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.

Hi, dear readers!

I hope you all are doing well in these uncertain and trying times of dealing with the Covid-19 (coronavirus) pandemic.

Both Nick and I have been working from home for the past two weeks and we’ve pulled Sebastian from daycare. As a public health professional, practicing social distancing to flatten the curve is very important to me so we’re doing all we can to be a part of the solution instead of the problem. We’re only going out to grab groceries and even then, Nick goes by himself. I make him take disinfecting wipes with him to use when he touches anything and then when he gets home he washes his hands very well.

I’ve been trying really hard for some time to clean out my closet. At the beginning of the year, I went through a minimalist phase — which I would still like to continue to do but have admittedly fallen off the wagon — and got rid of so. much. stuff. It felt good and I couldn’t wait to get rid of more. But then life happens, as usual, and I haven’t kept up with it as well as I would have liked. Each day I take a long, hard look at my closet and try to grab at least one thing that I know I can part with. It’s hard because I like my clothes, otherwise I wouldn’t have bought them, but some of them just don’t excite me anymore.

This is as boho as I get. This skirt is about 4 years old and a tad too big.

Then I read this blog post by the amazing Alissa of The Adored Life about how she got rid of half the stuff in her closet. She describes how the woman her closet reflected wasn’t the woman she sees in herself because her clothes were from a different point in her life. This resonated with me SO. HARD.
