Now I’m spending increasing amounts of time at work, and therefore dressed for work I’ve noticed my weekend and day off outfits have become increasingly casual. I used to feel like I had to get dressed up every day. Dresses, tights, nice shoes…now I relish the time I can spend in elasticated waists, bare feet and plain vests. Sunday was a typical example of this…
Maxi skirt and vest, both Primark.
And now, what I wear for work is what I once wore on a day to day basis.
Matalan dress, Primark tights. Shoes ended up being my suede Jeffrey Campbell lace ups, at this point I hadn’t decided/couldn’t locate them.
Did you notice a change in how you dressed when you started work? It’s come late for me, as it was only this year that I got a “proper job” with decent hours and I think my need to dress up everyday was to justify my not working/give the impression there was more happening in my life. Of course, there are some days, even lazy days that simply call for a pretty dress or killer shoes, but on the whole I have now fully embraced casual dressing (although I draw the line at going out in my PJS/ a joggers + UGG combo as much of my town find acceptable).
