How long after you get home do you stay in your "outside the house" clothes.

Lemme explain. Most of us (I'm assuming) have a wardrobe we consider "outside" clothes -- for work, school, lunches, running errands, etc. Stuff you'd wear when you have shoes on your feet.

Once you get home from wherever you've been, do you stay in those clothes? For how long?

I have a friend who gets dressed basically the second her alarm clock goes off and stays "done up" until she goes to bed at night. I, on the other hand, stay in my pjs as long as possible in the morning and am back in said pjs (or sweats or yoga pants) no more than ten minutes after walking back in my front door in the afternoon.

Well, it depends on the day. I usually stay in pjs or sweats on the days I'm working from home. When I go into the office, I stay in those clothes until I shower and go to bed because I feel like things are too hectic for me to change when I get home. I don't wear suits or anything to work, though, it's usually just business casual. Any errand-running clothes I keep on all day because they're usually comfy jeans and a sweater.

True story: For the first few weeks after Alex was born I lived in a nursing bra and sweatpants and usually had my bewbies hanging out and some kind of spit-up on me. I shudder at the thought now.

I'm like you, SBS. I don't put on my suit or business casual clothes till the last possible seconds in the morning. Then as soon as I get home for the day I put on comfy clothes.

Now for just regular clothes (jeans, sweatshirts, whatever) I usually leave those on a little longer, but I sometimes switch into yoga pants.

Weekdays, I get dressed the second I wake up (or get out of the shower), since I'm inevitably running late. Then when I get home, I change out of my suit and into more comfortable clothes, but something still acceptable to be out in public in, unless I've already worked out, then I shower and get into lounge wear (yoga pants, pajamas, etc.). On the weekends, I don't get dressed until it's time to go out of the house or after I shower. I'm honestly most comfortable in jeans, a t-shirt, and a hoodie (if cold).

If I'm in my house, I'm in sweats. In my old working days, the first thing I did was change into comfy clothes. And now I have to remember to swap out new sweats each day since I don't tend to leave the house very often. :-/

Since I work out of my house, I pretty much live in yoga pants and a t-shirt or hoodie.  I think because of that, I'm totally spoiled.  When I do go out in the evenings or on the weekends to run errands or go to dinner or whatever, obviously I'll put on "real" clothes.  But...as soon as I walk in the door...I almost immediately walk upstairs and put on my comfy pants and a hoodie (or t-shirt).

I change as soon as I walk through the door!  I prefer to be comfortable and that consists of the bra coming off and the fat pants & hoodie going on.  Also, due to the nature of my job I sit on a lot of various floors and other surfaces in homes throughout the day.  Some of them are pretty nasty, and I almost inevitably end up covered in some sort of kid germ.  I really don't want to be spreading that yuck around my house!
