband says I'm taking too long getting ready. "But I like you natural!" If I go out au natural (not nekkid, just sans makeup & primping), then I'm sloppy. WTF??

Men: You can either 1. allow us more than 15 minutes to get ready without pissing & moaning that we're being vain

OR

2. revel in our makeup-free gorgeousness.**

**this requires NOT remarking on the hotness of any Halle Berry/ Cameron Diaz / Keira Knightly hotness when they have the benefit of ten assistants working twenty straight hours applying thousands of dollars of make-up to make them look "natural".

I like jeans and tanks,and i am also guilty of walking the dog in PJ's and my dog is not embarrassed yet so,but i try to always look presentable when i go out,unless its a quick wawa trip.

After many years in the corporate world I can no longer tolerate pantyhose or heels. They remind me of the torture I endured dressed as such. My current job dress code is perfect- jeans, t-shirts or polos and tims. Life is good! I have no hair ability- why worry about that, my mother always says I have hair like a saint- bernard dog. Alrighty then. Makeup I could go either way with that excuse - I can lie "can't improve on perfection" or the truth "no use paintin' a bad fence", so why bother there. I try to leave the house clean and unwrinkled and that is the best I have to offer so praise God for it. I have known chicks who doll it up- I have always felt there was no need to try to impress people with clothes and just ruin it with attitude!!

I wouldn't say I'm a shlumpadinka.....however, I just never understood the need to wear high heels to the grocery store or Walmart. Yes, you should look nice wherever you go, but high heels? That just looks uncomfortable and unnecessary to me.

Uhhh...are bunny slippers slumpadinkish??? Just kidding. I tend to dress appropriately for the occasion, no heels on my morning walk and no sweats to church. I try to do five minute face when I'm running errands but it doesn't always happen.

I guess it just depends on how you are. I wear heels.... a LOT. Like I would guess somewhere between 80 - 90% of the time. I am comfortable in them. Now I'm not talking my black patent leather stiletto's.. but I am talking about boots with 3 and 4" heels and sandles with the same. For me slipping on my Tommy sandles with jeans and a tank is normal... I wear my flip flops too but no where near as often. I will actually take my daughter to the park and put my sneakers in the car and change into them at the park and put my sandels back on when I get in the car. To me they are comfortable.

I wear my husbands t-shirts and sweatshirts to bed/lounging around the house that he doesn't wear or want anymore...they are so comfortable!

I try to be put together as often as possible. I dress appropriately for work; business casual, and when I'm just going shopping, it's shorts & a tank or jeans and a t-shirt depending on the weather. If my hair won't go right, it's in a pony tail!

I'm a T-shirt, jeans and sandals type of gal, unless it's a special occasion or a meeting I have for work. Oh, and I can't forget about putting on my face before I walk out the door, that's what I tell my kids (it's eyeliner and mascara, LOL).
