Is everybody still getting dressed daily?

[ImfinallyaMummy]

Is there any point anymore?

Yes.
I have been severely depressed in the past and know how important it is for me to keep to a routine.

Yep, always shower and get dressed in the morning otherwise I feel skanky. I'm not bothering with make-up though and only wearing casual clothes as I'm doing a lot of DIY etc in between work stuff.

Yes, I shower and wash my hair every day. I put some make up on and some clean comfy clothes - leggings and a jumper.

I would feel totally unmotivated and miserable if I didn’t.

Yes, it's definitely better for my mental health.

Yes I still get up , showered , dressed and bit of make up everyday.

Just makes me feel better and more organised and ready to face the day.

I go out every day a walk with the 3 DC so might as well be up and ready for that.

Yes, I never not get dressed, however I have started to wear pj bottoms as I am finding jeans uncomfortable especially as I am sat on the sofa all day. (Whilst working)

Yes but I don't wear clothes at night and don't have net curtains!

No make up though

Yes, definitely, always. I've had problems with depression and anxiety in the past and not getting up and dressed is linked for me with feeling worse

^this is true for me too.

I wake up naturally at 5am ish, enjoy staying in bed and not rushing. then get up 5.45 get dressed have a coffee catch up on the news channels. 6.30am go out to walk the dog and turn my horse out.

Get home change clothes, then potter about.

I haven't worn a bra since lock down started, I wasn't a big bra wearer anyway, mainly wore them for going to work.

Yes, I feel much better once I do

yup - helps me get into work mode. I also have the occasional video call.

shower, bit of makeup (concealer, blusher, mascara), decent top. Plus I went in to cover on call yesterday, so today I still have the benefits of yesterday's proper blow-dry. My concession to WFH is jeans and trainers for the bottom half.

urgh, rogue x. I'm obviously not kissing in the current clime.

Driving home from work (nhs) yesterday pm DD and I were amused to see social distancing in action. A woman in her dressing gown stood on her doorstep having a fag with a fully dressed mate stood a couple of feet away.

Definitely. , comfortable clothes, leggings etc, but full make up every day, hair done. Need that difference between day and evening . Besides, I’d never slob around in front of my DH.

Yes but I wfh anyway, so it's my part of my routine to still get showered, dressed, and a touch of makeup before I start my working day.

I didn't for the first few months, and after a while it's shit and you need to have a routine and definition of working day.

Yep, every day would feel slobby and unmotivated if I didn't. Tiny bit of make up too.

Yes, shower every morning and get dressed, just jumper and leggings most days and no make up, although I only wore makeup if I was working or going out before. I hate wearing pyjamas in the day, it reminds me of being ill and makes me fell blurgh and right now I certainly don’t need that.

Yes absolutely.
Workout in the morning then showered , dressed and make up.
Out for walk in the afternoon.
It’s important to try and have some sort of routine.

Yes, but some days I bother with make up, other days I can't be arsed. Don't want to look too awful on a conference call!

I get showered, and then right back into whatever clothes I was wearing - which now get washed more frequently!

Yes I have a shower and get dressed each day, don’t bother with makeup and a couple of times this week I’ve left my hair to dry naturally.

I am - although WFH so it helps me feel a bit more productive and less like I am sitting at my kitchen table.

Saying that I am getting my shower and getting dressed on my lunch break

Last week I got up, coffee, v quick shower and dressed into gym stuff or tracksuit bottoms every morning, then went for a walk to sort of simulate going to work. I thought it would be very important to keep a routine in that respect, especially as we are WFH and I do find myself less productive if I am still in pjs with un-brushed teeth etc.

That worked really well and this week I will admit I’ve let things slide. I have been sleeping in, rolling out of bed and switching on the laptop. It’s definitely having an effect on my productivity and energy levels in general.

From Monday I am going back to pretending I need to up and getting somewhere.

Gym clothes everyday cos I'm doing 15mins hiit before lunch and then a run each night. I'm slightly horrified at how quickly I've given.up, but sitting by a laptop all day calls for comfort. I look rough af without makeup, but what's the point in putting it on, just to sit round the house?

I’m only doing for the dc. I’ve learnt from experience that they need a routine or it descends into chaos. If it were just me there’s no way I’d bother!

I get washed and dressed as soon as I get up otherwise i'd still be in my dressing gown at lunchtime. Not wearing anything fancy mind, gym gear if i'm going for a run or do Joe Wicks PE with the DCs or just comfy clothes. I've put on a tiny bit of mascara and bronzer on the days i've looked at bit ropey or been venturing out for a walk. That's it really.
