Weekday vs. Weekend Clothes

Noticing the way people are dressed is not the same as judging the way people dress.

Who said it was? 

Can't we even discuss clothes now without people rubbing each other up the wrong way?!

It probably depends on where you work to some extent, some allow more casual dress than others. Also I think in summer, there is more cross over between work & non work clothes. Now that I'm a stay at home mummy I am still wearing a lot of my previous summer "work" clothes (mostly cotton skirts & cardigans)  but when it gets to winter I know I won't be wearing my nice wool skirts and trousers to chase a toddler around all day.

Where you work geographically, as well as what sort of business you're in. Bingo.

I don't work at all, so half the time I can't even remember what day of the week it is!

Consider it all birthing pains. We're coming into a glorious new era of UKY, there is bound to be discomfort associated with such a wonderful process!

I do notice that people are more dressed up here on weekends.

you guys should have seen the looks i got on marylebone high street when i was running into waitrose one morning when i wasn't working.  I had on my normal USA weekend clothes of a white tight tshirt and track bottoms and flip flops.

all i got was 

hehehe.  that's when i knew i had to make a *bit* more of an effort here in London

Whereas you would have fit right in here on the Chatham High Street!     

but that's Marlebone...if you strolled around to the shop down fifth avenue in NYC you're probably gonna get the same look...If you walked around in US casual wear in Camden town..no one would probably look twice...We walked around Versailles , Paris and even Phil started making an effort to dress up to go get bread from the local bakery...

There was a really cute scenario in Almost French (which I would HIGHLY recommend anyone moving countries read, btw!) where the woman's boyfriend is horrified at her messy, sweatpants outfit that she puts on to run out to the butcher (or maybe the baker, can't remember the exact story) and she asks why it matters since she's just popping out and he tells her "because it's not nice for the butcher." Heehee. I thought that was quite funny.... I sometimes go out in jeans and a sweatshirt, but not too often - usually that's strictly my "around the house" outfit....

heee yeah you guys are right, and i'm in no way saying that would be the same everywhere....i'm just saying where i spend most of my time-i need to look....better

but i still live in nice jeams and trendy tshirts a lot.

yeah my dad was like that ...sweatpants , baggy shirts , things not tucked in ...was such a disgrace..even if you were going to the local shops...he used to get on my mum's case if she went out because we ran out of loo roll or something wearing curlers in her hair.

Hmmm, I only notice the girls with half their shirts missing on the high street, or wherever we go really. 

I'll keep a look out next time I go to the store.

Me, I tend to be as casual as I can.  Now that I am not working, I tend to go for the comfy loose clothes even when I go out.

I just love it when I go to the States and women walk around in what to me look like pajama bottoms or 'house pants' and flipflops. I can't really ever see myself going out dressed like that, but it does have an endearing look to it. Despite what people say, it's always easy to spot the Americans by the way they dress in Europe. This is not a criticism in any direction, just a fact.

Me too!  I never saw so many women's middle sections hanging out, before I moved over here.

I just tend to notice the leopard print dressed one..


there is this woman that obviously makes her clothes and sits at the Coffee Republic ..Jessie keeps asking me if she's a witch...

I used to do this a lot, especially when I lived in Boston and NYC.  Here, I feel strange doing it.  No real reason why.  Might be all that extra skin showing
