MY SECRET WARDROBE

[blinks]

i'll let you in on my secret wardrobe of 'house clothes'. they are destined never to be seen outside the confines of my house.

1. old man's dressing gown with frayed cuffs and non matching belt (i own a lovely silky one also but wearing it makes me feel tense).

1. faded grey lounge trousers that could easily accomodate a full term pregnancy. am very much not pregnant.

1. comedy t-shirt. from spain.

1. mystery jumper that i have no recollection of buying or receiving from anyone. it's damn ugly but oh-so-comfy.

1. cheapo tesco fake uggs (oh the shame).

is it just me and do you all waft around wearing (overpriced) Boden slacks...?

Blinks, they are very stretchy. The only thing that lets them down is the pin stripe goes across the belly as opposed to vertical on the legs. I've repaired then once and need to darn a small hole on one of the legs .

ByThePowerOfGreyskull,blinks- I think I got them from Mothercare, although it sounds like Dilettante might have a similar thing from Sloggi. They must hold the big ones too cos my norks were humungous when I was pg.

I've also got a couple of vest tops with 'hidden support' bits in (although no idea where they came from, they're so old).

Mumhadenough the grey Ikea pjs are the most comfortable thing ever. I have 2 pairs & change into them as soon as I get in. Rather long trousers though, no?

Also wear the shirt dp was wearing when we met & I kept because I'm soppy .

My bra goes as soon as possible. After a year of bfing I still can't find a proper bra I like. My boobs hang low & wobble to & fro and make me feel old & saggy .

post feeding booboes are a whole different ballgame aren't they... i used to have lots of lovely balcony bras but now they all dig in and barely contain my breasticles.

My boobs were fab after a while when I'd stopped feeding my Ds...I don't think my luck is going to run good twice though

I'm sorry ladies, I really cannot find a link to Ikea jammies! I'm glad monkeysmama was here to back me up though lol, as otherwise they may look like a figment of my imagination.

Monkeysmama yes the legs are definitely long, guessing you're a short ass like me then!

They're only about £9 a pair too, a bargain. You can find them in the "Ikea Family" section.

I love my wardrobe of shame:

Several pairs of jersey pyjama bottoms, often embellished with toddler snot.

Various t-shirts washed to geriatric threadbare perfection, advertising such things as the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.

An Emirates First Class pyjama jacket (charity shop buy - I regret to say I have never flown First).

A moth-eaten cashmere cardigan my dad bought for me in China 20 years ago. The buttons have tooth marks from my cat that died 8 years ago. It's classic.

I have actually told DH that should I pre-decease him, I would like to be buried in my slobby clothes. No point lying there for eternity in an uncomfortable suit. Bet he would choose the cardigan for me and keep the Emirates jacket for himself

I have more of a lack of wardrobe of shame. As soon as I'm home for the day I fling the bra and lose the trews. Can't bear to be wearing more than pants and a fitted top for housework and general pottering. If the doorbell rings I have to race around flinging on clothes before seeing who it is.

I always mumsnet in my pants .

i feel you huff.

you can also get more food in whilst wearing pants.

Mens boxer shorts to sleep in and for lolling when it's hot. NOt, I hasten to add, the cool sexy boxers, but the £4 for 3 pairs cotton, semi tight ones from M&S. Honestly the most comfortable thing to sleep in even if they do look absolutely ridiculous.

DH takes it well!

it's 3 in the afternoon and I'm currently wearing a grannyish - zip-up-fleece dressing gown with flowers on it

and my ginormous tits are not strapped in either

I'm a fox me

Huffwardly, the fact that you specify a fitted top for lounging betrays your high standards If you were really feeling the shame you'd be wearing pants and a sagging Global Hypercolour tshirt or a batwing jumper with holes in it

anyone think it's worth investing in some spiffing loungewear then if no-one sees it besides immediate family?

would one regress back to shitty apparel anyway? (went all posh there)

I have a pair of purple fleecy trousers that have their own fan club amoung my friends. Also big enough to accomodate a full term pregnancy and seemingly indestructable- I've had them about 7 years There's not many a friend who has slept over drunk and not ended up wearing the trusty fleecies. I will never part with them

Oh lordy, and a t shirt that was a christmas present with www.newsgroper.com/files/post_images/hasselhoff.jpg this picture on the front

Arf!

I bought some Calvin Klein lounge wear & it's just not as comfortable as my Ikea gems or old stuff. Far more appropriate for lounging with company though. And the Ikea trousers are just long-I'm pretty tall & have long legs (& an unusually small torso ) and they hang a bit depending on my footwear choice.

I have some Hasslehoff "don't mess with the Hoff" pants bought in a dodgy 80#s style london nightclub that I sleep in

OMG Littlelamb, thats awful! rofl I think you win!

Surely my stuff is not that bad??? I can't be the winner of this little competition. My (23 year old) friend has a strange blanket thingy (so strange I can't even get a result on google for it) that poppers up into a full length cape with arm holes Tis floral and she bought it for 50p from a jumble sale. Not that is hideous

O MY EYES!!

Sorry Littlelamb, I'm afraid your Hoff T shirt still hurts my eyes more. But nice try! roflmao

If you could get those fleece capes with the picture of the Hoff on them, I think that would be the ne plus ultra of slob wear.

littlelamb, is it the slanket?

O.My.Lord
That's just not right, but I kind of want one
I asked her again about it and she said it might be called an armchair buddy. But google is still proving fruitless.
