Clothes aren’t everything; and neither are looks. But, even if you don’t work or are at home all day long, there’s no need to spend your entire day in pajamas. Sure, we’re all entitled to those kinds of days, but, you should "get dressed" more often than not. Getting out of "schlumpadinka" mode will help you feel better about yourself — and others, even if it is your kids or spouse — will see your confidence shine through.

Notes
This Oprah-coined term appears to be a playful variation on the Yiddish term shlumperdik, "dowdy," from which we get the word schlump, "a slob; a slovenly person."
