Out of the Closet

So I have been a SAHM for over a year now and rarely do I miss those days of suffering through 5 days work to fly through a weekend and then do it all over again. I did enjoy shopping for a fun wardrobe while I was still bringing in a paycheck, this is evident in my now overflowing closet.  Tonight I was grudgingly completing the chore of switching out my closet for the winter and once again I was faced with a new conundrum.  What the heck do I do with my 'work' clothes?!  My current attire has been derived from the early days of mothering; where wearing something with belt loops and a button is unbelievably uncomfortable, where styling my hair once every two weeks is a big deal, and the fashion of why bother? It's going to get spit up on in a mere moment anyway.  The catchall wardrobe for this life, is athletic clothes.  I am sure that I am a prime candidate for What Not to Wear with my constant wearing of running skirts and tanks in the summer and yoga pants and sweatshirts in the winter at home and sometimes {gasp} in public. And I dread to be inside my husband's head when he sees me strutting around the house in his PT sweatpants for the second day in a row.
 This makes little sense in that I have a closet full of nice appropriate clothes that would be suited for a trip to the commissary or a job interview for that matter.  Alas, those nice clothes are collecting dust in my closet and hell, its just the commissary right?  I decided to be real with myself and make more room in my closet by taking those dress pants, white button up shirts, and fancy sweaters and put them in a tub marked 'work clothes'.  This is in affect so that I don't pull them back out in the next season, dumbly thinking that I will wear these outfits.  I do hate that I don't have anything to get ready for most of my days, which I now have to giggle at myself when I get all dolled up for a doctor's appointment. But who can complain when your job doesn't require closed toed shoes?  Now I am wondering what I am making more room in my closet for.....
