(FYI? This was entirely out of the blue, around 3pm yesterday. We had not spoken all day.)
Lil Sis: OMG I was just in the work kitchen for like 5 minutes, and I just sat back at my desk, looked down, and I had gotten like a gallon of sauce on my khaki pants.
Now that I’ve washed most of it off, I of course look like I peed myself.Me: *dying laughing* You are SO my sister.
Lil Sis: I still have a suspicious orangey patch. I can’t wait to go home where I don’t have to be hampered by all these clothes!
Me: Omg stop, you are making me laugh OUT LOUD. … (That’s “lol” if you’re a cool kid.)
Lil Sis: LOL I HATE CLOTHES THEY ARE TOO MUCH WORK
Me: I go through this every morning. If I didn’t have to dress myself every day, my life would improve by 50% betterness. Fact.
Lil Sis: I can handle shirts.
Me: See, I’m a dress girl. It’s the onesie for adults.
Lil Sis: I just don’t understand why there are any situations in life where jeans aren’t appropriate!
Me: Agreed. It’s 2010 people! Obama’s getting rid of the tie, for God’s sake, let’s GET RID OF THE PANT.
Lil Sis: Well first of all, if I wear a dress there’s no place to clip my badge so I’ll be getting locked out all day.
Me: I just make a place- bunch a little bit of it. It’s extra sexy.
Lil Sis: But most importantly, to wear a dress I have to have freshly-shaven legs. And that’s more work than clean pants!
Me: Says who? No one really looks. You just can’t go out in the sunshine. Vampire ftw!
Lil Sis: Says my white skin and dark brown hair. This is why jeans are heaven… never wrinkled, never look dirty, no exposure. Mmmmmmmmm jeans.
Me: I’m with ya. Preaching to the choir here. … Except that it’s been 100 degrees for a month.
Lil Sis: Well, clearly clothes are the devil.
Me: With that, sweet sister, I concur.
Just another Xmas in the LiLu household.*
*Disclaimer: My sister is insisting I inform you that these sweaters were donned ironically. Well, DUH.

I can only wear dresses when I’m in the privacy of my own home.
Perhaps I’ve said too much.
@moooooog35, Yeah, but do you shave your legs? Are your dresses short? Do you get a Brazilian?
I agree, clothes are the devil.
That’s why I’m always naked when I read your blog.
Just yesterday my sister and I had a similar conversation about all the hard work of showering. Lazy, maybe, but we can call it practical!
I’m beginning to take on a whole Mo’Nique attitude with regard to the whole shaving of the legs thing. I won’t let it get to the point in which it curls, but I’m no longer bothered by a substantial amount of stubble. Dresses FTW.
See, I work in publishing/IT, and for some reason in this industry, ultra-dark wash jeans are acceptable. Not really sure why, but I’ve seen my boss do it, so by golly I’m doing it too. Wearing them right now and it feeeeels soo gooood.
@Michelle,
My boss is the director of the internal affairs office of my agency as well as an ordained minister…if he came in wearing jeans, I’m almost sure he would have quit his job and is there to clear out his desk. Or his dry cleaners blew up in some horrible soap-chemical accident and his wardrobe was the collateral damage.
clothes are evil…i actually had to iron something this morning :::shudder:::
Huh, ironic sweaters? I always pegged you for the kind of girl who loves Christmas and cat sweaters.
@Kristina P.,
She MADE me write that. You know the truth.
I totally feel you on the dresses. I stayed in Old Town last night (to watch Eclipse at the Old Town theatre, sans-teenagers and plus a scrumptuous ice cold beer) and my phone had died during the night–along with my well-timed alarm clock–and I ended up having to dress myself and have my friend drop me off at the metro in 10 minutes.
Knowing this was totally a possibility, I brought with me a real gauzy, south west type long broom-skirt/dress that is made to look wrinkled. I slinked in to that, slapped on my denim dress jacket and voile! Instant work-place casual chic! It is indeed the onesie for the adult female. Or male. The next big trend. You never know, it might catch on, like man-purses.
I really should invest in more dresses, but I too am like your sister. Jeans ftw. (:
Shorts, that is my wardrobe choice.. not a big dress person. Loathe shaving.. but I do it cause I have the leg hairs of sasquatch. Although mine are not as bad as my sister’s she STOPPED an epilator COLD. Now OUCH cause those things hurt like heck anyway..
so with you on the dress thing. i used to think that dresses were excessive and girly, but then i grew up and realized how incredibly convenient they are. i do this all the time.
@magnolia,
Hell to the yes! And it was so great meeting you last night at SM Day!
think I can get away with dresses if I use this as reasoning: It’s the onesie for adults.
not that I want to wear dresses…anyways
being laid off means I rarely get dressed anymore-yeah!
I totally agree with sis about the dresses/shaved legs. although i hate jeans, it totally makes sense!
haha so funny! I have to agree with your sis – jeans all the way cause less shaving lol
Yes, please continue to wear dresses….unless it becomes a Mumu…then just go ahead and jump in the Potomac clutching your last Double Down.
I worry about the folks in full on suits down here. Seriously, this is Austin, Texas you couldn’t pick out a Millionaire CEO from a Struggling Artist amid the sea of shorts, flip flops and Live Strong bracelets.
Those sweaters may have been donned ironically, LiLu, but you actually OWN them in the first place. Lest we forget.
I fucking hate pants. Long live the adult onesie.
Since your sister is clearly NOT my mother-in-law, of course those outfits were selected for the delicious hilarity that is holiday sweaters.
Oh sure, you two can have this conversation until the cows come home, but if I talk about not wanting to wear pants, I get called a perv and slapped with a restraining order.
*sigh*
I guess I’ll have to stay 100 yards away from your blog at all times now…
You’re right…dresses really are the onesies for adults. And I’m with you – I rarely, if ever, worry about the clean shaven legs. Too much hassle – and why should anyone be looking anyway? Eyes up here, people.
oh!!!!
i friggin loved this.. the best EVAH!!!!!!!!!
Haha awesome! This makes me want call my sis right now and force her to get a gchat account pronto!
That is hilarious! Clothes ARE the devil. I don’t wear clothes in my house or in my apartment- pajamas all the way. Outside of the comfort of my own home I base my options on whether or not my legs are shaved- oh yeah, I’m that cool.
I say we have one of those protests wear we start burning bras, dirty pants. and everything.
“Well duh”
Too funny. Sounds like something my sister would make me do. Clothes ARE too much work. Personally, I enjoy lounging around all day in my towel. Of course, that’s not entirely appropriate to wear outside of the house…
I agree. Clothes are the devil. i walked around all day yesterday with two stains on my shirt because I didn’t realize they were there when I put it on. Classy.
I’m with your sister on the leg shaving. yes, the dress is easy, but the shaving….. I so wish jeans were OK at work!
Ahhh, the beauty of working from home. Clothing optional, hygiene optional, manners go out the window… I am surprised I haven’t gone completely feral.
I soooo agree with everything you both said down to the “but if I wear a dress I have to shave” part. Lol. I have to dress “business casual” to college. COLLEGE! Where most people wear their pajamas. My life blows!
That picture is hilarious.
Me: See, I’m a dress girl. It’s the onesie for adults.
Are you sure we’re not related? Dresses are all I wear, and everyone thinks it’s because I’m this girly girl that wants to look cute all the time. Nope. I’m just THAT lazy – oh and jeans are toooo constricting. How am I expected to eat that huge cheeseburger if I’m wearing jeans?
Are those your glasses from 3rd grade? I had the same ones. Not shaving my legs was the #2 reason I got married.
Clothes are the devil. That is true for sure.
Naked FTW!
i’ m with her on this one. hate shaving legs…
Clothes are overrated – unless it’s a gaudy Christmas sweater! Love them!
I concur with your sister’s dislike of the dress due to the whole hairy leg issues. However, I also concur with you — WHY are there places where jeans aren’t appropriate. Jeans can be fancy! Or so the price tags claim.
I’m personally a shorts romper girl in the summer. I know I know, there is much debate about the romp, and they might actually be ugly as hell, but they are SO comfortable and easy. You don’t have to think about pairing a top with a bottom. AND unlike dresses, you don’t have to worry about pantylines. Although, getting undressed every time you have to pee TOTALLY suxxx!
lol (cool kid) my brother and i have the best text convo’s. the whole brother thing is so evident whenever we talk.
we’re also not even a year a part which was always kinda weird.
I love dresses but hate shaving my legs. But, oh, the things we do to look appropriate.
I see where y’all are coming from with the whole clothes being a pain thing, but the idea of abandoning them makes me shiver, literally. If we okay clothing-free living, can we get a rule that no AC units maybe set below 78? That would be awesome. Until then I think I’ll stick with all black to avoid stains (or at least make them look awkward enough that noone wants to ask).
I have to agree with your sister, dresses are tough in the summer cause you’ve always got to shave. and if you’re italian like me!? Miss one hair and everyone notices. So annoying.
Love the Christmas photo. Fantastic ugly sweater selections
I’m a fan of the onesie for adults (aka I’m a dress girl too). I hate having to actually match my clothes! I even bought one of those trendy “rompers” so I could have more onsie options. However, I draw the line at overalls and pant lenghth jumpsuits. I still need to look kind of sexy while avoiding separate pieces of clothing.
When I’m wearing a dress I keep my security pass in my bra.
Works wonders. But the guys look confused when I wonder if I have my pass on me and proceed to grab both of my breasts for what looks like a quick self-fondle.
So it must be in the blood then eh? LMAO!
I agree with sis about shaving – I love Veet, but you have to wait until you look a monkey before you can reapply. Ugh….
My sis and I have this sort of conversation on the daily. The difference is that I do not get dressed. Like ever.
So when are you going to do a giveaway with one of those delicious, clearly designer, sweaters??
you two are ridiculous, i love it. and that picture is pure magic.
Love the photo, especially your sister’s Hideki Tojo glasses.
Hey did you shave in that picture? There is like zero trace of a beard.
I have to completely agree with your sister, jeans should be socially acceptable at every function. I’m not a dress person so jeans are my go to of choice.
Swimsuits is what we needed to be in last week what with it being too hot even for the devil himself. This week however I’m voting for jeans. And flip flops. I have to go with your sister on this one!
The dress is the onesie for adults–truer words have never been spoken.
so wait. when you say dresses are the onesie for adults, does that mean i’m not allowed to wear onesies anymore? balls.
Haha. I’m a dress girl too but when I’m too tired or too lazy to shave my legs, I wear jeans.
love your blog! good luck becoming an MTV TJ. i’m so jel!
sarissweetlife.blogspot.com
LMAO Onesie for adults that’s awesome!
Does anyone else find it ironic that your sister is wearing a skirt/dress in that photo and you’re wearing jeans, when SHE was the one who was all, “Boo for shaving my legs!”?
Also, SISTERS FTW. My sister is 18 and just graduated high school, so she’s barely coming into her absolutely hilarious self. A few months ago, she made a TWSS joke, and I died with pride.
Uh huh. Pinnochio.
You guys wear those fine sweaters all year round, am I correct?
“Me: See, I’m a dress girl. It’s the onesie for adults.”
SO FUCKING AGREED.
I HATE PANTS. They’re just hot and ALL UP IN YOUR BUSINESS, it’s like, WHY do you have to be gripping my leg and flopping around near my feet and then a death hug on my butt and all up my lady business, PANTS? Hmm, PANTS, you and your buttons and zippers and shit, are you some sort of Post-Modern torture device?!?!
I wear dresses so often that yesterday morning, I donned jeans for work (yeah, I’m lucky to be casual all the time) ONLY because all my dresses are in the wash (cough*cough* lying in a pile in front of the washer where they will remain for two more days*cough*), and my boyfriend came out to take me to work and goes, “Wow. Baby. You’re wearing pants.”
Pure astonishment.
I also enjoy writing novels on your blogs.
hahaha, LOVE IT. sisters rule.
I love that pic – hilarious
