I am a shlumpadinka!! So glad Oprah called me out and forced me to take inventory and get my act together. The styles shown are easy to recreate. I can relate to the women on the show!!

I am a Shlumpadinka but I am a mommy to 4 month old twins, I stay at home and when I'm not feeding, burping and changing diapers I am cleanning the house or doing laundry. Is it realistic for me NOT to dress like a shlumpadinka?

The perfect white shirt ... as a professional career woman, it is the ONE item I have been searching for for years. And it's finally here!!! Well of course, there's a catch. It's available from ONLY one place. And it costs nearly $100, but that I don't mind as much, because if it were twice that price, I'd still pay it because it's such an important, albeit still missing, piece of my wardrobe. But, worst of all, it is sold by Brooks Brothers who still refuses to believe that a woman over the size 16 can, and should wear, such an item. That's it ... top size is 16. If you're above that, you're out of luck. Clothing manufacturers ... get a clue!!! Why can't you provide the clothing to ALL women, ALL sizes. I need to look good too. My money is just as good as the skinny woman from Glencoe who probably doesn't even work anyway is charging her clothing purchases to her investment banker husband's Amex. What a disappointment! The shirt is out there, only it's not available to me.

Just read about your "Shlumpadinka Makeovers!" The ladies look fantastic, can not wait to see the show tonight. It is very easy to be a "shulmpadinka" when you are home cleaning, and cooking, whether you have children or not. I do not know about you, but when working at home I am a slop. So that is why I am up at the crack of dawn, cleaning, washing, and even preping food for dinner while still in my pajamas. Once I am done that is when I shower, change and constantly remind myself, especially on the weekend get dressed half way decent. Press the pants, take the sweats off. You see I am single and one never knows when you will meet someone not mention how many times you run into someone you already know when you look like a "Shlumpadinka". Thanks for the reminder. You know there are men who are also "shlumpadinka's" how about making them over? Men need to go out in public all put together too,

I am a totally a Shlump and a dinka! I work from home and hardly get motivated to change out of my track pants for days on end! Blah! Holly in Canada

Those women on your show today do not even begin to describe shlumpadinka. They all have bra's on and their sweats are matching. I am bonafied shlumpadinka, wearing mix match shlumps for days and it doesnt matter if I wear them out of the house or not because no one kinows me anyway. I did get a pretty good haircut before Christmas but it has now turned gray and matches my shlumpadinka shirt! MY WHOLE LIFE IS A SHLUMPADINKA! Since I was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer a few years ago and unable to hold down a fulltime job, my husband was transferred to a new area with his job and so now I live every day in a SHLUMP. I don't care if I see anyone, do anything, those women are beauty queens compared to my life as a SHLUMPADINKA\

Thank you thank you ! I have recently had to retire from my job as a nurse due to illness and after all these years of caring about my appearance as I left the house in the morning I now find myself reaching for the old jeans and the sweatshirt instead of the snappy skirt and top and the old Crocks instead of the other gizzillion lovely pair of shoes I own ...I have struggled for so long to keep going and keep my spirits up and I know that it is time to make over me in all ways ....just not sure where to start !
