Why I Don't Wear Pajamas When I Work From Home

One thing people comment when I say I’m a full-time blogger is, “Oh I bet it’s nice getting to stay in your PJ’s/yoga pants all day!”

That does sound nice, doesn’t it?! Who doesn’t want to be comfy? I love my yoga pants as much as the next girl. But I don’t live in them or wear them when I’m working at home. Here’s why.

I was homeschooled for middle and high school. Even though I was home all day, my mom still made my brother and I get dressed like we were going somewhere. It set the vibe for the day and for my mom, showed her that we were getting down to business.

I’m not saying I walk around the house in my heels with my fake lashes on. It does mean that I get up, put on a dress or jeans/sweater, brush my teeth, wash my face, apply some light makeup and fix my hair. My day can turn on a dime. I can think my day is open when a last-minute meeting or event comes up. I also get campaigns that are due the day after I get the offer! In these instances, it’s nice that I’m already presentable and ready to go shoot or head to a meeting.

If I sit in my PJ’s all day, I feel like I wouldn’t have the get-up and go attitude. If I’m dressed I get the same “get down to the business vibe I had in high school. The look I’m featuring today has been one of my favorite looks for a meeting. It’s casual, fashion-forward and comfortable.
