What I Wore While I Cleaned the House

I started reading Tina’s blog, T Minus T Plus, and immediately became jealous of her clever titles. She uses amusing subtitles like “What I Wore After the Sun Attacked My Blouse” and “What I Wore While Wishing I Was Still in Bed.” And, because her blog also chronicles her diet and exercise, we also get funny subtitles like “What I Ate from the Office Kitchen” and “What I Did to Get Sweaty While No One Was Looking.”

So, because I’m a total biter, I’m bringing you “What I Wore While I Cleaned the House.” Obviously, in the photo, I’m no longer cleaning the house. This picture is post-cleaning, but this is what I wore to do it.


Sweater, Mossimo (thrifted). Tee, Mossimo (not thrifted). Pants, Old Navy. Camo and faux-cartridge belt, thrifted. Slippers, Wal*Mart. Hairclip, self-made.

I’m pulling up my sweater to show you my awesome belt. The front bit is camouflage print pleather and the back is meant to look like silver bullet casings. I only wish our belts were this cool in the military. Or that I were as cool as Tina.


Enjoying my decaf Vanilla Maple tea before I get down to the disagreeable task of repainting my toenails.

Hey!...that really is a GREAT-looking BELT. --- Oh!...and Thanks!...because I can always count on your blog to be refreshingly honest. --- BTW, since you wrote that you were drinking "decaf Vanilla Maple tea", a sub-title could be, "what I drank before getting down to repainting my toenails." --- Yeah, I know...but it's just a thought :)

This post is too funny. I dare say, I never look that fabulous when doing anytype of chores. Kudos!!

I wear pajamas to clean the house. Then I made fancy aprons, so I'd feel special while cleaning, but I never wear them because it's stupid to wear a frilly apron over frumpy pajamas. But I refuse to clean house AFTER I get ready and dressed.

Wow! You really made my day. Thanks so much for the shout out and the kind words. You are always an inspiration to me, and I am honored to know that you enjoy my blog.

You are amazing - I never look that good when I am cleaning. Like Robyn, I have a tendency to clean in my PJs. But I could totally go for the whole 50s housewife doing it in a frilly apron and rubber gloves. hmmm. I might have to try to make a frilly apron!

I noticed you have a really cool looking sperical star like item on your sofa table. Where did you get it and where did you get the holder it is hanging from? I love both and have been looking for a holder for some time but can not seem to find one where I live.

dmbdreamgirl08 - the star lantern (and its holder) are from Big Lots. I bought them years ago, so I doubt they are still carried there. :(
