Comments on: Fall Wardrobe: Three Levels of Leisure http://betweenmypeers.com/2008/09/25/fall-wardrobe-three-levels-of-leisure/ from the bottom of the fashion food chain, a conversation about what to wear.

Certainly today, wearing my dark green tee with the pleated neckline, jeans, cordovan oxfords and suede jean jacket, I am dressed in everyday casual AND I am every bit as comfortable as I would be in something beat up and scruffy. But I feel immensely more presentable. My biggest worry when it comes to my true leisure clothes is ruining them with paint or bleach or something. I think I just need to loosen my grip a little. ;) This is another one of those things I wonder how we end up thinking the way we do.

I like to think of casual clothes like a block of apartments, they can be a Chyrsler building, or they could be Housing commission Keep them fresh and in good shape.

And that's a fabulous everyday style for our neck of the woods, isn't it? Mrs MK - That's so interesting! Maybe you want to explore Eddie Bauer? Polly - that look would definitely work for our scenario. (Unfortunately, that look doesn't work for me at all, EVER.) Thanks for throwing out an idea. Would you be worried about getting paint on your nice clothes? I wonder if I can just reserve some of my better, but worn, leisure items for painting in. I know it's supposed to wash out, but there are watercolors with staining pigments. And I will soon begin working on theatre sets again, which means probably two days a week in painting clothes.

I'm 42, about a size 12, and have vowed not to wear knit yoga pants out of the house, as comfy as they are. I'll leave that to my 15yo daughter.

Everything feels too dressy for Saturday mornings like that! But I wish I had the outdoor leisure look!! What is funny is I have no clothes that are casual like these!
