Are you a frumpy mom?
I usually like to dress up and look nice when I go out to run errands. Today is not one of those days. I'm wearing my baggy jeans, Giants t-shirt, loafers, and my hair in a bun.
Do you get all dolled up before going out? If so, do you judge moms that look like they rolled out of bed at noon? If not, do you roll your eyes at dolled up moms?

Re: Are you a frumpy mom?
I find getting dressed up to go to the grocery store to be a waste of hair product. I do shower, comb my hair, and put on jeans, but nothing fancier than that.
I get dressed up to go out to dinner with friends or go out with DH.
ETA - I've missed our resident judger.

I'm so frumpy it's ridiculous. I have to wait to shower til LO is napping cuz he's taken to climbing up on the toilet tank and into the sink. I *could* shower before he gets up, but I'd rather stay in bed as long as possible. I live in sweats and tank tops. I do put on jeans to go to the store tho. Standards.
ETA: I don't judge dolled up moms. I wonder how in the world they find the time tho.
I'm vain so I like to put on make up (foundation, mascara & lipgloss) and jeans and a shirt (no sweat pants or baggy tees here) even for a short outing like the grocery store.
I pretty much never do my hair, it's frizzy and wavy ugh.
Ah, yes. I've been here. I just haven't been judging. The day is young though and errands have not been ran yet. Watch out world here I come (to judge)!
I shower and put my makeup on and fix my hair every day. Sometimes I wear yoga pants but I still fix up. It's an outfit even if it is yoga pants. That's the suburban mom uniform.
I am frumptastic. I live in hoodies, jeans and Uggs. I do wear bare minerals face makeup & bronzer every day with some lip balm but I rarely use mascara or eye shadow anymore. Also I put my hair in a ponytail about 75% of the time or just let it air dry.
I am jealous of moms that look put together all the time. I wish I had the time and energy but at this point it isn't on my list of priorities.
I judge women who get all dolled up to go to the gym. Like hair and makeup and the whole she-bang.
That makes no sense to me.

I was also getting better after finally fitting into my pre-pregnancy clothes (18mos post partum and 35 lbs UNDER my pp weight), and then I immediately got knocked up again. I'm now in that stage where regular clothes are too small, maternity clothes are too big. So yoga pants it is.
I belive in dressing for the occassion. I roll my eyes at anyone who overdresses. I'm kind of a natural beauty shines through type of person. I make this t shirt and jeans look smokin' LOL :-)
this. It makes me feel good to be clean and cute... and it really doesn't take that long. Sometimes it doesn't happen until baby naps, but ALWAYS before hubby gets home or before I go out.
Well to be sure that is where I will run into someone I dated or something! Totally kidding. I don't do this. I haven't seen the inside of a gym in years!
This almost exactly. Except I have to wear a bra.
Right now I'm in velour pants and a t-shirt. I put on jeans to drop DD off at daycare but when I got back home changed into comfy pants.
I have "no shower Sundays" if we are staying in.
Does he care or say something if not? How long have you been married?
BTW, not judging just curious.
pretty much this. When I was a SAHM I could pretty much live 24/7 in my PJ's, other than days I needed to go to the store or run errands and I LOVED it. I used to work in a bank where I had to dress up 5 days a week and hated it, so I guess I rebelled. LOL Now I work in an office, where it is business casual, but it's a lot more casual than it was at the bank, so it's not as bad. But I do miss my PJ's, and I tend to wear them from Friday evening to Monday morning (not the same ones all weekend, mind you!) if we have no weekend plans.
Mind you, just because I'm dressed with hair and makeup done, it doesn't mean I've showered....
I don't roll my eyes at anyone, who knows what kind of day they've been having?
I do my best. Clothes and shoes are pretty tired looking to tight finances/saving for vacation in May. Plus I am halfway to goal weight; might as well wait 4-6 more weeks to get a nice/new/cute summer wardrobe, and restock for next winter later this year. Hair hasn't been cut since Nov because of finances plus I really don't know what the heck I want anyway (short, long, layers, ack!). I also really think a breast reduction would help a lot with the frumpy factor at this point.
But I always go out with clean clothes (if I can get the snot/saliva wiped off, who needs to know), hair brushed and basic makeup (Bare minerals, ready in 2min), I pay attention to jewelry/accessories for work, and I'm definitely feeing better from WW and exercising (first 5K in May, fingers crossed). I want to look better than I do most days, but without a winning lotto ticket it's just going to take some time and patience.
I also try to always get a little dressed up or at least do something besides pjs before hubby gets home...not that he cares I just feel like I let myself go too much already I want to try for him. He says I am silly and look great either way..I do it mostly to make me feel better
I always wear jeans out, usually with a t, sweatshirt and tennies. I brush my hair but I usually pop on a headband because my hair sucks and I desperately need a cut. I wear sweatpants and pj's at home, a lot! LOL I don't wear a lot of makeup, in general, but if I have the time, I prefer to put on a little foundation (or bronzer powder) and a smidge of eye shadow or lipstick.
If DH sees me in pj's when he goes to work, I usually try to put on jeans and a bra before he gets home (like pp said). For me, it's just because I feel a little guilty or lazy (and maybe a little frumpy) when I realize I've been in pj's all day.
Now that I've joined a Mommies group, I'll be sure to be a little more "put together" when I'm going out to meet people! haha (storytime tomorrow!)
I don't wear makeup, wear my hair in a pony tail, and live in Jeans +shirt. I have resorted to wearing tennis shoes (like gym shoes or running shoes) out because DS weighs as much as DD and I carry him all.the.time (27 pounds). Any other shoes kills my back so I got 2 pairs of gym shoes for every day.
Considering I lived in Europe and wouldn't be caught dead looking the way I do living here I definitely label myself "frumpy".
One day I will make an effort again....
I don't consider myself frumpy, but I do not get dolled up.
If I am heading out to run errands, I get dressed. I do not wear pajamas or yoga pants out. I try to throw on some mascara, but that doesn't always happen these days.
I left this thread unattended for a while, my bad. Anyways, I wasn't judging in that post! I just didn't have the right sarcasm font and I was missing a winky-smiley face.
I guess it depends on your definition of 'frump', but I am sure I fit in there somewhere.
For me, if I am just going out to run errands, I make sure that I am showered, teeth brushed, hair is in a ponytail or, at the very least, brushed, and am wearing jeans and a presentable top.
That being said, I will not be one of the ones in the store with high heels and make-up on. I save those for the days I am going to work or, on the rare occassion, actually going out for a night out with the girls, etc.
Hard to say, I have the choice to dress up for work or wear scrubs. 75% of the time I wear scrubs because its easier. But I do shower every morning and do my hair and make-up. On the weekends I shower and get ready too, usually even if I am not leaving the house. I will not wear yoga pants to Target but I might if I was just running to the gas station. We live in the counrty, Target/grocery store = town.
My uniform is cute, casual, and comfortable: trouser jeans, a sleeveless top (tank top, sleeveless shell, whatever) and a cotton cardigan with simple black loafers and cute waves in my hair. I mix patterns and colors to keep it fun and interesting while basically wearing the exact same thing every day.
Also, I don't wear make-up. It's just not me.
