WFHW: Repeat Outfit

June 16, 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’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.

WFHW: Floral Pants Version 2

May 7, 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.

My last post was about these awesome floral pants I purchased to spruce up my spring and summer wardrobe. I mentioned that I’ve already worn three or four outfits in the short time I’ve had them, and here is version two. This is a slightly more dressed up look than my last outfit and it might actually be my new favorite! You could dress it up even more with a nice nude heeled sandal — which I will definitely be doing when everything opens up and I wear this outfit as I venture back out into the world.

Pants: Old Navy | Blouse: J. Crew Outlet | Jacket: Gap | Slides: Loft Outlet | Sunnies: Target

Here’s a closer look at my top. It’s the J. Crew Factory scallop cami that has been popular for a while now. I have it in two colors, this creamy white and a cobalt blue, and it’s a really nice way to dress up an outfit, even when you pair a denim jacket over it. I will also definitely be wearing this outfit to the office once it opens again.

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!

Top: J Crew Outlet | Cardigan: Old Navy | Jeans: Liverpool via Stitch Fix | Slides: Loft Outlet

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? 😀

Instagram Outfit Roundup: Lately

August 16, 2019 by Nikki No Comments

Nikki by example | www.nikkibyexample.com

Welcome back to another outfit round up. These are a sampling of the outfits I’ve worn in the last few weeks and am having trouble picking a favorite. I almost titled this post “Black, White and Gray” but I had to sneak in the olive skirt and I figured naming four colors was perhaps a bit too much for a title.

Outlet Shopping

August 10, 2015 by Nikki 4 Comments

Outlet Shopping | NCsquared Life

I’ve been doing a bit more outlet shopping than usual lately, and I’m kind of loving it. Visiting a Banana Republic Outlet in undergrad is what sparked my love for Banana Republic. It was around the time that I got my first part-time office job and needed appropriate clothing for it. So, I went to a BR Outlet and purchased an adorable pencil skirt, a great pair of trousers, some cute jeans and several blouses and hence a new love affair was born.

In an attempt to save money and closet space, I’m trying to only purchase pieces that I absolutely love and will wear all the time. I love both this shirt and pair of shorts. I’ve worn them several times already in several different outfits so I know I picked some winners. I also purchased a cute little skirt with this top so that I can wear it in an office setting once I find a job. I’m just hoping that’s sooner rather than later! I wore this outfit at home, while I was clearing out some clutter in the office and then to dinner at our favorite taco spot, Nanataco.
