We even had a period of time where staff were wearing tracksuits to the office, but thankfully that seems to have gone out of vogue and I notice people are putting themselves together a bit more these days.<br /><br />My go-to running errands outfit includes jeans, a tee shirt and some Converse or slip-on shoes. Wearing sweats in public just feels undressed to me.Susan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16005855250089328310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4185133934790891461.post-41936662757228148672010-11-05T12:46:34.821+00:002010-11-05T12:46:34.821+00:00Lol!

I don't have any tracksuits, I just can't rock that look, I did have one to wear after a major operation and had to wear it more or less for two months! After two months I was sick of the sight of it! I've stopped saving my clothes for 'best' and have started wearing them for my trips to the shop, so its SJP-style all the way for me!CameronPoe2409https://www.blogger.com/profile/13686916250029124773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4185133934790891461.post-48566283960389294682010-11-05T12:29:55.444+00:002010-11-05T12:29:55.444+00:00Dear Kate, I loved this post!

I always dress up properly to go shopping in the West End as I know you are treated completely differently. <br /><br />Even If I'm just popping out locally I always have make-up on and a smart coat. I have occasionally been known to nip out in (unidentifiable) pyjamas with a coat over the top but no one would notice. I put lipstick and eyeliner on to go to the corner shop, I don't want to frighten anyone! xxChristina @ Fashion's Most Wantedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06583201549332262341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4185133934790891461.post-45758152853547660602010-11-05T12:15:14.852+00:002010-11-05T12:15:14.852+00:00I love your blog, but it's time to leave Colee...I love your blog, but it's time to leave Coleen alone.

I can't understand it, no matter how hard I try. I am not part of that gang. Pj's are for the house.

It's probably a good thing but it does make me feel a bit OTT in a Victoria Beckham way. And I have been known to test new outfits on trips to Sainsbury's. Last year their checkout staff saw a lot of my leopard print coat!<br /><br />And you're so right on SJP. She knows how to do casual comfort without looking like a mess.
