It's so different for me working from home now. I try to wear something put together for school drop off, but occasionally it's running gear -- I simply pretend I'm on my way for a jog. And there is always the denim jumpsuit. Occasionally, I get freaked out by not being a 'part of society' if I haven't put myself together for public spaces. I see this in contrast to my husband as well. More often, though, I find it freeing to be able to code switch at will. I think it depends how I'm feeling about my writing on that particular day!
Yes, I know what you mean about being put together for public spaces. What motivates me most to put any thought into my outfit is if I know I'm going to be actively looked at - i.e. if I'm going to a meeting or seeing friends or teaching (or if I'm going to see my mother). Otherwise it's just what's comfortable, clean, and in my sight line. Sometimes I feel bad for my wife that she mostly sees me wearing a t-shirt and track pants again.
