Life and Pants

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Sometimes I get all prettied up and wear heels around the house before I go down to my studio. Just to feel nice.

Then again, other days I leave the house looking like an unwashed ragamuffin.

to the OP. 

I do a lot of work in the public eye now, so I have to wear suits fairly often, though, I actually enjoy that.  I would often wear suits when I was in college, even just going to class.  But, when I'm just here in the office I tend to be a bit more casual but it's very low stress around here.  The Exec Director is often walking around in a polo-shirt and jeans. 

[Richter]

Nigel / RWHN:  You hit on a good point, there is a differnce between looking causal and looking messy. 

Also, I violently dislike polo shirts.  Won't wear them.  It's either a t-shirt, or a button down.

When I started working more from home, I realized that even though comfort is a wonderful thing, it can also hinder my abilities. Now I make sure I get a shower and get dressed into actual clothes suitable to wear outside when I start sewing or design work on the computer. It helps me maintain more of a "I'm working now" ethic, instead of, "Wee! I'm in my PJs and I don't want to move from my comp chair because I don't have to!"

I do miss dressing nice for work everyday, It wasn't always glorious, but it did make me feel like I was worth something a bit more.

Then again, I'm also a girl, and nothing says, "I'm awesome and I'm going to go kick ass" than tailored clothing, 3" heels and lipstick.

What about fishnets?   

Not to work. I do have SOME class.


...back seams.

Ah, back seams.

[Corvidia]

to the OP. I'd love to show up to work jeans and a T. Might make more sales, too. 
Bu I work in a video game store, so there's no telling what other people might show in.

[BADGE OF HONOR]

I work in a warehouse, I can't wear anything I care about.  I always look like shit because I won't buy jeans that cost more than $30 because they get torn to shit in six months or less.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

its an outrage that to go out of our houses we HAVE to wear clothes - give me nakedness

OR KILL ME

[Payne]

What's retarded for me is that I'm better dressed today than I have been for many months. Because I'm going to a funeral.

Regardless though, I'm looking goood.

(Though Hatless)

Incidentally, today's hat:

That's a nice hat.

(note, i am grateful do, to not have to see old and/or fat people nakedz)

(note2, the thing about not dressing nicely and showering everyday, is that one loses "structure" and becomes so unproductive and "fuck it ill do it later" type)

Depends what you're doing too.  I'm often my most productive jumping around the shop (read: combined storage / shop / bedroom) in busted jeans and an undershirt when I have a project I can really lock into.  Same if I come home in buisiness casual clothes, toss down my bag and grab something I've still got many hour of filing work on.  Engagement with the work matters more to me than how I'm dressed.

Salvation Army / Goodwill.  It's kind of gnarly, but $1 - $5 pants can be treated as properly expendable.  3 - 6 pairs of those will outlast 1 pair of brand new easily.  Dad does this for work clothes, if roofing tar destroys a pair of pants, it's much less a loss.

Fix't.

It's a who?

Oh, DRAT.
