I don't think I'm able to slum it. It's not in my genes or something. I do lay around the apartment in pj pants and a tank in the evening, but rarely all day. There is no way I could walk out the door in sweats to go somewhere, unless it's the gym. I even had trouble with pajama days at school. So going out in sweats has been a problem with me since my teenage years.
It's different in Arizona than it was in Chicago. I do wear more of my t-shirts out here. In Chicago, there was rarely a time I went out in jeans, t-shirt, and sneakers (and that's not really slumming it
). It was quite a shock to move out here. I'd wear my everyday clothes and realize that I was *very* overdressed. I miss the catwalk of Chicago. I do believe I verged on strutting, but that's fun for me. I'm a slave to fashion. But as Abaya pointed out, you kind of have to go with the flow sometimes.
