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!

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: Floral

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.

Even though this is an outfit that I would totally wear to the office, it’s comfortable enough to wear at home, too! The jeans are stretchy, the blouse is very light, and the cardigan is perfect for a blasting air conditioner (both at the office and at home – yes, it gets cold here in the summer when Nick gets his way). Sometimes I like to feel dressed up at home. This was another day where I had several video meetings so I fixed up my hair and make up a little bit. Not a bad look for home!

I took this photo after returning from a walk with the dogs, that’s why I have shoes on. Otherwise, I prefer barefeet or slippers.

Three Years Old!

April 10, 2020 by Nikki No Comments

Last Friday, Sebastian turned three years old! He’s turned into such a character and I just love his little personality. He’s sweet, silly, and energetic. He loves to run, which makes playing soccer his favorite. He likes putting together puzzles and reading books. He  has also started embracing his sassy side, becoming more defiant than usual but that’s life with a threenager!

WFHW: Stripes

April 3, 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.

Confession: I wore this yesterday (and all of my posts thus far have been a day behind) but I was feeling *cute*! I actually washed and styled my hair for real. Usually I just use a lot of dry shampoo & texturizing spray and run a curling iron through it really quickly but yesterday I went all in. I even did a full face of make up. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, and it was a beautiful spring day so I figured why the hell not? Also, I had several video meetings and was tired of seeing a slobby version of myself on the camera. So, I wore a simple striped button-up from Old Navy that I tied at the bottom, which is an easy way to freshen up a button down. I rarely wear shoes when I’m at home but I’m realizing it’s about time to freshen up that at-home pedicure!

On a separate note, Happy birthday to my little dude, Sebastian! I can’t believe my sweet baby boy is now a threenager. He’s still a sweet little thing but he’s definitely got a lot of sass and attitude underneath all that sweetness. He’s becoming a handful, especially now that we’re all stuck at home all the time. We’re trying to find more fun things to do outside but he yearns to go to the playground and the museum and to do all the things he used to do.  His few little lawn toys just aren’t cutting it. Anyway, be on the look out for me to share my birth story and some updates from his birthday. Happy birthday to my little dude!
