what do you wear on Nothing Days?

CamomileTea · 28/01/2007 12:05

On weekends often we do very little

we often go to the library after dd's dance class and get a DVD to watch with popcorn

I have nothing to wear for these occasions. I know this sounds stupid but I have no loungewear

I wear jeans and skirts during the week but don't feel comfy curled up on a sofa in them, not even boyfriend jeans. They just feel stiff and restrictive.

At present I have my tracksuit bottoms on from my gym bag which is sad

I read an article the other day singing the praises of a velour tracksuit which sounds very snuggly but, as DH says, surely a velour tracksuit can Never Be Right?

I want something nice and comfy cosy to lounge in of a weekend but that I can still go out to the shops in without looking like some sad old hag

please

Thanks

Well we are having a nothing day today. I am wearing combats with a nice belt and a fitted grren hoodie. If I gou out I'll wear mt Timberlands and a cap.

I also have clothes for loungeing in but not going out in, these are various trackie bottoms. I do have a velour track suit, but I hardly wear it out!

Thanks

Am currently sporting 10yo "white" dressing gown and nothing else (well, some jewellery)

Thanks

Bright coloured cords?

OR else just stay in your PJs

Thanks

Plain black bootcut tracksuit bottoms. No stripes.

Never Velour, or you will be hunted down and shot by the Righteous.

Thanks

wurlywurly · 28/01/2007 12:18

jammies and my wedding ring (oh and a huge zit on my chin)

Thanks

NappiesGalore · 28/01/2007 12:23

on nothing days, i pick out an ensemble from the pile on the floor which is neither clean (unworn) nor dirty (worn but not smelly or covered in snot/banana/poo) sometimes with comical results.
today is not so bad...

wear pj's till you wanna go out, then throw on jeans if you do. you may be over analysing...

Thanks

sweetheart · 28/01/2007 12:28

On days when I'm staying in tracksuit bottoms and a hoodie will do.

If I'm going out I wear combats with a hoodie my timberland boots and a body warmer

Thanks

pinkchampagne · 28/01/2007 12:33

I'm having a nothing day today & am wearing a skirt, just because it's comfortable. Would normally wear jeans or combats with either a fitted top or a jumper.

Thanks

littlerach · 28/01/2007 12:38

One of those days today and I ma wearing an ancient Gap sweatshirt and jeans.
Scarily, dd1 dressed herself and she is wearing the same a sme! But different colours.

Thanks

Yoga pants and a nice white tee. Will wear denim jacket if I venture out but probably won't as its a bit cold.

Thanks

foxtrot · 28/01/2007 12:44

surely it is wrong to mention tracksuit, velour or otherwise on a style thread?

Thanks

CamomileTea · 28/01/2007 12:49

I thought so fox!

Will start whole thread on this ridiculous article later (when the magazine is on teh shelves; I got it through the post) so you can all cow about it with me

you're all right, I am overthinking.

Nudity seems to be my DCs choice for Nothing Days!
Ooh, what mag was it? I though velour trackies were finished about five years ago?

Thanks

brimfull · 29/01/2007 00:01

H&M do some nice yoga style trousers,that's what I wear on nothing days or in the evenings,don't tumble dry them though or you'll look as ridiculous as I do right as they shrink

Thanks

kittylette · 29/01/2007 00:05

i wear my 'pj cotton bottoms' and a comfy tight fitted tshirt, just something 'cute' from newlook, ect - with a hoodie

Thanks

hunkermunker · 29/01/2007 00:06

Nothing, if it's hot.

More if it's cold.

If I'm staying in though, I don my spiderman suit.

Thanks

hunkermunker · 29/01/2007 00:06

I got some gorgous yoga pants with a matching itmes from TK Maxx this week, very comfy I might even wear them when we fly to florida.

If I am not leaving the house I wear pyjamas or yoga pants.

Thanks

PinkTulips · 29/01/2007 00:10

i stay in my trackie bottoms in the house and pop on jeans if forced to go outside.. then change back in the house... can't stand being uncomfortable at home!

Thanks

JanH · 29/01/2007 00:11

I have yoga type trousers too, ggirl - mine have to be from Long Tall Sally and even so are a bit flappy around the ankle if I do wear them outside, with shoes, but sooo comfortable. And baggy lineny ones in the summer.

I find the whole concept of loungewear quite scary - belongs with housecoats and hairnets aaaargh.

Thanks

JanH · 29/01/2007 00:12

twinset, what is an itmes please?

Thanks

VeniVidiVickiQV · 29/01/2007 00:12

VeniVidiVickiQV · 29/01/2007 00:13

But only if I have thrush

Thanks

VeniVidiVickiQV · 29/01/2007 00:13

They're only cheep ones though.

Thanks

twinsetandpearls · 29/01/2007 00:13
