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.

So cute! I completely agree with you about the fitted shirts. In fact, I don’t quite understand why so many women our age wear large flowy things every single day. We still have curves! Honestly, I dress this way almost every day because I don’t work outside the home now.
Hi Tania. I stumbled upon your blog about a month ago and I really enjoy it so much. Your personality just shines through! I love how you keep it real are never pretentious. Lately some blogs seem to be getting very “Pinterest-y.”Like….everyone is all the same? You know? You seem like a very confident , independent person and I love that! I’m not quite 50 but its coming soon. Thanks for giving me a fun, informative site to visit each day!
Wow, Jodi, that is quite a compliment! Thank you so much:)
I’m right with you, Tania, on losing the jewelry and bra as soon as I get home! Your blog is so fun and you always look great! I agree about the Vera purses. I have a gifted tote and a mini crossbody that I use in the summer for errands and I may have to check out the house shoes. And in TX, it’s always a Coke, too, unless it’s a Dr Pepper!
You look darling! That’s my retired attire most days!! I’m in California this weekend visiting family… So its shopping, babysitting and movies, and wine!!
Shopping, babysitting, movies, and wine sounds fabulous!!! I still want to see Montana one day:)
Oh my gosh, the house shoes are just darling and lend a whimsical touch to your Saturday outfit! I just love it! Tell me, do you ever forget that you’re wearing house shoes and make a quick trip to the store? (hee hee)
That would be hilarious, Kimberly. Are you speaking from experience? Lol! 🙂
I found it very interesting that some gals call those “house shoes” and others call them “slippers.” So I guess depending on what part of the country you are from, there are different terms even for clothing. Just curious . . . do you call it soda, a soft drink or pop where you are from? It is bright, sunny and beautiful here today—almost like spring and it won’t be terribly cold this week so I can probably just wear ponchos or blazers instead of a coat. Too bad you are on that “financial diet.” I have found some incredible bargains at Talbots. The markdowns were 60-70% off. I can’t go out of the house even on Saturday without looking good. I ALWAYS run into someone I know especially former students or someone from Bible Study or church. Well, enjoy your snow. My grandkids are sooooooo disappointed they will not get any snow days!
Your killing me Sharon….60 – 70% off!!! I’m not even going to look. And BTW, it is just a Coke. You say “will you get me a Coke”, and they will say, “what do you want”. Then you tell them the brand. Hahaha
A casual Saturday look looks great on you! I love those Vera Bradley house shoes. Very pretty!! How much snow do you have? We have 6-12 inches in my neck of the woods depending on where we measure.
Debbie, we probably have around 6 inches. I am sure the areas surrounding me have more. Where I live usually get the least amount of snowfall. Stay warm, I am off to build a fire in the fireplace.????
Where is the SNOW????
Love your blog and your outfits! This is basically how I dress on Saturdays too (although I do dress up on Saturday evenings since my husband I have “date night.”) I finally learned that tip about buying t shirts that are more fitted rather than boxy-it really does make us look slimmer. You are looking so cute and chic!
A date night sounds awesome, Cindy!!!
You look as nice as always. Love your blog. Enjoy your Saturday 🙂
