    Well... when I get off work, I just keep wearing what I was wearing. Unless I need to go somewhere. But see, I work at home! So work wear is my sweat pants :bigsmile:

    I do not even know what "snowblow" really involves...using a snowblower, I'd guess...have never done that, have never even shoveled LOL (although I do have snow in my area)

    But when I get home, I *immediately* put on comfy clothes/pajamas. Always. Anything from super hideous stuff like fleece pj bottoms printed with owls and a baggy thermal from my 2X days, to a cute sporty tee and yoga pants that fit. It doesn't matter. But I don't wear my "out in the world" clothing at home.

    I even do this in the summer when I'm wearing shorts and a tee. I'll come home and put on different shorts/tee. Then change back when I leave my house.

    I've tried to cook dinner in my work clothes and it just feels icky/wrong...noooo

    (My husband also does this, but he's usually in a tee and his underwear)

    I typically don't change until almost right before bed. I will take off my heels and slip into flip flops but its like I soon as I walk through the door I'm checking backpacks, sorting papers/ homework. Starting dinner and doing homework with my kids. Yes... it does suck!

    So what is the argument anyway??

    I work in an office building and wear heels. My dress pants are nice ...and long.. but I always change out of my professional dress (even if is a dress) and hit some yoga pants for lounging. Right now it's so cold so I normally wear a nice hoodie.

    My husband immediately takes off his work clothes too, puts on some basketball shorts, leaves his undershirt and then goes to give the dog love.

    I wear business clothes daily. Today is a dress w/ tall black boots w/ heels. I will go home and immediately remove it all and put on pj pants/yoga pants and a t-shirt ... and slippers.


    I may wear sweats too much in his presence... If we're not out, I'm in sweats *LOL*

    *ETA: yoga pants, t-shirt, whatever.... you get the picture.

    It depends on what is clean or if the answer is "nothing," then what is the least offensive.

    Probably a tank top and shorts or yoga pants. And of course fluffy sheepskin slippers.

    I usually go for jeans and a shirt - rugby or T - unless I'm on the bike or nordic trak. Then it's sweats and a T-shirt then a shower and the bathrobe.

    If I'm snow blowing with the tractor it's a blaze orange one piece over the jeans and boots, goggles if the wind is up. Very fashionable.

    I usually don't change clothes in the winter, but if I do its usually sweats. Now... in the summer, I walk in the door flinging clothes off, and I throw on some shorts and a tank.

    We live together. I'd be miserable trying to dress to impress all the time. He just has to deal with it. lol

    I do try every once in a while to look nicer, but usually I'm just too tired or busy. He really should take me out more ...

    Depends on my mood. Mostly yoga pants and a sweatshirt, and an accompanying stocking cap for this lovely winter we're having. Otherwise Jeans and a sweatshirt maybe 1-2 nights a week.

    why would someone dress up more than that for being at home?

    In his defense, it is a pretty new relationship. I just don't seem to ... care *LOL* I'm a horrible person.

    Well, I'm a stay at home homeschooling mom of 4 so to most people I "don't have a day job" but, I do still get dressed nicely every single day, I like to look nice for myself and my husband and to show my children that even though you do stay home the majority of the day you still need to get yourself ready for the day and look nice as well.

    I play with the baby for a few minutes, then head upstairs and change into yoga pants/capris, a t-shirt and flip-flops!

    The only time that is different is if I have plans after work, then I change into jeans and an appropriate shirt.

    I don't change unless I am going to workout.

    I may loosen my tie.


    I prefer to keep myself attractive in case I walk by a mirror.

    I often wear (nice) jeans to work; the only thing I might change when I get home is taking off a blazer and putting a sweater or sweatshirt on, something like that. And taking my shoes off.

    If I have to be the studio or the gym- fitness/capris pants.

    If I'm not going anywhere for over 2 hrs- sweats.

    othewise- sweats.

    I love my heavy *kitten* modell's sweats. They are amazing.

    edit- as little as possible in the summer. Now- not so much.

    I change into sweats and a ratty old thermal as soon as I'm home . . . and I never wear a bra when I'm at home.

    Shoes off at the door. Put whatever is in my hands on the counter, then... Shirt off, bra off, replaced by a t-shirt or sweatshirt depending on the season. Then pants or skirt and socks/ nylons or tights (if I wore any of those) off and shorts on. If I had to go remove snow, I'd put sweatpants or something similar on. Comfy is the only way to be around home. If you expect more of me, your expectations are to high.

    I rarely have time to change before picking up kids, making dinner, dropping off kids, picking up dry-cleaning, picking kids back up, eating dinner, going over homework with kids, yelling at kids, cleaning up after kids, drying tears of kids, cracking jokes with kids, THEN I change, go to the gym come back see the hubby, shower and change again. :smile:
