It's been a progression and I blame Walmart.
When I was growing up we dressed up to travel. Mom and one, two, and then three of us kids in our Sunday best to sit in planes and airports for a trip halfway across the country.
Worse were the drives from Iowa to North Carolina. It's 24 hours of straight driving and we seldom stayed in a hotel or stopped anywhere to sleep. The last trip I made with the family I was 16 and was taken out a bought an outfit of slacks, blouse, and blazer to sit in for whole trip with my two siblings who were likely as not to throw up at least once along the way. It's important to be properly attired when you are on the side of the Interstate while your parents wash barf off a kid with water that was formerly ice in the cooler.
Working from home has me used to not dressing up in my work costume anymore. But if I leave the house I do try to remember to put on something other than jammies and maybe even rake a brush through my hair.
