![]() ![]() But even then, my respectable clothes are things with stretchy waistbands, no heels, nothing that might be any effort to wear. ![]() I do put reasonable clothes on, and make-up and earrings, just to nip to the shops, because if I didn't I would end up looking like a bag lady all the time instead of just 80% of it. After a while, it becomes really hard to wear anything else. and now we come to the downside of wearing comfortable clothes because you are at home all the time. In SAL, you can go shopping, receive visitors, even go to the pub if there is not likely to be anyone in there who you want to impress. Or a natty hat, as worn by actor Josh Holloway, below. It might be smart leggings and a huge but presentable t-shirt. My sister and I have a name for the one in between at-home-only disgusting garments, and work clothes: this is socially acceptable leezurewear. There are different grades of leezurewear. I went to work dressed in flattering trousers and some sort of smart top, a conscious choice based on aesthetics, unlike the clothes I put on when I got home, which would be ill-fitting, ill matched, and with coffee stains down the front within an hour or so of putting them on (whether I'd drunk coffee or not, it seemed). The office in which I worked was not one of those that required me to wear anything too smart, but I still had to look respectable. When I worked in an office, the first thing I did when I got home was to get into my old faithfuls, waiting for me upstairs. ![]()
