lounging clothes, three graces london linen caftan

I make an extra effort every time I get back home at the end of the day to not slip into a non-acceptable although extremely comfortable sweatpants.  I always try to wear chic lounging clothes in the house.  I usually wear a nice long skirt with a tank top and a cardigan in the winter and kaftan or cotton jersey dress in the summer.

When we relocated to Dublin, Ohio, I made two promises to myself, one to never catch myself in a mall or anywhere outside the house for that matter, wearing sweatpants and two never to use a drive-thru.  I can happily say I’ve kept those promises so far.  It’s easy to let go of yourself for the sake of comfort, but lounging clothes don’t have to look like you are ready for bed.  Actually, most of this selection below will also be suitable to make a quick emergency run to the supermarket.

one dress three ways

Lately, I’ve been searching for a dress for an evening event when I realized that I have a bunch of them in my closet.  From cocktail dresses to evening ones and it’s perfectly ok to wear them more than once.  Besides many of the clothes we buy that we wear for public events, we end up not taking them out of the closets as often as we’d like.  That’s a waste.  That made me think how great it would be if we got to style the same frock for different occasions.  Here are three different looks using the same dress that will give you the power to go from work to cocktail hour to even brunch.  One dress three ways which you can also accessorize with some of these well-priced shoes.
