And yes, that is a throw blanket over my legs. My home office is in our basement, and even though it's like 82 degrees outside, it's always cold in my office.
I'm also trying to get on board with the whole there's-no-need-to-dress-up-everyday thing. I really miss my pencil skirts, blouses and 4 inch heels, but there's just no point when I'm the only one who can see what I'm wearing. So I just ordered some t-shirts, skirts and shorts from Old Navy, to beef up my casual clothes collection. I didn't realize just how few casual items I had in my wardrobe, but I only owned 5 t-shirts and 2 pairs of shorts, definitely not enough for my new working from home needs.
If you worked from home (or do work from home), would you still dress up every day, or would you embrace the opportunity to wear more casual clothes?
P.S. In the above picture you can see a glimpse of my new desk (or desks, since I bought 3!). Tomorrow I'm going to start showing off my home office decorating progress, we'll just have to wait to see how close it ends up being to my inspiration board I made several months back.
As one home worker to another, I hear you! I love it when my kitties come sit with me during the day, and I also just bought some new casual clothes to wear around the house. I still get to wear my old "work" clothes to class, so at least they get some use!
I am SOOOO jealous. The best thing about working from home would be 1) not having to commute 2) wearing pajamas all day and 3) not being around all my coworkers. The kitty is also a great added bonus :)
I missed the same thing when I started working from home, all my clothes! I love having my dogs hanging out with me in my office, they are the best cube-mates I've ever had!
I'm pretty sure I'd definitely wear casual clothes from day to day if I could! Even though it's sometimes fun to dress up for work, I am more comfy in sweats or jeans at home! Also, cat hair on work clothes...no thanks! Cute kitty! Did your kitties tolerate the long drive for the move OK?(I have been following your moving posts but I didn't see if you mentioned that.
Cuddle time really is the best. I love going home for lunch every day to see my dogs.
I think if I worked from home, I definitely wouldn't stay in my pajamas, but wear my usual casual "jeans, top, blazer/jacket" that I wear on weekends. It's comfortable, but I feel put together when I wear it!

I have a deep love for shoes, anything with garlic on it, and all things DIY. Just a West Coast 30-something adjusting to life in the South with my husband and 3 kitties. To pay the bills I'm a marketing professional, but my true love is crafting and working on decor projects. And now that we are homeowners, I love taking on bigger renovation projects side-by-side with my husband, as we strive to make our new house a home.

While I work from home really well in my pjs... I actually work best from home when all dressed up. It makes me feel professional and spiffy!
Oooh please have a fashion show with your Old Navy clothes, I need some inspiration!
Awww, I wish my office had a cats-allowed policy ;)

I wish I could work from home! On the few occasions I have been able to, I just wore normal casual clothes like shorts and tees or jeans and sweaters.
