It seems that 2020 is going down as the year I gave up all pretense of getting out of bed in a timely manner, or for that matter getting dressed unless I absolutely had to—& you? What’s your ensemble?
If I must get out of bed, I sometimes slip a rather fetching pair of 32° black knit pants under my flannel nightgown, topped with a furry black hooded parka over the ensemble. It’s like being hugged inside a stuffed plush toy. Lord knows hugging isn’t an option these days. The long shirttails of my flannel nightie keep the ensemble casual without being slovenly. Sportbra optional, underwire bra. Nope.
Formal inside dress is the same get up, sans nightgown. But not always. I often swap my nightie for an old cashmere sweater to mix it up. Good for casual Zoom meetings. Choice of either UGG boots or plush grey kitty slippers.
Outside formal dress is similar to formal inside dress except I wear UGG boots, and corduroy pants in lieu of the yoga pants. Because, pockets. I give the hoodie a rest so I have something to look forward to later in the evening.
Dressing for cocktails and dinner al fresco is a snap, I shed just enough clothing to reinsert my flannel nightie, the furry black hoodie becomes a stunning bed jacket, or a bib. Great on cold nights. Or for late night snacks. I’m thinking of adding ears to my hoodie. To kick it up a notch, I might rotate out my plaid nighties—just for a change of scenery. Ditto that with my flannel sheets.
Like Donna Hilbert, I now try to wear zip-up pants twice a week. After not wearing them for weeks was a sobering moment. A wake-up call.
