Could I be a Shlumpadinka! (Sound of me screaming in horror). Oh Noooooo............
What is a shlumpadinka you might ask?
Do you run errands in your pj's?Are your husband's sweats a staple in your wardrobe?
If your answer is yes, you may be a shlumpadinka.
Oprah's been using this word for years, but many people are still in the dark about shlumpadinkas.
One audience member guessed they were the distant cousins of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory's Oompa Loompas, while another said shlumpadinka is what you call something when you've forgotten its name.
Though this word isn't in Webster's Dictionary ... yet ... Oprah says she knows a shlumpadinka when she sees one. "I made this word up a long time ago," she says. "It represents, for me, a woman who dresses like she has completely given up…and it shows."
Every woman has had a bad day or two in her life, but some are guilty of nonstop frump.
This was a really fun show where stylist Lloyd Boston demonstrated how to easily and inexpensively change up your wardrobe preventing you from becoming a shlumpadinka.The majority of his picks were from Sears and Old Navy and were quite inexpensive.
Lloyd says the following basics are important to add pizzazz to your wardrobe.
1. Bright scarves
2. A Trench Coat in a bright colour
3. Basic black trousers
4. A black and a white turtleneck
5. A tunic with a pair of white trousers to make the colours of the tunic pop
6. A black dress
7. A denim jacket, preferably white or dark
8. A black skirt
9. A cashmere sweater (they are really coming down in price) - try Old Navy
10. A pair of flats - try leopard or a funky print. How about a juicy colour!
11. An oversized colourful bag
12. And last but not least a versatile crisp white shirt.
See you after shopping ..........
