How Do You Dress on Saturdays?
I have had several readers ask me, “How do you dress on Saturdays”? I usually dress pretty casually on Saturday. I don’t go into to work on Saturday, so it is more a errand and catch-up day. I want to be dressed nice enough that I can run to the grocery store or answer the door should someone come see us.
I have on just a plain basic white t-shirt. This is a woman’s fitted shirt, so it fits closer to my body. I prefer a close-fitting shirt, as long as it is not tight, because it makes you look thinner. I used to think that a baggier shirt would hide my lumps and bumps and make me look smaller. But in reality, I just looked wider because of the shirt.
This bright aqua blue zip sweater hoodie is ages old. I bought it years ago in three different colors. I liked it that much. It is super soft like cashmere, but it’s not. I bought them from Old Navy, but I like this one from Eddie Bauer.
This is what I look like most days. If you come to the lumber company, you will see me sitting at my desk with a pair of reading glasses on. I am near-sighted, but I wear contacts to help me see in the distance. After I hit 43, I started noticing that I couldn’t see up close. The kicker is, if I take out my contacts, I can see great up-close. Of course, then I can’t see far off. Either way I end up having to wear a pair of glasses.
How do you like my footwear choice? This is one of about 4 different pair of house shoes I wear on a regular basis. This pair I bought last year at the craft fair I organize, and they are from Vera Bradley. They are soft, warm, and cute. A trifecta!
I think I am zipper challenged. I have my camera set on a timer to take my picture. It will take 5 shots at a time, then I go and set it again to take 5 more. Usually that is all I take, and then head off to work. Today it took me so long to zip the hoodie, I had several shots that looked like this. Haha I had to set it for another 5 shots. Lol!
Finally, mission accomplished! Don’t I look proud of myself. Haha No jewelry, very little makeup, and no purse, that’s how I roll on Saturday. The first thing I do when I come home in the afternoons is yank off my jewelry. Then I usually go and take off my bra, but I spared you that look. Was that TMI? So, this is me on Saturday, how do you dress?
You might have noticed a new design to the website. I hope you like the new look, and that you are able to navigate its features easily. The comment section is at the very end of the post, so keep scrolling. I look forward to reading all the comments, they make my day.

I’m so thrilled to find your blog. I ADORE every post! Finally, someone who shops similarly (i like what I like, whether from Nordstrom or Target…..or a garage sale. You’re outfits are so inspiring, and have given me re-newed excitement! Thanks for sharing your style!
A new fan,
Mary (have a great w/e)
That’s how I feel Mary. I don’t care where I buy something from, the mall, a yard sale, a thrift store, or Old Navy. If I like it, I will buy it. I am terrible it someone says they like my top, or whatever, to say, “Oh, thanks, I go this at a ___________”. He wonders why I can’t just say “thank you”. Lol!
Good Morning Tania! Looking very “put-together Saturday”! I totally agree about the fitting of the tee-shirt, although I am too tempted to wear a baggy one most times (at the cost of being not flattering whatsoever! ha!). – Your weight loss is showing, Gurl! You’re very motivating! – I’m having sun-snow showers this morning here in the midlands of SC, with a good skiff on the deck already. – (BTW,I too am a Mrs. Magoo)
Oh Tania- here I sit at 10:00 + in my PJ’s (coffee in hand) on a Saturday- I aspire to your jeans & T outfit by high noon!
Love how you keep it real though!! 🙂
Thanks Jules! There are days when I wish I was dressed by noon. Haha
You are looking really thin….you go girl!
Tania you crack me up. I can’t wait to get my bra off when I get home too! Darn those things…
I really have enjoy your site and getting an email has been fun. It’s nice seeing a “mature” lady be so fashionable;) just a shout out ” I love your style!!!!”
Blessing to ya;)

You look cute and comfy! Thanks for the tip about the tees. I don’t like tight clothes but baggy makes me look baggy (and bigger).
Tania–I am a subscriber to your blog and always enjoy finding it in my inbox…..
I realize this might involve some repetition, but I would appreciate it if you could include the details of the jeans you are wearing in every post. Even the torn/destroyed ones.
Where you purchased them and the name of the style would be so helpful.
You always look adorable! Thank you so much!
I will try Mandy. I usually have had the jeans for such a long time, they are no longer on the websites. But, hopefully I will be able to find similar ones. Thanks for being a subscriber and leaving a comment. ????
Love your blog! It’s the first one I look for each day. Since you show Vera Bradley slippers, I was wondering if you have one of her purses? Or are they out of style? What do you think of them? I have a couple and I like the pockets in them, but I wonder if they are “old lady.”
I love the slippers, and I have a WONDERFUL throw that I use on the couch from Vera Bradley. My wallet I carry is also a Vera, because it can contain all my need items, and it has a long strap. When I go to flea markets, yard sales, etc., I can carry that instead of my large purse and everything I need is there. BUT, I don’t really like the purses. I never have, so go figure.
You could wear your Tiffany blue Hunter boots, grab a coat, hat, gloves and be ready to go out! Love it!
