We are all guilty of it. At one time or another everyone has left the house in clothes that they had been lounging around in. While some are worse than others (please don’t tell me you go outdoors in your bunny slippers!), when it is just a short trip to the store, what is the point in changing? Well, I am a firm believer in that we should all put our best face forward. Who knows who you may see out, or what may pop up along the way. And as much as I hate to say it, people do judge books by their covers.
With a few simple additions to your wardrobe, or thinking about your outfit in a slightly different way, none of us will be guilty of leaving the house in sweat pants again!

♥ Accessories are key. Keep the outfit simple at the house, but throw on some jewelry, a hat, or some stockings to pull the outfit together before heading to the market.
♥ Loose fitting cotton dresses are a dream. They are comfortable enough to veg out in front of the TV, but nice enough looking that you won’t be embarrassed when spotted out running errands.
♥ Skip the full face of makeup. A little mascara works wonders, doesn’t weigh your face down, and takes minimal time to apply.
♥ Shoes can change an entire outfit. Some cute ballet flats almost always look more fashionable than sneakers, and are just as comfy if you aren’t planning on running a marathon.
♥ A quick tousle of the hair is all that is really necessary. Bed head is sexy, and almost always looks better than a ponytail. Not that there is anything wrong with ponytails, but more often than not (at least for me, when I had long hair) ponytails happen out of laziness, and that is not one look worth going for.
