I change my clothes after I've been out to a) preserve my attire for another day and save some money on laundry and to b) to get comfortable, since my at home clothes are far more relaxing than my out of the house clothes.

Please make note: I do not own nor will I ever own a pair of sweats or sweat pants. A hoodie is pushing it.

My stay in day clothes are very relaxing, but they are still in good condition and can be worn out of the house in an emergency, like if I have to run to rescue a friend or family member (from a minor emergency) or if I have to take myself or a family member to the hospital.

My stay in day clothes are also presentable enough for company, but not nearly as nice as the ladies wear on my favorite soap operas (pumps just don't work when doing the laundry).

When I leave the house, I always try to dress as if opportunity may knock. Since I own my own business I AM my brand (as opposed to renting my "brand" from Avon or Tupperware, etc.) so it is very important that I always present my "brand" in a positive, uplifting manner (no matter how I am feeling). That means I cannot be caught dead in "casual" clothes.

I've already compromised on my hair, and my make-up. I have to draw the line at my clothes. Look at it this way: now that I am not wasting so much time doing my hair and make-up, I can spend more time looking fabulous in what I wear.

I'm jus' sayin'...
