I am seriously feeling schlumpy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-put-together#post-832947 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 12:36:11 +0000 IRunForFun 832947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. Not at all. And I don't even have pregnancy or a kid to blame it on. I just have no innate sense of fashion/style and I don't care enough to put more effort into it. That's probably bad, but...eh.</p> <p>Our office is super casual (like, I could probably wear sweats and no one would say anything...OK OK I've totally worn sweats to work before) and aside from my 60-year-old boss I'm the only woman, so...I don't have much to compare myself to for coworkers. </p> <p>Today I'm wearing skinny jeans, a long teal ribbed tank, and a zip-up cream sweater with green and teal flowers, along with Toms. My hair is in a messy bun, and I'm wearing no jewelry (except my engagement ring and the Cape Cod bracelet I never take off) and no make up.</p> <p>To sum it up. No. No I do not look put together. Possibly ever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-put-together#post-832936 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 12:34:16 +0000 lovehoneybee 832936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Heh, I think most days I look just shy of an unmade bed. </p> <p>I try to make myself look presentable when I leave the house, but most of the time that just involves throwing on jeans and slip-on shoes and throwing my hair into a bun or ponytail (full of fly-aways that I've never been able to tame). I almost never wear make-up, and when I do wear it I can have it applied and be out the door in less than 5. </p> <p>Don't get me wrong, I'm not trotting out in PJ pants and unbrushed hair, I try to look decent if very casual, but I've never had a job that I needed to be super-polished, and it just doesn't suit my lifestyle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-put-together#post-832931 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 12:33:27 +0000 Ra 832931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always. BUT the baby is still baking so who knows if I'll be able to keep up after he gets here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-put-together#post-832904 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 12:27:59 +0000 GrapeCrush 832904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha not even close! My hair is always in a pony and half the time it's not a neat one. Lol some women in my office dress like they work for a major office and put the rest of us to shame! Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-put-together#post-832820 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 12:11:24 +0000 pl0508 832820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>depends on where I am! </p> <p>For work - yes.<br /> At home - hahahahhahaha - no. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-put-together#post-832786 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 12:06:58 +0000 78h2o 832786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: I was just thinking this morning that I need to put more effort into my accessories if I want to look really put together. I do okay with clothes, hair, and makeup, but my accessories are borning pearls or simple silver jewelry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-put-together#post-832782 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 12:06:12 +0000 hummusgirl 832782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I couldn't look put together if my life depended on it! I'm interviewing for jobs though, so I'm trying to fake it till I make it with nails, clothes, shoes, etc. My hair is hopeless so I don't even try. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-put-together#post-832767 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 12:02:21 +0000 blackbird 832767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not while I'm on maternity leave. I am when I'm in the office, though. Not excessively, but I do look nice, do my hair most days, and wear makeup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-put-together#post-832657 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 11:27:21 +0000 Cherrybee 832657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kinda. I mean "put together" isn't really my style - I can't really pull off accessories and that kind of thing, I don't know why, they just don't really suit me - but I always wash and straighten my hair and put make up on before going into work. I like to think I look effortlessly put together (when in truth is takes me about 40 mins to get ready for work!!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-put-together#post-832616 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 11:12:28 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 832616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to be. My outfits were styled, I did my hair in different styles, and I wore accessories. After having the baby, I'm more of a mess. I've still hung on enough to do my makeup everyday and now &amp; then I'll pull together a worthy outfit. Mostly though, I don't have enough energy to be fully put together. :(</p> <p>ETA: my previous style clothes don't always work as far as nursing goes (inaccessible or too nice to get breastmilk/spit up on) either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-put-together#post-832576 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 10:58:17 +0000 NovBaby1112 832576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think i LOOK put together at first glance (hair done, makeup on, nice work clothes), but if you looked closely, you would see spit up on my work shirt, legs that haven't been shaved in a few days, and horrible looking nails. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-put-together#post-832529 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 10:50:09 +0000 swurlygurl 832529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely NOT. I have frizzy/curly hair, so it just does it's thing. Also, my pp body is not fitting my old clothes, so my wardrobe is sparse </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-put-together#post-832516 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 10:47:09 +0000 MapleMoose 832516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wear makeup and style my hair everyday. I don't wear full makeup, just enough to give me the look I like seeing. And I have to put product in my hair everyday or else my baby hairs will make me look like a frizzy mess. So I guess I do look "pulled together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-put-together#post-832500 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 10:42:56 +0000 avivoca 832500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends on the day. Right now, I can't wear any makeup at all because my allergies are flaring up, and I didn't get up early enough to style my hair. If we have an event that day/night, I make an effort to have freshly washed hair with product in it so the curls are managed. My clothes are clean, but I don't accessorize much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-put-together#post-832481 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 10:38:19 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 832481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think so. I shower, do my hair and make up every day. I usually pull together nice outfits that are trendy as well. </p> <p>I work at home but when I go into the office no one is really put together other than one other girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-put-together#post-832474 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 10:37:31 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 832474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes- when I go out, which is rarely.<br /> I am a SAHM so, I only do things out of the house maybe a few times a week and I wouldn't get dolled up for the grocery store! But, if I visit DH at work, or go to a nice mall, or to the doctor's office, then yes, I try t look good.<br /> Luckily for me, 70% of my life in inside or in the yard with an infant! So, I get lots of jeans &amp; a cami time :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-put-together#post-832460 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 10:33:33 +0000 loveisstrange 832460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really? No matter what I do, my hair is usually crazy, so I never look super polished. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-put-together#post-832447 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 10:31:19 +0000 daniellemybelle 832447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at all. I have to wear business attire (veers into business casual but no jeans or anything like that) but I rarely accessorize and never wear makeup to work. I really should, honestly. I have been trying to at least style my hair regularly, but today it is once again up in a wet bun. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-put-together#post-832406 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 10:23:37 +0000 LovelyPlum 832406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um, no. I'm a mess. Not for lack of trying, but it just doesn't happen. Sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-put-together#post-832401 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 10:22:03 +0000 jhd 832401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>never! :) i teach high school &amp; it takes me 45 min to get to work. i'm not willing to sacrifice any more sleep than i have to! ;) most other teachers are pretty casual, but some of the students are super put together!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-put-together#post-832400 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 10:21:11 +0000 Anagram 832400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not as put together as I was pre-pregnancy. My first 9 years in education, I always tried hard to look professional but on-trend. Our principal used to give us jeans days and I never wore jeans which would somehow (inexplicably) upset some of the other teachers. But I just don't do sloppy. Like...I never, ever wear T-shirts in public. Ever. I think I own like...1.</p> <p>Then I got pregnant. And now I've totally worn a pair of Old Navy work out pants (in black) in lieu of real pants to work. I wear preggo t-shirts (with ruching on the sides, but still..they are T-shirts). I feel like most maternity clothes are so...matronly. I move a lot more slowly in the morning and don't want to wake up earlier so I don't flat iron my hair anymore. but I do always wear some makeup (tinted moisturizer, eye shadow, and mascara every day).</p> <p>So yeah...even though I still look presentable, I don't feel "put together" exactly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-put-together#post-832394 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 10:20:02 +0000 mediagirl 832394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: hahaha YES!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-put-together#post-832377 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 10:15:24 +0000 mrs. bird 832377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Somedays. Today I have on jeans, a plum tank, a gray cardi that is kind of crocheted at the shoulders and charcoal ballet flats. I had on a necklace but took it off because it kept catching in my hair. My fingernails look nice but my toes are hiding 'cause my pedi got chipped yesterday. I have makeup on, but I let my hair air dry. I guess today would be average, so I don't looked put together, but I don't look unkempt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-put-together#post-832374 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 10:14:38 +0000 luckypenny 832374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As a SAHM it depends on the day. I would say 60/40 yes/no </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-put-together#post-832346 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 10:07:13 +0000 heffalump 832346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not. I prefer comfort over beauty. I'm a SAHM so that doesn't help. When I was working the girls were so put together. They were always in their cutest heels.... and I wear orthodic shoes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-put-together#post-832341 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 10:06:42 +0000 MrsSCB 832341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really at work because I get to work at 6:15 am and it's just .... not gonna happen, haha. I am SO not a morning person! But if I go out to dinner or drinks or whatever with friends or with DH the I make a lot more of an effort putting on makeup and wearing something cute :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-put-together#post-832336 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 10:05:43 +0000 plantains 832336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to before LO, but honestly, I just don't have my groove back when it comes to looking put together. I can't even remember the last time I wore makeup! I need to fix that though, no bueno. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-put-together#post-832328 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 10:03:38 +0000 regberadaisy 832328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: haha leave DH and I'll move to Raleigh. :P </p>
