</div>

Grey yoga pants, white v-neck tee-shirt, bra and panties. I have my fuzzy slippers on the floor in front of me, in case I need to get up (cold floors). I have a warm brown blanket over me, too.

I love working from home.

Black slacks, black socks, black dress shoes, Dark bluish (might have some purple in it… Not sure) button up shirt, boxers, contacts, watch and wedding ring. Same thing I wear every Monday - Thursday. (The color of the shirt changes each day, though)

</div>

a pair or pretty beat-up jeans and a purple long-sleeved shirt. Going to add some white socks and truly grungy sneakers in a few minutes. beige bra, turquoise panties, green watch. Going to probably put some [pre-wrap](http://www.geardiary.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/pre-wrap-hair-care.jpg) in my hair, but haven’t decided the color.

Didn’t have school and it’s a work day, so I’m dressed to work my grungy-ass job.

Was planning on working at work today, so I’m wearing my grey suit pants, a black v-neck sweater and royal blue lace cami underneath (it looks better than it sounds). But we had six inches of snow last night. Preschool & daycare were open, so I took the kids in late, but came home to work instead of driving 40 miles to work; I’ll probably pick them up early, too - hopefully they’ll have some time to play in the snow.

Can I join in the lameness?

</div>

Black lounge pants, panties, one of hubby’s long-sleeved polo shirts (it got a grease stain on it, so he can’t wear it for work any more, but it’s uber-soft, and I _love_ the baggy fit of it), fuzzy socks, my glasses, and the same jewelry I wear every day, which is wedding ring, engagement ring, Tanzanite pendant, two Tanzanite bracelets.

For me, just about every day is a work-from-home day, so this is the manner in which I’m usually dressed. 🙂

</div>

Gray-and-black heathered turtleneck sweater over a bright purple T-shirt over a neon turquise bra. Greyish-blue slacks. Smartwool socks with snowflake design. _peeks quickly_ Multicolored striped panties, mostly pink and green and light blue. Ancient black Reeboks that really should be left in the early 90s where they belong :eek: but they have better traction than my other shoes, even after all these years.

On the outside, I look drab and probably almost dowdy. But I’m a rockin’ ball of colorful and sexy underneath! 😃

I have to change my entry for the day - I spilled tea on my bathrobe (with some assistance from a pet bird) so I am now wearing gray long underwear and a green sweatshirt.

The birds are still wearing just their feathers, but the are now wearing them while sitting in their cages instead of next to my beverage mug.

Black (or almost black) jeggings, black and white argyle sweater over black tank top, ankle boots, and my day of the week underoos. (Yes, I’m wearing Thursday.)

My standard work clothes: dark concert or funny slogan tee, flannel or similar button down, jeans, dark socks and Redwing work shoes. Wheee.

I wish I had run into this thread earlier, but since I wore the same stuff all day and still have it on:

Cotton wide-leg lounge pants striped in purple, lavender, white, light green and dark green. Matching long sleeved cotton thermal shirt in dark green, with LL Bean magenta sheepskin/wool slippers.

Cornbread in the oven. It’s been a nice day off.

Jeans (it snowed, plus it’s Friday) and a nice patterned sweater in dark colors over a mauve/pink turtleneck.

Today I’m wearing a hideous teal green velour ‘mom’ tracksuit (given to me by, oddly enough, my mom). A $3 Miley Cyrus racerback black cotton tank top underneath. I’m wearing this because my jeans seem to have shrunk over Christmas, and because I’m at home, no one to see me, and I have to go out and shovel the driveway later so the worker bees can get their cars on it after work, off the street.

It’s probably not, but something about this combination strikes me that it’s a euphemism for something.

Never mind, carry on…
