Any body that knows me well knows that I rarely have jeans on. I only wear jeans when I’m going out…the second I get home…their off! I have pajama pants on, yoga pants, lounge pants, shorts, or a cozy skirt on. No jeans in my house. I have this weirdness that I can’t stand when I bend my knees and feel the thick jean in the creases of my legs. They just aren’t comfortable….and I’m ALWAYS bending over to clean spills, wipe bums, pick up toys, etc. Besides, I don’t want to wear out the knees! You pay good money for nice-butt jeans and I’m not wearing them to clean the house.
Aren’t these jeans SO fab??
My weirdness even extends to other people in my house. I prefer that people take their jeans off when they are just lounging around the house (kinda like taking your shoes off)…I feel uncomfortable for them and I can’t function properly. It drives my husband nuts that I’m always begging him to change out of his jeans cause I can’t cuddle with a man wearing thick material on his bod. Ya know??
Obviously, my love for “lounge” extends to robes and slippers. Mmmmmmm, I love slippers. And, robes are just so handy for those time you just aren’t ready to get dressed. But, you don’t want to look like a hobo, old maid, or sad sack…so, let me show you some of my favorites out there on the internet…
I love how this robe drapes over your body, doesn’t make you look like you gained 30 pounds…and it’s black and sexy, without being corny.
Okay, so this next one…you HAVE to read this review posted on Amazon. I think my eyes almost burst out of my head when I saw this certain word….one I had never heard before, I must be so ignorant.
I bought this robe for my old lady she fruck out when she got it. She said it was the most comfortable robe she ever had, i thought it smelled kinda funky but she had just opened it and it had not been washed yet but yeah i figure other chix would dig it too. Get her one trust me.
That’s right, chix…she “fruck” out. And, this robe is so ultra soft and comfy (kinda spendy) that you will fruck out too. I’m really loving this word a lot…it really helps me capture a feeling I have had such a hard time expressing…now I have the perfect word. I think I will be using it regularly, along with “schmell”.
So, this robe is just cute. I like cute.
And, my personal favorite that isn’t sexy at all…is Land’s End’s zip front robe. I’ve had mine foreva and it’s perfect for lounging. You don’t have to keep re-tying the front to make sure it doesn’t fall open. You can bend, wiggle, fruck, kick your legs up, hula dance, etc. and you’re still being modest. I like. I fruck out over it.
Land’s End Zip Front Robe, $49.50.
So, I’m sure you’ve heard about my devotion to Haflinger slippers…boiled wool, arch support, and usually kinda ugly. But, despite my love I still have a wandering eye for other slippers…such as these button cuties by Simple.
I’ve not loved the UGG moccasins that I have because they make my feet way too hot. However, they are cushy AND these particular ones are easier to slip on and off for a “cool-down”. They would look super special with the Land’s End robe.
You will almost never see me barefoot….unless I’m outside. Inside, I wear shoes. Backwards? Maybe. Get ready for Mariel Weirdness Part II: I don’t like feeling anything dirty touch my feet when I’m in the house. Grains of dirt, a popsicle spill spot, crushed cheerio flakes, germs, etc. It makes me kinda grouchy. (Outside, I’ll totally walk barefoot through the mud, step on spiders, dog doo, over the river and through the woods, etc.) I like floors really clean and seeing how it’s a little impossible with 5 kids…I have to wear shoes in the house, namely slippers or flip-flops. Anyway, these flip flops/slippers would be perfect for my quirk…bonus, no sweaty feet.
Acorn Dahlia Thong, $54.95.
And, that’s a wrap. I hope you’re all doing something super fun for Labor Day!














I’ve never been a robe person but I am diggin that one by Anthropologie! I just won one from Little Giraffe that is SUPER sexy and soft but I’m still not sure about it!!!
I love lounging out too, but it seems all of your suggestions are way out of my budget! We’re in the middle of building a house (which your beard man is doing the finish work on by the way and I LOVE IT) and I’m pretty sure my husband would kill me for spending $50 on a pair of slippers. I would love it if you showed a few options for those of us on a tight budget.
Thanks!
Jemaica,
K, I found some cute options for you. I know how it is building a house…and plus the super un-thriving economy…no fun.
Slippers are one of those things I splurge on (please, don’t tell my beard man!) because I wear them SO much…more than any other shoe I have! And, most of the flooring in my house is hard and I have flat feet…so I love some good arch support. I love super comfy slippers that have arch support and don’t make my feet sweat. I’m really slipper-picky!
But, here are some links to some less pricey slippers I thought were pretty cute and cozy lookin: (copy and paste them in your browser to open them)

Oh I just love this post. I NEVER wear jeans around the house. I am always in yoga pants, or any sort of comfy pant. I am totally agreeing that I buy expensive nice jeans, and I don’t want to ruin them by hanging out in them while cleaning.
I’m glad to know that I’m not the only person who can’t stand walking around the house barefoot! I always have to have slippers or flip flops on. I LOVE the Acorn Dahlia ones! So cute!
I am also all about dropping my jeans off the minute I get in the door and for me this includes jean shorts. I have over my 7 year marriage graciously given this gift (I say gift, because I believe cozy is just that a gift) to my husband. He barely gives me a kiss once he gets home so he can get his “cozy shorts” on. My 3 year old of course has attached onto this habit, she is always wanting to wear “cozy pants”. Which means triple the laundry for me (about to be quadruple) but I do not mind at all. As I write this, I am lounging in my new yoga pants from Old Navy.
By with a last note, I am not a jean hater. Because to me there is nothing like a good pair of jeans to make you feel good. Just not at home!
I love your blog, you have helped me find two gifts for my absolutely impossible to shop for MIL. Thank you, thank you!
Yay! I’m not the only one who doesn’t like to walk barefoot on hard floors. I fruck out if I feel crumbs under my feet.

Hello, you have the most fabulously wonderful site here and I had to leave this comment for you ! Your posts are beautifully written, creative and original too, and you have interesting pictures.
It’s all perfect !
Thank you for sharing your site and best wishes…. ‘Happy September’….
Jayson and I were literally belly laughing over “fruck!” Not just the word, but how well you introduced it to the world. You “fruckin” rock!
SO glad I am not the only one who steps out of the jeans the minute I walk into the house. I have comfy pants to wear around at home – some so comfy they have holes in them which is a bit embarrassing when a delivery person or unexpected guest arrives!
Coming by to visit on your SITS day! I completely agree about the jeans. Definitely don’t wear them a second longer than I have to! Of course if I looked like the chick in that picture I’d probably keep them on all the time to show off!
Mariel after I posted asking you about homeschool I was totally thinking about you, your perfectness, surely hour pefectly clean house and you always dressed first thing in the morning in some kinda cute designer jeans…so I was TOTALLY happy to read this as I only own one pair of jeans that even fit me right now! I hate wearing them! lol, and I ALWAYS have socks or shoes on in my house. Although I do love seeing my kids dressed and neat first thing in the morning…since homeschooling I have slacked there a little bit!
