They are one and the same to some. The list of checks as to what I might wear are extensive. I'm in the habit of putting clothes on, finding I don't like it, and taking them off according to my little checklist. Having to settle for 'second best' is never fun.

My thoughts exactly.

I go for lots of flowy slip on skirts and dresses much easier to maneuver in than jeans and shorts. I like big earrings and bracelets for statement jewelry. I'm a very ribbons in my hair sort of girl.

I'm generally a comfort girl; jeans, a tee-shirt w/ sweatshirt or slick running pull over and tennis shoes are my go-to.
I put a modicum of care into what I wear to work, but mostly on days I know there are meetings in the office or I'm going out to a site, otherwise I can get away with jeans and a nicer shirt or sweater. Collegiate sweaters are always a go for me, since the only ones I own are for the Ducks and my boss is a Ducks fan  For nice office attire you can't beat a dress for ease - no thinking necessary! For site visits I generally have to wear slacks in case I'm climbing ladders, plus comfy walking-around shoes don't generally look that great with skirts or dresses, so on those days I put more effort into my cloths, but even then it mostly amounts to "what color shirt do I want to wear under my black sweater? Does it really matter? I'm not even going to take off my coat..."
With all that said, though, if I don't have to change out of PJs I don't.

Oh gods, you're a girl? I've believe this whole time that you were a goat. Please forgive me.

Depends on the time of year. In the winter I tend not to put in as much effort as the warmer months. Jeans and tshirts. A cute sweater maybe. My Docs or Chucks. Usually a hoodie is necessary at night.
In the summer, I love flowy sundresses and sandals, and, of course, bikinis, of which I own almost as many as are in my hat collection.

For some reason, this post made me crack up extremely hard.

When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Hmm. Depends on the occasion. Usually, I care enough to not look as if I left home having just woken up, but I won't be wearing anything uncomfortable. I wear heels most of the time, so that prevents me from looking too sloppy even though my clothes are really simple because I don't spend money on fancy clothes, I buy ones that go with everything, XD. I dress casually for work. For interviews, definitely will dress smartly, no jeans, a proper pencil skirt, blazer, things like that. For other events and parties, I will dress up if the occasion calls for it, I'm rarely underdressed or overdressed with those things. I'm really, really casual in the summer, usually tshirt and shorts and wedge sandals.
I guess I care enough to look neat, tidy and passable with my clothes, I find it's a little rude if you dress sloppily.
