Sweats > Jeans

 

I am all about being comfortable.  I choose sweats over jeans ANY DAY.  When I wake up in the morning shivering, thanks to the wonderful Provo weather, who can blame me for wanting to go to school in my warm pajamas?  It is times like these were I miss pajama day.  I slowly climb out of bed, only to get into a shower that stays warm for five minutes, if I am lucky.  So after waking up cold and then taking a cold shower, I have to mentally prepare myself for what comes next: picking out an uncomfortable outfit.  No wonder I am not a morning person. Once prepared, I proceed putting on those tight, dreadful jeans.  Guys are lucky; their jeans are roomy.  Putting on jeans can be a difficult task, especially recently-dried jeans.  Once you have both legs in, you have to put your fingers through the belt loops and hope and down to get them on.  If they are still too tight, you practically have to do yoga to stretch them out.  The beautiful thing about sweats is that you just put one let in and then the other and poof! Life is ten times easier.  I'll admit, jeans aren't that bad once you have been wearing them for a few hours.  But still.  When I get home from wherever I am, I have to force myself to stay in my presentable clothing.  Sometimes I can lounge around my apartment for a few hours wearing my jeans but other times I don't last very long.  However, changing into comfy clothes has some downfalls as well.  I kid you not, the second I put my grungy, baggy clothes on someone decides to come to my apartment.  Time is cruel.  Maybe it's a sign or something, telling my to wear cute clothes more often.  Sometimes, I will wear a scarf with my sweatpants and t-shirt just to feel somewhat presentable.  My aunt once told me that you should never even go check the mail with out a good outfit.  I laugh when I picture myself walking to the mailbox in a blazer and heels.  That is never going to happen.  To clarify, I am not saying cute clothes are awful.  I like looking cute as much as anyone else.  I am not some lazy lady who only sits around eating Cheetos while watching re-runs of Friends....well, I do watch re-runs of Friends but that's unimportant.  At the end of the day, comfort is the main goal.
