Getting Dressed

Hi Ladies, question for you.  Do you get dressed every day, even on the days you know you're not going out of the house?

DH travels a lot so there are some days I don't see anyone but my DD.  I don't get dressed everyday. I shower at night after DD has gone to sleep so sometimes I just go from one pair of jammy's to another.  I am wondering if it's effecting my productivity and if getting dressed would make me feel more motivated?

    Yes, I do.. but in comfy, cute clothes.  I don't like wearing jeans at home so I put on comfy pants that fit and a fitted shirt always.  I always do my hair and makeup too

    You may have an idea there...I don't always get dressed and now that I'm thinking about it I get more done on the days I do get dressed....interesting theory.

    I only get dressed/do my hair/put on makeup if we're leaving the house.  Otherwise I wear yoga pants/tshirts etc., and give my skin a break.  I don't think it effects my productivity, because I'm a lot more productive when I'm comfortable!

    Whether or not it will effect your productivity is hard for me to say, but I get dressed every day no  matter what.  I have no real reason why I do, other than that's what I've been doing for the past 28+ years.  My wardrobe consists of jeans and shirts/sweaters/tanks depending on the season, but I don't wear yoga pants or anything like that.

    I didn't' pay too close attention to your baby ticker, but she seems like a newborn, so I wouldn't worry too much about being productive just yet.  Making it through the feedings, diaper changes and making a meal for yourself *gasp* is accomplishment enough!

    I shower and do my hair every morning, and always get dressed whether I'm going out or not.  I've noticed, with myself, that I feel better about myself, and am more productive when I look decent.  If I don't I just feel blah and then nothing gets done.

    Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't.
    Today, I didn't take a shower and get dressed until 2:15. However, I was up until after midnight last night working and then felt horrible after getting up too early this morning.

    I try to get up, shower, and dress every day, but it doesn't always happen. Also, if cleaning bathrooms is on my to-do list for today (or just lots of cleaning in general) I won't shower right away. I hate getting dressed and fixing my hair just to clean and feel yucky again.
