[quote=Anonymous]I have always worked in person full time, even through covid. About 10 months ago I took another opportunity that is 100%.remote and for the first time ever I have been remote since Fall 2025.

Despite being 100% remote I still dress up fully with work attire (pencil skirts, blouse etc. On Friday I will wear a nice polo with a navy skirt. I still wear makeup and do hair every morning.  My only concession is I don't wear tights or leggings (during cool months) or dress shoes. I wear comfy slippers. But no one sees my feet. I know it's weird but at home during my lunch break I walk around in my business dressy outfit and look down and see fuzzy slippers.  I guess it's still weird for me working at home.

I do have frequent daily teams calls. I always have my camera on for smaller meetings. If I am one of many at a large meeting it is camera's off. Even though with small meetings only about 10% of people use cameras.  It's so weird having one on one meetings and talking to a fixed head shot.

I'm not sure why I'm posting. I guess I was just mulling over fashion choices and wfh culture.  And perhaps if fashion is perhaps pointless.  But I have dressed up my whole life. Sometimes I feel like I'm dressed up for the proverbial party but there is no party to go to.  I don't even really own many casual clothes.

I walk my dog in the very early morning (after I'm dressed up for the day). For the dog walk though I obviously put keds on.  I see the same people and sometimes we chat. The other day the lady I always see outside asked me where I work. I told her I from home doing such and such.  She was so surprised and thought I worked in the city.

I love wfh but I feel like I'm in a little funk. I can't imagine not dressing up bc that's what I've always done. I've always dressed up for me. But sometimes I wonder if nothing matters anymore since we all sit behind screens. I could have athletic shorts on waist down and no one would no. I would know though. And I've never ever dressed in athletic wear unless I'm exercising or out running.  I wouldn't even go to the grocery store in athletic wear. Unless I just left the gym of course.

Sorry for the ramble. Anyone else had a struggle from ft office to ft remote?
