What to Wear

I read a lot of articles about working from home. There seems to be some sort of debate about what to wear, or what not to wear if you work from home. People are all different and what works for you may not work for somebody else. I would say wear whatever you are comfortable wearing while you are being productive.

When I began working from home I thought it was the greatest thing! For the first few days I would get out of bed early and start working almost right away. Yes, I was still in my pajamas. I would then take a shower and get dressed at lunch time. One day the UPS guy came to my door before lunch time. I was in the ugliest pajamas and my hair was sticking up all over the place. I looked in the mirror and was embarrassed and disgusted with myself. After that, I started taking a shower first thing every morning and getting dressed. Even if I was only wearing jeans and a t-shirt, I just felt better about myself.

So, if you're comfortable looking like a slob, then don't sweat it. But if you're like me, you might want to make yourself presentable, even if it's only to keep from throwing up when you look in the mirror.
