WFHW: Nothing Special

April 29, 2020 by Nikki No Comments

Here’s the next outfit in my Work From Home Wardrobe Series where I display the cute outfits I’m wearing while working from home during the coronavirus pandemic.

Look, there’s really nothing special about this outfit and probably the only thing that makes it “blog worthy” is the fact that I’m wearing it. But I thought I would include it because this is one of my favorite tops EVEN THOUGH I seriously can’t tell if the stripes are black or navy blue. I *think* they’re navy blue but I keep wearing it like it’s black (with black pants and black cardigans) and the thing is, I don’t think anyone else can tell… or cares. So today I decided to wear it with a color that would look nice with either blue or black: this pretty purple cardigan!

I also keep wearing these jeans. It’s supposed to be pretty warm (but windy) today so I should probably change into some shorts or a cute skirt, but these jeans are actually really comfy so I don’t mind. Anyone else wearing their jeans (or tops, etc.) on repeat? 😀

WFHW: Bell Sleeves

April 27, 2020 by Nikki No Comments

Here’s the next outfit in my Work From Home Wardrobe Series where I display the cute outfits I’m wearing while working from home during the coronavirus pandemic.

Happy Monday, folks. I hope your week is getting off to a great start!

If you’re anything like me, the days are starting to blend together so getting dressed takes a little more effort; those pajamas and leggings are just too darn comfortable. But if you’re like me, you’ve also been spending some of your time window shopping online! With spring in full bloom, I pulled my warm weather clothing out of storage and wanted to spruce it up a bit with a few new pieces so I took advantage of a LOFT outlet sale and purchased a few things. This top is one of them.

Top: Loft Outlet | Pants & Flats: Old Navy 

I’m loving the color and fit, and these tiered bell sleeves are just the right amount of cuteness. I’m also loving the mix of feminine and casual that came from pairing this top with these bottoms. As much as I’ve loved being at home, I kind of can’t wait to get back out into society. I would definitely wear this outfit to the office, maybe on a casual Friday.

WFHW: Gray Chinos

April 17, 2020 by Nikki No Comments

Here’s the next outfit in my Work From Home Wardrobe Series where I display the cute outfits I’m wearing while working from home during the coronavirus pandemic.

It was slightly chilly out when I wore this outfit, hence the light sweater. It’s another outfit I would probably wear to the office with some cute little flats or sandals, and it was great for being at home. My projects these last few weeks have involved writing two newsletters for my program, working on a progress report, and working on a literature review. Lots of sitting, writing, and reading!

Sweater: Charter School Sweater by ModCloth | Chinos: J. Crew

I know this is supposed to be an outfit post, but let’s take a moment to chat about that straight hair! I didn’t have a whole lot going on this day–no video calls or chats for work–so I didn’t bother curling it. My hair is actually pretty cute straight as well as curled but I often choose to curl it because Nick once said I look more “reserved and serious” with straight hair. I used to straighten it all the time. I’m thinking I might have to start doing it more often.

WFHW: Leggings

April 2, 2020 by Nikki No Comments

Welcome to the next outfit in my Work From Home Wardrobe Series where I display the cute outfits I’m wearing while working from home during the coronavirus pandemic.

Today’s outfit is more comfort than style and is brought to you by the need for more coffee! I didn’t sleep well last night, and this morning Nick tried to be very sweet by setting the delay brew on the coffee pot last night so it would be ready for us first thing but forgot that the timer wasn’t set so it actually brewed my coffee at midnight instead of 6 am! By the time we got up, the coffee was cold and old. I tried reheating it in the microwave but I LOATHE reheated coffee (because it always tastes burnt to me) so I just couldn’t do it. I had to make a fresh pot.

New Series: Work from Home Wardrobe!

April 1, 2020 by Nikki No Comments

Hi, everybody!

As I mentioned in my last post, I’m starting this new series called Work from Home Wardrobe (WFHW) to display the outfits I’m wearing while I try to get some work done at my house during the coronavirus pandemic stay-at-home orders while trying to take care of a three year old. My intention is for this to be a fun, but it’s also because I’ve discovered that I am *much* more productive if I get up and go through the usual motions each morning: style my hair, put on a little bit of make up, and get dressed. So, let’s kick this series off, shall we?!
