plus-size-sweatpants-at-work-1Today I 100%, most definitely did not want to leave my bed. No I wanted to remain nestled there and loved by the warm comfort of my down duvet and the pup plastered against my body. Gosh, I love having a canine portable heater. It’s the best. So good in fact that the idea of taking a shower and putting on pants or a skirts or a dress seemed all too much today. Simply, too much.

Morning Showers Are the Worst

So I begrudgingly got up. Annoyed, I brushed my teeth and forced my once warm body into the bipolar trenches of the morning shower. First you’re coddled in warmth only to emerge to a frigid burst of air with only a stupid towel to improve the situation. Oh yes, here’s a semi-moisture absorbing piece of fabric, that’s going to solve all your problems. Like my fifth grade self would say, “NOT!”

Rules Breaker, Sweat Pants Wearer

With black streaks floating across my face- remnants of make up I was too lazy to remove before slumber- I made a decision. Screw being an adult; I’m wearing sweatpants to work. I work in a big kid office, with fancy meetings and free snacks. But even so, some days you just got to push the boundaries and rock some fleece dungarees. So with elastic around my waist and fabric cuffs around my ankles, I marched defiantly out of my home towards the office.

A Surprising Response

Crossing through the double glass doors that separate the world of flirting and cocktails from meetings and thoughtful insights, I felt like a bad ass. Look at me suits, I’m wearing sweatpants. I see you chinos, I’m rocking joggers. What up pencil skirt, these pants are made of fleece. In fact, I walked in so cool, composed and confident no one noticed. In fact, I had to walk around and announce to several people, “Look! Guys! I wore sweatpants to work! I’m such a rebel!” Silence. “Look! Swwwweaaat Pannnnts.” Their response? ” Oh that’s nice, I didn’t notice. They’re just pants.”

Today I learned I can wear sweat pants everyday to work and no one will notice. Life changing.

These Wet Seal cargo joggers are refined by pairing them with a Torrid camp shirt in a coordinating plaid. I topped the punchy tartan shirt with a whimsical cardigan from Modcloth, complete with cool dragon back decal. To accessorize I added a neck tie (stolen from another shirt), a fun “boss lady” pin from Party With Allison and my trusty beat and very abused, but oh so comfy, brogues.
