Sadly, Em has swimming lessons, so now I am showered, primped, and dressed so as to blend in with the Uppity Ann Arbor Moms.

Stupid uppity moms. What do they wear?

I personally think yoga clothes in general, especially on people who have a regular practice, tend to be comfy and form fitting enough and flattering. that doesn't describe me anymore. But it used to.

My sister-in-law (who would not look out of place in the Hard Tail ads) wears leg warmers! Especially during dance class.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Pajamas I'm currently wearing are pink paisley pants with orange elephants around the ankles, and a white tank top with a pink and orange elephant on the front.

I do not have leg warmers. I do have slippers, because my feet get cold in the morning and I really hate the feel of socks.

My officemate keeps wearing shorts with long-sleeved shirts. I say it's weird, because legs get cold before arms do. He says that's how people dress in California. So, Californians, opinion? Is shorts with long sleeved shirts, rather than pants with short-sleeved shirts, typical California wear? And if so, why? Don't your legs get cold?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Also, juliana, have you no slippers?

I despise slippers. And socks. And anything covering my feet once I'm inside. The sweats-over-heels thing is actually a holdover from dance classes (we didn't like legwarmers, for whatever reason).

I'm wearing Batman slipper socks right now, AIFG. Askye gave them to me. I wore them when I was in labor. They're the most useful things in the world for me (I don't like regular slippers). My feet fight crime.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

The Ann Arbor Moms have a very distinguished uniform, of sorts. Comprised mostly of REI, Columbia, or The North Face outerwear, dark, denim jeans or cords, turtleneck sweater with patterned scarf looped around their necks, either Uggs or some other fur lined boots (the crunchier types wear lined Crocs). Hair and make-up is perfect.

I'm a no sock person, too. Yet, once I'm sitting down I have to have something over my feet to keep them warm. It just can't be socks. Unless, I'm in bed and my feet are too cold, then I wear socks. Yeah. I can't really explain it, it just is.

Once Upon A Time, I hated slippers, also. Until I got a pair of Ugg slip-ons. Now, I live in them inside. I put those on the instant I get home.
