Not sure this belongs here but when has that ever stopped me? As I was getting ready this morning I got to wondering why am I bothering as absolutely no one is going to know. Got to me thinking, yea dangerous I know, how many people are even bothering to get dressed in this time of everyone sheltering in place. Be interesting to see the results of this little unscientific poll come out. Please feel free to leave any comments.

I get up everyday and do my make up and hair before getting dressed. While it may not be the fanciest of outfits I select what I wear carefully both for comfort and style as well as appropriate for what is on my schedule. I even go as far as wearing earrings and my watch everyday and while I may add a necklace or bracelet that is not an everyday occurrence.

Hi.

Never done... A Day... in my life , as well lets face it I quess being a female I don't think about it I just do what I would do depending on the day so most of this is now in past tense as we are not going any where that our groups would do on our normal days during the week.

So for now any way I,m working and have been for 3 weeks our lock down time been in the workshop making a Metal Lathe and yes I,m a machinist so welding and turning is part of my work.

Okay I wear my multy coloured skirt is just a work skirt and as it,s getting colder like snow down south and our 2nd mountain ranges have snow as well so I keep warm just work clothes no makeup or as some will say looking pretty na not this kid, and I will if I get a bit mucky before I go next door to my very close friend in our bubble I,ll have a wash and get out of my overall,s an still no makeup and I really don't need it.

So I do spend a lot of time in the workshop ether making things like wooden tables chairs or form,s for inside or outdoors so yes I enjoy what I make steel timber or what ever,

When I go shopping in the evening at 6 pm wensday night I,ll have had a shower or a wash change into my day wear and warm coat lippy and perfume and all rugged up and backpack = duffel bag and off I go and yes is a heavy weight when I have all I need plus the cats food 6 large tins of so because I,m used to carrying a heavy load does not bother me.
now I don't know many women will do what I do it,s what I,m used to, those who know me know what I,m like so no drama .

Now I know I,m not a girly girl not one of those fashion type you see in those mag,s and nore do I wont to be like them I may not be pretty well I,m not so end of. and I,m not all the time dressed in nice clothe,s I like how I am and no pretence as to who I am , yes I get grubby and mucky don't care and when other,s vist or my close friend next door what do they see, plus they know what I do so its about our friendship not how I look My friend is Lovely and she is a neat friend.oh and lots of cupper,s over there as well,

I know for many on this and other forums they like to be all dressed up. yes I understand that and take every opportunity to get dressed. so I quess this is where the difference comes in so I,ll dress for what I have to do.

Did not answer your one of many ?.s well I did in my writing maybe.

Not that I am wearing a dress or skirt but I do get dressed in something decent everyday, well at least from the waist up. Working from home generally involves at least one video conference every day if not more so I try to put forth a presentable professional image.

Been working from home 4 plus weeks now and TBH after a few days I tried just staying in my nightgown and found I got virtually nothing done. I felt like just laying around and spent more thinking about how bad things were than working. Went back to getting dressed and doing my hair and make up and went back to being productive and my mood improved dramatically.

I stay in my nightgown most of the morning, then change into a skort and blouse.

Unless going to the store. Guess I still could though, since wearing a facemask will keep me incognito.
Of course my wife would stop me from doing that.

Speaking as one who has been married twice yes we wives can be a real b1tch at times

I have been taking this time working from home to wear some of my femme clothes that do not often get to wear. Some days dressed up nice other days casual. Not quite doing a Ralista and wearing a dress every day but I am more that half of the time.

But some of my outfits are trials and may not coordinate the best. Some maybe you could say some days are an experiment.

Like Kim I am taking full advantage of this time working from home to spend as much time femme as possible. I have days I am completely dressed with wig and make up but there are days I have video conferences scheduled so on those days it is more half and half, drab from the waist up and femme from the waist down.

Today I may have some people stopping by, thus making for a need for a quick change. So unisex femme jeans, pink femme top with 3/4 sleeve and button accents, bra and forms, with basic tee on standby, black heels with slip on unisex flats at the ready, black opaque knee highs.

Some days just need to be flexible and think outside of the box.

I went to church this past Sunday for the first time since probably March, That's a whole other story for another time! I wore a nice dress and even wore tights for the for the first time since March for a polished look. I was surprised how dressed up everyone was and commented on it to a couple of people and one woman joked this is the first time she hasn't had leggings or shorts on in she can't remember when! IMO people are starting to get fed up with casual or in some cases even less than casual attire and when we go back to whatever the new normal is we are going to see people more "dressed up."
