I doubt they wouldn't have time to change their outfits because they can change their outfits whenever they want. I think thye just chose not to wear the insignia of the Crystal Gems because they don't plan on representing the Crystal gems when they're apart because they never want to be apart. The Gem's constructs aren't illusions, they are projections. Their bodies are the physical representations of their gems.
