GTKY: Snowday/ Work From Home Attire

[vh2014]

We've gotten quite a bit of snow lately and I work from home once or twice a week.  It drives DH crazy that I stay in my PJs all day... a little TMI here, but I put them on after I wake up (I don't like to sleep in anything) so they are clean and I usually take a shower at night and change into new ones or go straight to bed.  I don't see any reason to put "normal" clothes on if I'm not going anywhere.  He would prefer that I put on sweats/jeans and a tshirt or something... my PJs are lounge pants and a tshirt usually so what's the difference?

So thus:  GTKY: If you are going to be home all day with no company what is your standard attire?

vh2014 I am all about the PJs. If I'm home with no one coming over, I have been known to wear the same PJs all day that I woke up in, shower, and then put on new PJs to go to bed. And if someone does happen to stop by for whatever reason, and I'm in my PJs, I have also been known to hide and pretend I'm not home. Lounge pants and a t-shirt sound like real clothes to me - I'd probably wear those to the grocery store!

vh2014, DH does the same thing (he works from home) -- and sometimes I DO get a little snippy that he gets to lounge at home in comfy pjs when I have to get all dressed up to go in to work. Although - if I do a work at home day I definitely pull out the lounge pants/comfy tshirt and in summer it would be my sleep shorts and a tshirt. lol

I'm usually in yoga pants/running shorts and a t-shirt if I'm at home. Bra about 50% of the time. If I'm lounging, no bra. If I'm moving around (cleaning or a project), I'll have a sports bra on.

If he had to dress up for work I'd get it, but he's been home sick all week too.  He just has this thing about you need to get dressed and it's "weird" to be in your PJs all day. He's known me long enough to know I am weird.. so I don't know why he's surprised. LOL

PJs all day is awesome - not weird

PJ bottoms and a nursing tank.

I love that you have all validated my "why not just stay comfortable... that's normal". I'm sure there's someone out there that thinks they have to get dressed and "done up" every morning...

[winogirl]

I remember that my MIL used to read this website to get organized/stay "useful" (she was a stay at home mom/wife) and it would say that step one of every day should be that you "get dressed to the shoes" meaning that you are fully dressed including wearing shoes first thing in the morning to make you productive.

I hate wearing shoes and I would be so UNproductive if I forced myself to wear them while working at home.

I am with you on the shoes.  I'd be barefoot just about all the time if I had the choice.  In the summer I love slip off shoes so I can knock them off under my desk at work.  At home nope... and I leave them at the door... which also drives DH crazy.  We actually had a what do you do with all those shoes conversation the other day because I have so many pairs laying around... oops...

I was supposed to be in Stafford yesterday for work but Thor blew in so ya know...I was PJ'n it all day as well!!!! vh2014 Did you guys get slammed? We got almost an inch but didn't see any snow until after 7pm. The weather folks were SO off!!!

[wannabmama]

I live in yoga pants...I don't know if MH would recognize me if I was in the house and NOT wearing yoga pants. I love the tanks with built in bra, nowhere near enough support for out in the world but perfect for lounging. When I work from home, DH is lucky if I shower.

MH and I were watching House of Cards last night and I was like, "Seriously does Claire not own any comfies???" She lounges around in a pencil skirt and heels. So yeah I am as comfy as possible whenever I'm home. Sweats, soft tees, cozy socks. I was totally on board with the whole "athleisure" trend last summer/fall. Stylish and comfy = awesome!

[wirt2cute]

I've been home for the past two days because of snow and have been in nothing but work-out pants and a tee shirt. That's my normal weekend attire unless I am going somewhere. Because I have to dress up everyday day for work I love just relaxing in lounge cloths.

[b0710]

One of the first things I do when I get home from work is put on comfies. If I'm not going anywhere comfies it is....same for DH. I say rock it

[vh2014]

agpjt413 yep, it was awful. Started with about an half inch or more of ice then 6 or so inches of snow on top. Most of it came down fast.

wannabmama yeah, DH would be mortified if I skipped a day showering. I feel like if I'm sitting mostly still and don't sweat a day and a half is acceptable. Lol.

[agpjt413]

vh2014 - Oh man, hopefully it'll be gone by this wkend...supposed to be gorgeous out!! I'm so over the snow but I would take that over ice any day.

[teenybenoit]

vh2014 pjs rule!! Just sayin.

[lickwed]

Yoga pants. I am on Spring Break this weak and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

[rnmommy]

One of the things I really like about being a nurse is wearing scrubs to work. It's like wearing pajamas.

[vh2014]

rnmommy, we did a thing a few years ago on Halloween where we all dressed up in scrubs for work. Made me want to change my profession.
