Does anyone get changed more than twice a day?

[deaddei]

I dress fairly smartly for work- not suits, but black trousers etc. I come home from work say 2pm and think "ooh the bathrooms need cleaning". So I get changed into something "scruffy", as I'm a bit heavy handed with the bleach etc. Then I might have to pop to the shops for something for tea- and need to get changed again, maybe jeans.
Is it just me?
Do normal women swan round in Toast/Jigsaw outfits all day? I always think, do these women do no housework?

tulpe - apols

[browntrout]

tuple - I do have a set proper overalls. It's navy (Dickies work wear I think) and press studs all the way up. I love wearing it (mostly for cleaning out the chickens and garden stuff) and feel like a land girl in it. May invest in a flowery head scarf to complete the look. It was my partner's at one time so is on big side.

[VerityBrulee]

Yes, often change clothes several times a day depending on my mood. I have a short attention span!

[UndomesticHousewife]

I'm in and out of my 'going out of the door' clothes and my 'cooking, cleaning, house' clothes all day. But that's because I cannot be in the house in a pair of jeans or whatever, I have to have tracksuit bottoms on or I can't relax or do anything for some strange reason.
But I keep the same top on all day, just change in and out of different trousers all day.

[bebesequin]

Yep several changes for me-PJS early am breakfasts and general tidying -work clothes IE good stuff- then home into casual housework friendly gear may change top if doing school run- then evening wear dependant on wether there is any potential sex in which case it might be the slightly nicer PJs

[CristinaTheAstonishing]

DD1 changes millions of times during the day and it can be annoying, piles of half-worn clothes on her chest of drawers, things going to be washed because they've just lied around for too long.

[LetThemEatCake]

oh and I don't clean. I have (whispers) a cleaner. A well dressed one, mind...

[LetThemEatCake]

Christina: I don't put barely worn clothes in the wash, they go back in wardrobe for another few wears.

I tend to get dressed reasonably nicely in the a.m since we're out most mornings (park, playgroup, nursery etc). Afternoon is getting dinner sorted while finger painting etc so scruffier jeans/ old dresses/ old tees for that.., then yoga pants etc after dcs are in bed so I can sit comfortably cross-legged on sofa and work... Then pjs, obviously. Different again if going out for the evening, or havinv people over, of course.

[BloodRedTulips]

i only clean at weekends when i'm in scruffy clothes anyway

[pooka]

Changed three times yesterday. DS2 is very gifted at shimmying across my shoulder and puking on my clothes, neatly missing the muslins artfully draped for the purpose.

[MaMight]

I do.

Bunged on a mostly clean frock to get everyone breakfasted and out of the house this morning.

Showered and dressed in a skirt and top to go and see my friend.

Ds has managed to cover me in snot and biscuits so I'll change before going to see another friend this afternoon.

Then I'll put on running kit to go running later.

Will shower again after run and either change into 5th outfit of the day if we go out this evening, or will more likely revert back to mostly clean frock I started out in for sofa lolling and channel surfing.

I only wash things if they really need it, but in a hot country and with small children my clothes get smelly and dirty pretty quickly. I do keep mostly clean things on my bedroom chair for hodging about at home in.

[MrsBadger]

just you

If I am doing housework involving bleach I will take off good clothes but (crucially) not put anything else on. Then dress again once finished.
But you can hoover quite well in nice trousers, you know.

The only exception is if I am going out (will put on nice top with work trous) or to yoga (will put on yoga clothes) etc

Half-worn things are folded neatly on top of the chest of drawers to await another outing - only actual clean things go back in the wardrobe.

[meltedmarsbars]

I get changed if I get muddy....and when I get ready for bed.

Isn't that enough?

[Bleh]

I just don't clean. Saves on having to change outfits .

I do sometimes, depending on what I'm doing (obviously don't go to gym in work clothes, or sleep in gym clothes and what not).

[CristinaTheAstonishing]

can I ask again, what do you do with barely worn clothes? Do you keep them around for the next few days until they are worn (or not) and thrown in the washing basket, put them back 'as new' in the wardrobe?

[LaurieFairyCake]

I try to minimise changes cos of the washing but I have no qualms in wearing a clean vest and jammy bottoms in bed every night.

I get changed into them about 6-ish too. During the day I'm usually in work clothes which are casual-ish - jeans, nice top, long cardie.

[Northernlurker]

I just do work clothes then something comfy when I get home. At the weekend if I'm cleaning I will stay in my pajamas to do that though.

[ScaryFucker]

nah, cos you luuurve clothes

[LetThemEatCake]

because I have 3 children aged 3 and under and get messy quickly??

LOL

[ScaryFucker]

ltec, why does that not surprise me

[LetThemEatCake]

yep, me too, at least a few changes a day

[CristinaTheAstonishing]

What do you do with the ones you change out of but have only worn for 1/2 hour? Into the washing machine (making more work for yourself and not saving the planet) or keep them around the bedroom, put them back in the wardrobe even if they're not properly clean? I ask because my DD1 is prone to millions of changes through the day.

[overmydeadbody]

I change outfits all the time.
