It would be easy to believe – from viewing the majority of photos on this blog – that I lounge about unclothed most of the time.
(Or that when I *do* wear clothes, the clothes I wear fall exclusively into the category of ‘Christmas sweaters’ or ‘pajamas’. 😛 )
HOWEVER
Regardless of how it may seem…
I really am dressed most of the time. Really!
Yes, even with the Coronapocalypse and having to work from home (which is a less-than-20% thing for me, because What I Do For A Living doesn’t translate well to the home environment), I am still dressed.
Often in jeans.
Sometimes in leggings.
Almost always – this time of year – in boots.
But also — provided they are of the comfortable variety — in dresses.
Like so:
I wore this ensemble (plus an oversized boyfriend-style gray sweater and a muted-colors scarf during the ‘outdoor’ part of my day) to work recently (yes, really — even with the leg showing) and — unlike when I wear pants ensembles, which I feel I must peel off at the first opportunity and trade in for “slipping into something a little more comfortable” — I was so comfy that I was still in it several hours later (post-grocery-shopping and dinner-cooking).
And what with me being ever-so-ladylike and all…
*snort*
I tested its comfy-factor with a good old fashioned SPRAWL.
The verdict:
This particular dress definitely passed the ‘comfortably-dressed’ test.
Oh! And for my blogging friends who are shopping pros (I’m looking at you, Fondles): The dress cost me a whopping $7. Woot! 😉
Ahem.
And now, in my best phone-sex voice:
What are you wearing, hmmm?

Saturday Night Fever is my weekly, probably-contains-photos, check-in-with-readers posting project for 2021. The general point being to add a little warmth to your weekend. (Get it? Saturday night? Fever? Weekend warmth?)
Ahem.

Oh I like your look ! Probably because I dress in similar way.. black pants vs the leggings but I love the look of a tunic-length top or short dress over them. And I just don’t feel right unless I wear black knee-high flat boots when I go out. Seemed to be popular in the early 90s but I didn’t copy a fad and still basically dress that way. Why not stick with what we like, eh ?
I’m a fan of the longer lengths in shirts, for sure. The cropped 80s-style tops that are being made again right now? No, thanks!
And all the YES to the boots! 🙂
I am working from home 95% of the time, and still dress as if I go to the office. We set the alarm, shower, get dressed and then come downstairs and log in to work. It’s only on Sundays that I walk around in comfortable clothes/pajamas. Oh, the only thing I don’t wear when working from home, are shoes. I prefer my slippers, and have said that when we return to work mainly at the office, I am taking my slippers with me 😉

I think for those who are stuck working from home full time, when before they would go to an office, “getting dressed” is a way to create boundaries. It’s a physical representation of “this is my work space” in what would otherwise be “home space.”
I have a very cute pair of hippopotamus slippers I wear around the house. My husband teases me about my “hippo feet.” 😛
I felt the warmth when I saw your first photo, Feve.
: grin :
Super cute outfit. My style completely. I will say, the pandemic has surely changed my closet. I am all about comfort, even when I go out. And now that I am back to work, with real students looking back at me, I am struggling a bit to pull together professional ensembles. I think I forgot how to dress.
I’m pretty sure there are a lot of people in your shoes (in your clothes?) right now, re: trying to remember how to dress. 😉
I’ve had to be dressing for work all along during the Coronapocalypse, but I’ve definitely shifted my focus to comfort over the past few years (mostly due to age) — I’ve always been sensitive to the ‘feel’ of fabrics against my skin, but that seems magnified now; if it’s not soft, I don’t want it touching me!
Super duper score. 7 bucks? wot? Awesome. I’ma gonna try and beat that. Challenge accepted! HAHA.
(Sorry I missed this post, I must have been dealing with some crap when you posted this.. or else I was just busy with pre CNY baking… sigh… it continues tho, I’m almost done, but not QUITE.)
Yes — definitely a score!
All that CNY celebration food? The very thought of baking makes me hungry. *laugh*
Right now the Mister and I are making inroads on his birthday cake. It’s so so yummy, but SO many calories! 😱
Yummy cakes are usually synonymous with many calories! LOL.
And a happy birthday to him!
My goodness – this new project of yours completely bypassed me! Must have escaped my emails some how. Found the badge on Marie’s site and clicked through. I will be getting involved whenever i can – just off to read the page now

Loved this – I have a similar dress code for my work look. At home, however, that attitude is ruined by me swapping boots for slippers!
