What are you wearing today?

I keep finding myself all dressed up with no place to go, so I thought I'd start a thread to show off whatever outfit or fashion piece people are feeling good about and want to share.  I'll go first...

 

(somebody tell that lady to act her age) ?

Why? You look great. Personally, I'm wearing my warm, fluffy pajamas because it's 5:30am and I have nowhere to be today.

 

Hugs!

No one thinks I could ever get to be my age so I don't have to act it.  Enjoy wearing what you want to!!  I just have on a knit pullover and flannel lounge pants.

That's pretty stylish Ann.

I have my "Holly Hobbie" skirt and a nice thick sweater.  I've been too lazy to light a fire.

Should have called this one "Pajama Party".  After all, it is a beautiful autumn Sunday.

I admit, I did my crack-of-dawn grocery shopping, and now I'm back in bed in my most comfy sleeping outfit.  (it's still cute though)

I do think I'm going to keep getting dressed up for teletherapy, so that's at least one outfit per week to figure out.

I managed to get dressed and out for some shopping. I went pretty basic. It's cold, windy and a little rainy today. My thighs seem a little chunkier than I remember.

T-shirt  (loose and billowy), socks and yoga pants. I am NOT venturing out today unless the house catches fire - I have a looming exhibition deadline for a piece of artwork that I have not even started.

Paint me frantic!

Wasn’t feeling the greatest today so I needed up going rather goth/witch with a basic black tshirt and black skirt. And the one time I did go to the store today even my mask was black.

Brilliant thread...we sure have some beautiful ladies with great taste roaming around this place. Wow!

Now we're talking!  You all look so great.  I even like hearing the descriptions without pictures.  I had my outfit all picked out for therapy today, but then I went shopping at Goodwill, so we'll see.

Today my spouse told me that this outfit didn't, well fit. So I got a new look.

OK, so my eyes are closed. It's still a good look for me. ?

She was correct.  For one, the colors are all wrong!   And the slippers don't go with the top.

 

Just my $0.03

As per usual I am wearing a hoodie with shorts. Maybe someone should teach me something about fashion...

 

You're a dude. I think you're on point unless you're dressing up for something. Maybe too cold for shorts (it is here, It was too cold for my leggings if I was going to be outside). You're fine.

Madness! That color combo works fine. The other one (we bought two) might have worked a little better (it's more of a dark lavender), but this one got worn and I didn't want to wash them both this week. I agree about the slippers but it's cold. I put on my ankle boots before I left the house.

PJs. I rarely have to leave my house these days. I don't like going in public anyway and now with pandemic, I don't need an excuse to just stay at home. I love being nice and comfy at home, so I am almost always in my PJs.

@Aidan5 is on the money @Jackie C.. That smile is seriously awesome.

 

Aidan, I don't know if you are serious about diversifying your outfits, but if you are just swap your shorts for jeans and get some geeky t-shirts (relating to your real quirks) and you are all set. I just got a couple long sleeve t-shirts from redbubble I can't wait to wear. I love it when my t-shirts reflect my geekiness.

 

Today I'm working from home, so just black sweats and grey fleece. What can I say, I'm cold.

I get advice from my spouse too @Jackie C.. It's not always welcome but at least she makes me think about not wearing my skirts to short lol.

 

I too am in PJ's at the moment @Mickey. It can sometimes be mid morning before I make a move and get dressed.

      Having just a normal emotional day.
    • Heather Shay
      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.

      Good morning, everyone!!! Two cups of coffee in the books and I am just feeling so wonderful this morning. Not sure why, but I'm happy and smiling.   Enjoy this beautiful day!!!

      Love it! This is great news. We need more of this to combat the excessive hate-filled rhetoric and misinformation. 👍

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.

      Well, at least it'll be a place some folks could choose.  Options are a good thing.

      My family would have gobbled that jar up in a minute or two.  When we do have pickled herring, its usually for Christmas.  I didn't grow up with that particular dish, but I grew up in a Greek family so I like just about any kind of fish if I can get it.  However, ocean fish and freshwater fish taste so different.  We usually have more catfish and tilapia to eat than anything else.    What I can't quite get used to is the tons of cabbage my GF insists on eating.  When you live with a Russian, there is always cabbage soup.  Always.  When I first moved in with her, breakfast was "shchi" for soup and either bread or "kasha" which is a bowl of boiled buckwheat with butter and salt.  Those dishes can be made in any number of ways, some are better than others.  In the winter, it can even be salty and sour like kraut.  Not exactly sauerkraut, but packed in tubs with vinegar and salt so it keeps partially for the winter.  But I drew the line when the cabbage soup included pieces of fried snake one day.  😆

      Good evening to you as well @Mmindy   That is awesome that you have support from her side. My dad has communicated with me once and that was because he was forced to. His new wife wanted to spend time with my kids. He hated me so much he was in the process of taking my rights away as a parent to my two boys. He was talking to a lawyer and I called him out on it. I don't love him at all. I'll respect him because I wouldn't be here without him but I wished I had another father. My uncles don't talk to me and unfriended me on Facebook. Almost all cousins except for two are still Facebook friends but they don't give me any support. My mom said she won't support me with that but she has said that she loves me. I have nieces and nephews that are still Facebook friends but they have yet to talk to me. I have one sister that supports me out of three. The other's disrespect me by deadnaming me. They have never called me their sister. I think for them they think it's still a phase. They don't ask questions about me being trans. I have to bring it up and on the look of their faces they don't look comfortable about it.

      Good evening @Ashley0616,   I just got offline with HP tech support trying to get my printer tool box icon locked to my tool bar. This is one of the most important features of my printer that I like because it keeps track of ink, paper, and scanned documents. I'm diffidently not a computer geek.   I'll catch up with the other bookmarks next week. We leave to go home for the Easter Holiday with our families. Saturday with her side, and Sunday with my side. What's odd about that is I'm out to more of her side and they're reluctantly supportive. My side on the other hand are less supportive, and my sister just under me in age will not acknowledge my being there. She will be constantly moving to keep from dealing with me. I'm dead to her.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
