Lots of Stuff about Stuff

I found a job last fall and, much to my good fortune, it is a solid company and I can work from home. Working out of your house has many positives – zero time spent commuting, controlling your schedule, etc. And, no dress code.

However, I am pondering if the last sentence – the one about the lack of dress code – may actually not be that great. For example, I just returned home from a meeting and the first thing I did was change into a pair of fleece pants (black with pink polka dots, in case you’re wondering).

Am I so spoiled I can’t wear proper pants? Am I now sentenced to a life of baggy track pants and shapeless, fleecy sweat pants? If it doesn’t have a drawstring, will I find it too restrictive? Should someone have a pants intervention with me? Is the next step a MuMu or a tasteful housecoat?

I’ve never been overly conscientious about fashion but I own some nice clothes and even a few suits (one gray and the other chocolate brown). At times, I have even received compliments on my attire! Those clothes now sit idle in the closet, seldom getting a second glance much less seeing the light of day.

So, as I contemplate my new fashion predicament, I’ll just relax, sit back and think about trying on a pair of “real” pants for old time’s sake. But, you know I won’t…
