Is everybody still getting dressed daily?

[ImfinallyaMummy]

Is there any point anymore?

Up later - 8 rather than 7 - but still shower. I’m wearing my layer tops rather than my naice ones. I’ve had the same jeans on mine you for nearly a week ... Also I’ve got very lazy with ironing.

Nope. I have been living in pyjamas since my shielding started. It doesn't seem to affect my ability to WFH and I figure that with the sudden drastic drop in our income due to DH'a refusal to furlough him any little thing that I can do to reduce expenditure on power and water with clothes washing, etc, will all help.

Shower and minimal makeup, leave hair to dry naturally

But I'm not getting up til 11ish each day unless I have to!!

I feel rotten if I don't shower and get dressed

Yes getting dressed every day. I do prefer to do housework in my PJs, so like the weekends I do it in the morning then shower/dress just before lunch.

Like others, I'd probably sink into a depression if I didn't

No but certainly not ironing clothes though

Yes and I do my hair. I have worked from home for a long time and routine has always been important. People often say "how do you manage to not sit in your PJ's and watch TV all day?" I have a job to do, if I don't, I don't get paid, so I get up and ready properly and I go to work.

Yes, I may be having a later start but still like to get dressed and makeup.
To be fair I’m only putting leggings and a T-shirt and cardi on, (pregnancy excuse) but I love getting into pj’s at the end of the day and feeling fresh

Yes, otherwise I feel ill. I have to keep some sense of normality and routine or my depression and anxiety ramp up.

Only into comfy clothes but yes, washed and dressed every day. Otherwise all the days blur together.

Sort of. Work blouse with tracksuit bottoms for my work days. Earrings and tidy hair.
Usual track pants and sweater for non working days.

Yes, but I have DC with MH issues so I'm modelling a routine and self-care for their benefit and encouraging them to do the same.

I suspect if I were in lockdown on my own I'd spend the whole time in PJs watching TV, though.

People often say "how do you manage to not sit in your PJ's and watch TV all day?"

My answer would be "how do you manage to sit in your pyjamas and watch TV all day?"
That would depress the hell out of me TBH. I don't understand how people can feel motivated to do anything when still in their nightclothes.

Although I am not dressing up to the nines I am still dressed, and decent enough to go to the supermarket in what I am wearing.

I think my MH would take a massive hit if I didn't get dressed every day.

I also own 3 dogs and I walk them at 6 am every day so I get dressed to leave the house.

Of course! I'm WFH and have a lot of online meetings and teaching, so I'm still wearing a suit and washing my hair every day. I've even ordered some more contact lenses. On my two days off per week, I usually have one busy day of housework, online appointments etc. (for which I get dressed first thing) and one chillout day (when I slob around reading and get dressed later than usual).

I was just putting leggings and a hoodie or comfies on, no make up, hair scraped back.

Today I’ve put on a maxi dress, jumper over the top, full face of make up and I’ve curled my hair. I feel so much better for it.

Yes, I've been depressed in the past and not wanting to get dressed was part of that, so this would feel too much like a personal sign I wasn't coping. (I understand it's different for everyone).

I also think being dressed before 9 helped the kids see they were ready to start 'school'.

I've had a few days were I had a shower at a different time of day than first thing, but yes, getting dressed before starting the work day helps. (I have to log into see emails from 8am)

I didn't wear any makeup for the first few days, and as I'm running very low on foundation, I'm only bothering with that for video conference days, but am wearing mascara as it helps me feel I'm work ready.

The DCs are allowed to pick their own clothes, there's been some interesting choices, but frankly if you can't wear a blue and red skort with pink and purple t-shirt, navy knee high socks and hiking boots while in the middle of a lockdown, when can you?!

I'm really considering putting on an evening gown for my video conference rescheduled drinks with friends this evening...

Yep. Showered and dressed in work clothes to WFH. Get changed when I have finished. I am lucky that I have a dedicated space to work in the house so I can distinguish between work and home a bit. I need the routine to keep me focussed.

I go and get some daylight in the garden at breakfast and lunchtime.

Yes but only in comfy clothes.

Gave up on make up pretty quickly as the camera on my laptop is blurry no one can tell! Some did say I'd worn the same jumper two days in a row though

Yes of course I am. Shower and wash my hair every day too. I would feel a complete slob if not

I haven’t been, but I got ill a while before lockdown and have lived in pyjamas. I’ve walked a couple of times the last few days but in leggings and a pyjama top under my coat 😳

Tempted to live in pyjamas a few more days as I now have epic period pain but I did actually put proper clothes on today and I feel mentally a bit better for it so I think I’ll try and keep going with that.

In particular I need to start wearing earrings in the day as it gets painful putting them in after a few days without

Yes, only makeup is eyebrow pencil.

Shower, moisturised, dressed (in comfy jersey gear), hair washed every two days, no make up but earrings on!

I am still working & on video conf calls a lot but I think I still would anyway.

PJ's and braless for 3 weeks. Just had a very long soak in a lovely bath and I will be getting back into my lovely clean pair of PJ's shortly.
I have been poorly with probable CV and am just starting to feel human again - but the PJ's are here to stay.
I will not be wearing clothes until this is all over.

Yes, I don’t like it the feeling of staying in pjs. It makes me feel depressed / ill so I need to get washed and dressed for the sake of my mental health. I’m only wearing leggings and tunics, cardigans etc but I feel a lot better for it.

Yes, just sticking to my normal routine for showering, washing hair and getting dressed. I've never been much of a make-up wearer - only for evenings out - so I'm not bothering with that.
I think it's important to have a routine and stick to it. Some people might be different but I wouldn't get anything done if I was just sitting around in my pyjamas all day. I don't have as much work as normal but I still have some so I'm doing that 3 days a week and the rest of the week I am doing jobs around the house and some other projects I've always wanted to get on with but never had time.
I'm in another country and we were locked down before the UK. It's been almost 3 weeks now and this has become my new normal.
If it continues a lot longer I can cope as I have structure to my new normality and for me, this starts with getting dressed. If I was sitting around in pyjamas for a couple of months I think my mental health would deteriorate very rapidly.
