Do you dress your top or bottom part first when getting dressed in the morning? Tried getting dressed the other way round this morning and it felt really odd. Just a lighthearted question for fun instead of doom and gloom.

I think thongs are flip flops in Oz grin
Sir You don't say! shock So that's why they disturb my sleep in bed! grin

Bottom half winter and summer.Same procedure if I have stripped for a shower later on.

Not sure what you’re on about Rufus no performance from me my ablutions take about 15 minutes max
Don’t have anyone watching either, just me
Sounds as if you’re the one ‘performing’ Rufus poor carers do they get ‘damage to eyes’ pay-scale ?
Haha thongs in U.K. are ‘cheese cutter’ knickers

Husband is usually enjoying Radio4 without interruptions.!

Sleeping OoRoo - I leave for work before DH smile

What on earth are hubbies, or others, doing during these performances? hmm
Summertime here, so I leap out of bed starkers and continue to pad around the house; when nurses arrive I'll be wearing a smile; they are always saying they've seen it all before!; on shopping days I'll be in T-shirt, shorts and thongs, and jocks, of course! Don't care in what order!shock

Such a funny thread grin
For me it depends how many extra pounds Im carrying, how body confident Im feeling, whether Im alone or not and whether its time of the month lol

Guilty secret here, no time to have a shower first thing as the dogs are waiting to go out. Our garden is not attached to the house so have to walk them straight away. After I get back and have breakfast I do some jobs then have a shower. Dirty girl !!

BlueBelle Mon 02-Mar-20 08:13:55

sirchenjin you’re not alone on that one always wear them too
Well you ll be totally thrilled to know I took account of how I do it this morning now whether it happens the same every day I m not sure the scientific test hasn’t been going long enough
So lie in bed, contacts in, hop out of bed into shower, during shower wash hair, clean teeth, jump out of shower into bedroom, bra on, Knick’s on , jumper on, trousers on sock on, right foot first
Now I know you are all whooping with delight that I ve worked a procedure out ... you can calm down now

Urmstongran Mon 02-Mar-20 08:12:49

Bottom half first.
Left foot first.

SirChenjin Mon 02-Mar-20 08:07:29

My feet are always cold, so unless it’s a warm day I always wear socks. I even wear them in bed!

M0nica Mon 02-Mar-20 08:06:33

ninathenana you clearly do not suffer from cold. I have Reynauds Syndrome in my fingers, and my feet tend to be very cold.

Our house is old and the underlying floor substrate is concrete and despite wood flooring and rugs I wear tights, thermal socks and clog style shoes around the house.

DH used to go bare foot indoors, but nowadays, while he doesn't wear socks, he does wear slippers.

Hetty58 Mon 02-Mar-20 08:00:26

Unless there's a heatwave and it's sandal time I just don't feel right without socks. Maybe that's because I wear indoor shoes and boots rather than slippers.

ninathenana Mon 02-Mar-20 07:27:00

I'm surprised how many of you wear socks every day even when your not leaving the house. When I get home and take my shoes off the socks come off too.

absent Mon 02-Mar-20 01:45:43

It depends what I am going to wear and whether one or both cats are lying on top of some garment.

Coolgran65 Mon 02-Mar-20 00:56:45

Knickers, bra. Back into dressing gown while I do face and hair.
Then trousers, top, socks, slippers. Earrings.

If going out I'd add watch and rings. Change into shoes.

Allegretto Sun 01-Mar-20 23:45:34

Knickers
Jewellery
Bra (I’m a swizzler and bra works better after knickers-on and jewellery-on time to allow top half to be well dried)
Top
Jeans or whatever
Socks
Jewellery
Perfume
Makeup
Shoes

Grammaretto Sun 01-Mar-20 23:13:30

Hot shower, knickers first then bra. Then top, bottom, socks (rt foot first)
then more layers. Shoes, find specs, brush hair, clean teeth etc.

BlueBelle Sun 01-Mar-20 22:31:12

No always right sock for me but I m going to have to watch what I do in the morning as I don’t think I have a routine but probable now in the wintertime it’s top then bottom so
Contacts in before I get out of bed then shower, I think it ll be bra first, then jumper, knicks and jeggins, socks last but I m going to watch in the morning as I can’t be sure
No central heating so it’s all done quite quickly ?

Anniebach Sun 01-Mar-20 22:22:56

Knickers
Trousers
Top
Socks

Callistemon Sun 01-Mar-20 22:05:21

Yes, apparently most people put their left sock and shoe on first.

TwiceAsNice Sun 01-Mar-20 21:04:27

Always put left sock on first and shoes

TwiceAsNice Sun 01-Mar-20 21:03:24

Knickers then body butter all over, face moisturiser and deodorant then bra. Tights if I’m going to work then dress or top and skirt in that order.
Non working days underwear as before then socks then top and trousers . Earings and perfume last. Makeup if going to work, not if I’m staying at home although never go out without lipstick whatever the day

Callistemon Sun 01-Mar-20 21:01:28

Top undies, bottom half then top, then socks.
All over the place, really hmm not very efficient at all.
Sometimes I try to sort my hair out before I put on the top upper layer.

A question I asked the other day:
Do you put left sock/shoe on first or the right one?
