Am sure it's been done to the death, but what do SAHM's/WFHM's wear if not jeans?

Am so sick of jeans, my idea of having a smarter day is the only skirt I own, with knee boots, but, even that's made out of denim.

Oh I don't iron unless it is do or die, so lovely linen type trousers are 100% out of the question, and I don't do anything even remotely sporty-ish type unless I am actually doing anything sporty-ish!

I have ideas of dresses over leggings etc, but everytime I try a combination on, it just doesn't feel right, and at 5ft 6 and a size 12/14 top, 14/16 bottom, I am a bit short and stumpy to look anything like what I want to look like in a dress and leggings combo!

I need help, damn it, I need MN! (And some new boobs/smaller tummy, but that's a different thread....)

Salvolotile, I am (despite what I said a couple of months ago here) doing leggings, but I can't bear to wear them with flats/shoes as I think that it emphasises my plentiful norks and thighs.

However, with knee-length boots and a tunic etc leggins look great and I feel more dressed up in them than in jeans.

Go for it Salvolatile!
I have a 60 yr old friend who wears them wonderfully!
