    Thanks girls - so many great ideas. Im so inspired to make a bit more of an effort.... hmm, and to check out the apron thread.
    I love wyse too, lived in a pair of their pants last year, but they have finally worn out. I wonder if you can by them online? hmm, I might go have a look.
    Do you find jeans warm? I always thought they weren't really warm so I never wear mine around the house. Im wearing them now though and I guess they are. Strange, don't even know where I got that idea.
    I like the idea of shoes around the house, because our house is quite cold, I always wear socks (big thick wool daggy socks) hehe, and then you never want to go outside because you have to take them off.
    Do uggys count? maybe not.
    Ok, so any recs for where to buy nice: leggings, house shoes, warm tops.
    So I was just thinking I have nothing to wear over leggings but then I realised I do have some summer dresses I could layer over.
    I found a nice wool stretch skirt at country road the other day, but they didn't have my size. That would be great.
    I need to find some sort of supportive, undersinglet to wear instead of a bra. I absolutely cannot wear a bra anymore. Well I do when Im out, but I whip them off as soon as I get home. even sports bras, anything thats tight around under the bust. Please tell me I'm not the only one .
    Anyway, thanks again, off to do some searching.
    Keep the suggestions coming
    xx

    Well, if i'm at home I'm either in jammies or trackies....lol and always slippers or fluffy socks. Maybe that's why I'm always so unmotivated.

    Marlene - you know how you dress up for work - with lippy, hair and nice clothes (or uniform)... Well I believe we have to approach mothering/home economist/engineer in the same way. If you dress up you get motivated...
    Give it a burl tomorrow and I bet you'll feel more motivated...

    I've started dressing up around the house too as part of my action plan to make myself feel better.

    At the moment i'm big in to dresses with skivvies and leggings underneath, comfortable and stylish.

    Dresses i tend to buy designer because they're good quality fabrics and if you buy classic styles they last many seasons. But leggings and skivvies i buy from kmart, best quality for the price (and i've been through all the chain stores comparing).

    I do the same Tan. I looove layering. I find many summer dresses can be worked back with pants, leggings, tights or jeans underneath and a skivvy/vest/cardi...
    Also scarves when you go out always look great and for me the make me feel good too - as well as being warm!
