Reese Witherspoon has been spending time just like the rest of us — in sweatpants!

In a very relatable Tweet shared on her feed on Friday, The Big Little Lies actress, 45, joked about the discomfort she experienced when wearing more restrictive clothes.

"Seriously thought I had appendicitis, then realized: I'm wearing pants with a waistband," Witherspoon jokingly wrote.

The actress, like many others in the past year due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, has been spending a lot more time at home and a lot less dressing up for outings and events.

On March 24, she shared a photo on Instagram wearing a blue gingham Draper James dress expressing her gratitude for the warm "dress weather."

For Easter, Witherspoon modeled another spring dress from her clothing line Draper James.

The Little Fires Everywhere star held her new puppy Minnie as she modeled the brand's pink seersucker Reba wrap dress.

"Listen... when they are little, you can dress them how ever you like. Am I right? Minnie's first Easter! 🌷🐇.," she captioned the phone.
