I'm such a princess but then bub hasn't arrived yet so let's see how long it lasts! The more heavily pregnant I get, the more comfortable I wanna be but I still CAN'T bring myself to wear trackies out. And I think DF would unengage me if I wore uggs out!!

But it's make-up every day for me - not a full face but ALWAYS concealer, bronzer, eye make up and lip gloss. And I really enjoy this routine because it makes me feel human so I'm willing to bet money that it continues after birth! I'll be made up in hossy, guaranteed!

But I am concerned about the spewing/spilling issue at home. Do they make adult bibs??

Normally I try to stay away from trackies....promised myself when I became a SAHM that I wouldn't fall into the trap. So the tackies only go on if it's cold and I'm off to gym. So my 'uniform' is cargos/jeans and a top of some description.

That is 'normally'.........

At 35 weeks preganant, I am running out of things that fit, so if there is nothing going on I tend to stay in my PJs (Peter Alexander too). I even shower and put them back on. Occasionally I will wear trackies and a top of DHs. If I am leaving hte house it's jeans/cargos and a top. Wahtever's clean and confortable.

I can't wait to be able to go out and do some real shopping after this bub is born.

I ALWAYS get dressed...usually after the biggies have left for school. I've found that if I don't, I don't feel good about myself. Also, my pyjamas then get stained or wet on the sleeves, which I don't like, rofl.
Usually I wear jeans or cords in winter, and always try to stay warm. In summer, I live in shorts or a short skirt and a t shirt!

This sounds mad... although I don't wear sequins and my best tops every day, getting changed 3-4 times a day jic of a spew seems so time-consuming. If DS really goes to town messing me up then I change, butwouldn't wear clothes I didn't want to be seen in jic.

My makeup is just eyeliner, lippy and mascara, done in 2 seconds but worth it.

Well honestly its only been in the past 6 months that i've had the luxury of having that bit of time to do my makeup/hair and put on nice clothes to leave the house, before this point i was lucky to have a shower and brush my teeth, i literally didn't have the time. But people are certainly right when they say it gets easier after the first year.

I also agree that i feel better about myself when i do get dressed rather than staying in pjamas all day, but if i'm having a difficult day i just go with the flow!

I wear yoga pants at home... and I wouldn't dream of leaving the house in them... unless of course I am staying in the car - Eg: Picking the kids up from school.

Otherwise, it is jeans and a nice jumper/long sleeved top... or long skirts and tops.

**Berry** · July 10th, 2007, 08:15 PM

comfy stretchy maternity pants - often black, and a comfy top, and fluffy pink slippers!

**maddysmummy** · July 10th, 2007, 08:21 PM

if im home its trackies and a jumper but not till i have a shower about 10.30ish but always put some make up on(you never no who will pop around!!)and just tie my hair up.. if im going out then its my nice clothes like jeans or skirt etc and make plus good hair..

**mbear** · July 10th, 2007, 08:28 PM

LOL - im a bit of a princess too....my DH is home most days (does shift work) and i like to look 'presentable' .......even the days he's not home. I will always put bronzer or foundation on and a bit of mascara. I always wear something that i would be seen up the shops in......

**Caz1971** · September 12th, 2007, 08:49 PM

I work in an office, so as soon as I get home, off with the bra and on with my pj's.
I envy those who do not need to wear a bra for support...grrrhhh!

hmm my day works a bit differently!

Stay in pjs until i get a chance to shower (usually late morning when ds has nap), then i put on "house clothes". I wear this until we are going out - at which point i change in to something better which would be jeans, pants, dress, skirt - whatever. I'll wear that while out, then when i get home, i put my house clothes back on! Basically because i don't want any of my clothes i'd wear out to get stained/soiled from cleaning, feeding etc so i put the stuff i dont care about back on.

I don't wear make up around the house, i only wear it if i'm going out somewhere nice - either to catch up with friends or out for lunch. But if i've put it on and i'm back at home i don't take it off. I style my hair every day, but this is only a recent thing because i've got a haircut which needs styling, but its very easy so doesn't take long.

OMG you just described my everyday. We could be twins!!!

**Mum0809** · September 12th, 2007, 10:17 PM

Some days, I wear trackies, t-shirt and DH jumper (can't fit into my jumpers now I pregnant & don't want to buy any now it is spring). On lazy days I have a shower and get back into my pj's. Shocking I know.

**Lucy** · September 12th, 2007, 10:32 PM

I think I'm a freak.

Don't get me wrong, I don't ever look "dressed up", but whether we are at home all day or out and about, I still get up before the kids so I can have a shower/get dressed/make-up on.

I have a "uniform" of sorts......several pairs of well fitting jeans/pants, and a stack of co-ordinating tops. All wash and wear, but all kind of timeless styles too....so things that will last me a few seasons that I know I like.....and nice shoes/boots. I am a bit of a fan of nice footwear to make me feel "up".

I am usually grotty by the end of the say, but it all comes out in the wash, and I like to feel good at the start of the day..........

Occasionally on a Saturday when DH gives me a lie in I will come downstairs in my robe and no make up & unshowered and Olivia says "Oh Mummy, are you sick?!" LOL!!
