Went to the outside world yesterday- glad to be back to the safety of home!<br /> Debated staying in black, but wore color instead </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-in-loungewear--for-now/page/2#post-2107400 Sat, 21 Mar 2020 01:33:03 +0000 cindysmith 2107400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so exhausted that I'm in lounge wear tonight. It's cold, I'm lonely and I'm tired, and I literally have nowhere to go since they shut down our 12 step meetings until further notice. I'm not even going to get my little furbaby from my ex because I work in a high-risk-of-exposure environment (grocery store, essential business so not closed and people are panic shopping); it's not fair to him or the others who live on the property he's on to risk exposing them to whatever cooties I've picked up at work. I'm being a slob and enjoying it. Potato chips count as food, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-in-loungewear--for-now/page/2#post-2107396 Sat, 21 Mar 2020 00:56:40 +0000 April 2107396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Because I don't go to a job daily, I am being strict with myself during this time of virus stress to get dressed daily even though all I am doing is self-isolating, cooking, cleaning, and snuggling with a little dog.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>It just feels better to me.&nbsp; I'm doing makeup too -- ordinary routines make me feel less like this whole thing is one endless sick day.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-in-loungewear--for-now/page/2#post-2107395 Sat, 21 Mar 2020 00:53:41 +0000 mtnsofthemoon 2107395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As someone who is in corporate dress for work and now currently at home for the next several weeks I am reveling in sweatpants and t-shirts with no makeup .&nbsp; I still style my hair because its curly/natural and demands attention so I don't look like a crazy lady (hahaha).&nbsp; As a matter of fact I own 1 pair of said sweatpants that are at least 6 or 7 years old.&nbsp; I have been doing twice daily walks with the doggies and the pants are so bagged out they hardly stay up on brisk walks.&nbsp; Therefore,&nbsp; I just now purchased a fresh pair of joggers from Athleta to replace my beloved ones, also Athleta, that need to "retire".&nbsp; I am sure as the days/weeks go by I will grow weary of such casual gear and "dress" properly again.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-in-loungewear--for-now/page/2#post-2107357 Fri, 20 Mar 2020 21:47:06 +0000 Bonnie 2107357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's been awhile since I've worn anything but cozy clothing with camping for three week and now staying in the house except for a daily walk.

Some staff are working from home but currently.</p> <p>I am grateful to have added two pairs of jeans. I also added these pieces last week ( my tee has long sleeves.</p> <p>My hair is overdue a cut and colour - everything is operating still - not sure what to do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-in-loungewear--for-now#post-2107215 Fri, 20 Mar 2020 15:16:52 +0000 Helena 2107215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely I have Suntiger! My uniform for the last week has been leggings or slim trackpants and an active-friendly t-shirt or top. I've still tried to stay presentable by keeping my hair neat and wearing a touch of makeup. And have changed my nail polish several times as a source of amusement!</p> <p>Next week I'll resume 'dressing as usual' but this week it felt indulgent and vacation-ish to chill out in comfies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-in-loungewear--for-now#post-2107176 Fri, 20 Mar 2020 11:34:16 +0000 Brooklyn 2107176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear wide leg pants plus knit top on cooler days or wide leg shorts plus knit top or tee on warmer days. No shoes in the house. It is a bit lounge wearish. But I do lots of rehab exercises in between working during the day, so I need to be comfortable. I’ve experimented with wearing skirts and dresses at home but generally don’t find them comfortable for my exercises (unless it’s a skort). I wouldn’t say I’m bored with my WFH outfit but I do miss dressing up to go out </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-in-loungewear--for-now#post-2107175 Fri, 20 Mar 2020 11:17:47 +0000 Anonymous 2107175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!&nbsp; Loving it.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-in-loungewear--for-now#post-2107174 Fri, 20 Mar 2020 11:16:56 +0000 kkards 2107174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>on monday I wore loungewear, and realized that was fine for a one off, but if i was going to get thru this, i was going to need to maintain a work/home balance. so, i am changing every morning into jeans and a sweater, ie what i generally wear to work, then after i "leave" the office, i go for a walk, and then change into lounge clothes. it's giving me focus and shape to my days </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-in-loungewear--for-now#post-2107169 Fri, 20 Mar 2020 10:07:42 +0000 Liesbeth 2107169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm only working from home full-time since this week, but I have committed to dressing as if on weekends. That is: casual pieces, but 'real' clothes (not loungewear) and coordinated in the minimal way that marks me when I'm not in try-hard or experimental mode. Even though I thought at first that fashion would be a welcome distraction, I'm just not that interested right now and I'm leaning into my desire for hibernation (whilst remaining in touch over the phone and social media with loved ones of course).</p> <p>Since working from home tends to leave me cold, I'm in a uniform of jeans/ cargo pants and sweater OR leggings and sweater dress every day. Video calls with co-workers have shown me that this is plenty 'dressed up' - many wear plain sweaters and tees now and the formality of our meetings is such that more often than not kids are running in and out of view. These are extraordinary times after all.</p> <p>Lovely to read everyone's stories - the same yet different. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-in-loungewear--for-now#post-2107165 Fri, 20 Mar 2020 06:58:17 +0000 rachylou 2107165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol, Joy :)</p> <p>I did half a half day today... it was office day. I *was* thinking about being clever, then came time to actually dress and it was cold... and then I didn’t see my cowboy boots right off and couldn’t be bothered to go farther into the closet... and then I kept stepping it down until I arrived at brown leopard jeans and combat boots. Lol. But I got a compliment on the boots. Still more exciting than actual production floor wear </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-in-loungewear--for-now#post-2107160 Fri, 20 Mar 2020 04:29:13 +0000 Anonymous 2107160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know it’s bad when a trip to the vet with the dog is a major excursion and you dress up to just sit in the car while the vet comes out for the dog and brings her back after her blood pressure test. I wore silver... metallic pants, tee, scarf, and bag plus white snow boots with a bit of silver trim.

Even with the isolation, I am still trying to keep up my appearance (hair and outfit), because that helps me emotionally.</p> <p>I never wore loungewear, even when I first began working at home. I need to be dressed properly to be able to concentrate and do my work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-in-loungewear--for-now#post-2107145 Fri, 20 Mar 2020 02:28:46 +0000 Jaime 2107145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am basically out of work for the time being, but will be dressing up for myself and others (I hope) amusement as soon as I finish the massive closet purge I am working on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-in-loungewear--for-now#post-2107135 Fri, 20 Mar 2020 01:12:39 +0000 Gretchen 2107135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My primary work at home rule is that I must be out of pajamas before my first work call. So if it’s a early am start (I am not at all a morning person) I’ll start in loungewear. If not, it’s my work at home sweater and jeans uniform. Although, now that I have customer calls on video, I’m going a step higher adding scarves or jewelry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-in-loungewear--for-now#post-2107128 Thu, 19 Mar 2020 22:46:34 +0000 Cardiff girl 2107128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The five levels of stay at home style...now that sounds interesting,l can’t wait.For me personally I enjoy dressing up to go out,like in the good old days when we left the house,remember them?So casual dressing is my norm but I don’t do ultra casual in the day,no pyjamas or lounge wear.Usually I am in work clothes for home chores and then get changed into something neater .l feel better if I have made even a small effort. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-in-loungewear--for-now#post-2107099 Thu, 19 Mar 2020 20:49:36 +0000 Anonymous 2107099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking forward to that post Angie I like seeing that we're all in this together, wherever we are in the world! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-in-loungewear--for-now#post-2107076 Thu, 19 Mar 2020 17:46:02 +0000 Angie 2107076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>High living <b>RunCarla </b>and<b> Jenn</b>!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-in-loungewear--for-now#post-2107075 Thu, 19 Mar 2020 17:44:32 +0000 Angie 2107075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just wrote a post about this!

At the time, it was black ponte pants and an oversized black button-down. I've adjusted over time, and now my WFH uniforms are a jumpsuit and a dress.&nbsp;</p> <p>It's pretty funny to watch Husband and Son adjust to this new reality. Yesterday, they were both (Son is in college with online classes) in the universal videoconferencing uniform, fully dressed up top, with lounge pants on the bottom. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-in-loungewear--for-now#post-2107006 Thu, 19 Mar 2020 14:06:56 +0000 ChristelJ 2107006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I live in loungewear til about noon, but lately in the afternoon I get dressed in some nicer casual clothes in the attempt to cheer me and my husband up a little bit. It's ironic that I am dressing up probably more than usual now that we are not going anywhere! I have so many clothes, and I'm done with the "save it for good" attitude... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-in-loungewear--for-now#post-2107005 Thu, 19 Mar 2020 14:05:26 +0000 Anonymous 2107005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all! I have been showering and wearing makeup each day, just putting on fresh loungewear. Yes to more durable among the little claws!<br /> I did wear gear leggings yesterday, since I'm biking after the workday is done (gyms are closed). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-in-loungewear--for-now#post-2107001 Thu, 19 Mar 2020 14:01:18 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 2107001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been wearing a lot more workout wear, so I can do stuff like work in the garden or take a walk intermittently with other less physical activities. I know jeans and a knit tee aren't too fancy for that sort of thing but I always seem to get dirt or sweat on things halfway through the day and then feel like I need to change. </p>
