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.

Y’all, if you thought your office was cold then you’ve clearly never worked in the same room as my husband! I don’t know why or how but our home office is just as frigid as the ones I used to go to before the pandemic. When we first started working from home, Nick set up in the dining room and was taking up half of the dining room table (which made meal times a pain) and I was using the teeny little desk in our office.  At the beginning of the month when it became clear that our offices were remaining closed through the rest of the summer, we decided to share the home office. We got slightly bigger desks and set up in the same room. AND it’s really interesting because our A/C remains at its usual setting but for some reason, I get frozen over now that we share a space. I’m always wearing sweaters, socks, blankets, etc. to stay warm.

I’m no stranger to wearing sweaters in the summer, often because of those frigid office temps but I didn’t expect that in my own home! Anyway, I got this sweater from Banana Republic SO MANY years ago and it has proven to be a true closet staple because I continue to wear it year after year. There were a few times when I thought I might donate it but I held on to it, and for good reason. It goes with everything. Literally, everything.

Anyway, let me get back to work before my fingers freeze to the keyboard!

What do you think of these crisp summer whites?

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.

These overalls were a total impulse buy. I don’t do that often, but I’ve been watching a lot of Home Town on HGTV these past few months and sometimes Erin Napier wears overalls and I thought, dang, I need some overalls. So I bought these. Then I wondered if it was appropriate for a 35-year-old woman to wear overalls because it has been a LONG time since I’ve worn a pair. Spoiler: of course it is!

So, here I am trying them on when they first arrived (please ignore the lazy puppers on the messy bed):

Overalls: Old Navy | Sweater: Banana Republic (old)

And here’s how I actually styled them during the week last week with a cute floral blouse and blue slides:

Overalls: Old Navy | Blouse: Loft | Shoes: Old Navy

I usually think of overalls as a Fall staple but they’re also good for spring and summer. The rainy, cooler temperatures we had last week provided great encouragement to break these babies out and give ’em a wear. I already can’t wait to wear them again!

So, the purpose of this series is to show you what I’m actually wearing while I work from home, and y’all, this is it. Most days I try to wear something that I might wear to the office but there are plenty of days like this one where I just throw on some clothes I like. I would never wear denim shorts to the office–although I *have* worn shorts to the office before–but in my home office, anything goes!

I’m also looking forward to using this time to experiment a little more with my wardrobe. While we’re trying to save money for our upcoming move — and since I don’t have anywhere to go– I’m not really spending a lot of money on clothes right now and instead I’m trying to use what I already have in fun, new ways. I’ve been browsing Pinterest and Instagram a lot more than usual lately so I’m getting inspired. And I’m not saying this is new, but I haven’t worn it before and it looks great!

It’s a rainy week here in Durham so I’m pulling from some outfits that I wore last week when it was sunny and warm. This one is a repeat outfit that I’ve worn to my office before. When it’s a good one, there’s no reason not to wear it multiple times, and this one is a very good one!

Blouse: LOFT Outlet | Skirt: J. Crew Outlet | Shoes: Rothy’s

In real life, the skirt feels like it might be too short to be appropriate for a business setting but it looks fine in photos, so it might just be my imagination. I also prefer wearing this skirt (and this outfit) with heels or wedges, but there’s just no need for them when I’m at home. Good thing flats look really cute with it, as well.

Working from home definitely has its advantages, like not having to style my hair or make up or even get dressed if I don’t want to, but y’all, sometimes I REALLY miss getting dressed for work. Today was one of those days, so I just went for it! I purchased these pants on a whim because they were on sale for $20, so I bought two pairs. The Facebook ad said they could be dressed up or worn casually so I decided to try them. So far, I’m loving them! They’re perfect for the office, as you can see, and even though I haven’t put together a casual outfit with them yet, I can definitely see the potential.

It feels weird wearing heels around my house, but it’s also kind of cool. Tomorrow (or even later this evening) I’ll go back to bare feet but for now, I’m feeling like a working professional again!
