Great thread! Dad would never allow his daughters to wear trousers or jeans ………. I remember him refusing to drive from the house until I put on a dress, Mum had bought me 'cords' and we thought he wouldn't think of them as jeans. I knew I had to get changed or we would still be sitting there! (and he's been dead since 2006

Once married I wore 'work clothes' i.e. skirts, tights (hate them) etc.; occasionally if I was office bound I would wear neat trousers, never jeans. In the evenings it would depend on where we were going. Eventually I wore jeans more often and now it's every day.
I can get myself up in the morning and crawl into the same clothes I wore yesterday: jeans, double layer of thermal tops, a neat jumper on top. Thick socks, slippers ……… I have 2 pairs of linen trousers to wear when I need to posh up

. I do try to put my jewellery with the clothes that they suit, I have small bags to hang onto the appropriate hangers: however, once I've undressed it's unlikely that the jewellery gets re-hung

For Dad's funeral I wore a skirt, pull up tights - which started to fall down as I was walking out of Church

- long boots and a jacket. Never again. It's trousers every time. Haven't worn make-up for over 20 years. Can't be bothered to take it off then my eyes get itchy.
Perish the thought of mascara or lippy these days.
