I actually do get dressed every day. I never know when someone will come to the door, or if I need to leave. And, sometimes, I end up with video conferencing. So, just because I work from home doesn't meant that others won't see me.

I got into a nasty little rut and was always wearing my gym gear. Given that I go to the gym every day, it was convenient for me. However, I realized it was bad when I came downstairs for a meeting in proper clothing, makeup and hair and my son exclaimed "wow! mom you look pretty when you're dressed!" I go to meetings a fair amount, but I make a point of making sure that I have "real" clothes on and not just sweats. I find that I feel more professional, too. Flyladies.com (great resource for cleaning tips) always says "start your days dressed right down to your shoes." And, you know what, when you're wearing your big girl shoes, you do have a different perspective.

I agree with Laurie- getting dressed is good for me.  Fly lady is the best with this and I like to be ready to go to the store or the bus stop and not be embarrased because my hair is messy.

When I first started my business 4 years ago, I did get myself together every morning, which helped me transition from the corporate world into working from home.  Now I am the ponytail and comfy clothes type.
