A much warranted catch-up by skimming through Jezebel left me speechless at this image from one of their top articles:
“Everytime you wear sweatpants in public, a single guy leaves New York.”
So we’ll sacrifice any progress made in the feminist movement for a sole marketing ploy? Cute, maybe, but as much as I enjoy the occasional indulgence in humoring the quintessential Cosmopolitan column, but to what extent are we going to objectify women—ourselves?
And the last time I checked, “sweat pants, hair tied, chillin’ with no make-up on” was “when you’re the prettiest” was the realization of the century. Drake’s words, not mine.

I truly don’t understand why girls have to keep up this whole image. They are days when I’m not going to be all glam and chic, like I’m going out. Besides there is a blizzard out and I will stay indoors in my lounge pants and hair ties.

Agreed. It’s applicable to everyone – do it (whatever it is, getting dressed, putting on makeup, putting on heels, eating this or that, etc.) for you! I personally feel most like myself and at my best when “put together.” But for the record, I am 100% endorsing velour tracksuits and Uggs. It’s popular for a reason – it’s comfy.
