can't get dressed (not talking fashion or coordination or looking in the mirror here, just dressed enough it's not indecent exposure) and walk out your apartment door? never mind to the mail box?

Yep ~~~ if it weren t for getting dressed to go to work most mornings, I would never have a bra or shoes on let alone something ""presentable"" ...

Sometimes it is because I just feel like a slob and other days because I truly don t care !!!

Especially when we re having temps of 100* and no relief in sight ~~~ Those days, I don t even want to open the door let alone go outside.

We've got a cool down coming, weekend's only supposed to be in the upper 70s (it's in the middle 80s now).

Yes, there are days I just throw on an old patched housedress and call it done. Most days I put on shorts (soft tshirt type material) and a scrub top without a bra and I'm done. (Love pockets in my scrubs.) If I have to go out, a pair of capris, a bra and my scrub top. I have two pair of Black capris, so they match any shirt I have, makes it easier to deal with than color coordinating things.

I very seldom dress. I usually wear my jammies all day, then take a shower and put new ones on. If I have to go out anywhere, it's a skirt, (with light pants underneath) a sports bra, and a loose shirt. Many times I walk across the street in my jams. (I live out in the country) so I know exactly what you mean. HUGS

Lovin' my scrub bottoms, sports bra, t shirt and flip flops. It's a fashion statement that's sure to trend.
My postings are based purely on personal and professional experience. I'm no expert or M.D., and always recommend a physicians opinion and treatment plan. I don't practice medicine, law or ethics. I'm just a nurse hoping to give as much as I take. Peace.

My scrub bottoms are a little too small to be comfortable... always got a wedgie with 'em!

Besides, with reading glasses, cell phone, keys, sunglasses... I've always got something in my pockets, so scrub tops are so comfy, cotton so they breathe in this heat, and they have POCKETS! TongueTongueTongue

a friend gave me a bunch of scrub bottoms and I got a wedgie with every pair! Hate those things. I have two pair of black capri that I wear everywhere I have to dress. I also have a belly dancing costume but that's another story.

I am a pajama kind of girl...and my neighbors know it. Maybe that's why they never come over hahahaha j/k

Now that's funny... I also have 2 pair of black capris which is what I wear when I have to go out (well, in the winter it's either my sweats with the wolf print fleece on the bottom, or my ONE pair of regular pants I own).
