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.

Please excuse the distractions on my shelf in this photo but I got some really good lighting by placing the mirror in this position! I’ve been slacking when it comes to getting dressed up for work, but I’m getting back on the ball with it. The desk in my home office sits right beneath the air vent and with the NC weather so warm the last few days, we’ve had the A/C turned on so I’ve been colder than usual during the day. Hence the cute sweater.

Blouse, sweater, and trousers: Banana Republic (all old) | Flats: Target (old)

This outfit is perfect for the office, home office, or any occasion where you need a simple business casual outfit. I love wearing all neutrals and then adding a little bit of interest with the leopard print flats. Those are just for show, though, because I’m not going anywhere and spend most of my time barefoot, which I also love. Oh, and I got a haircut. It was feeling way too long before, but this length and bob/lob style is my favorite. Overall, I’m feeling pretty good!

When I do office casual, I follow a simple formula: nice blouse, blazer, jeans, and flats (sometimes heels). I wore this to work on Friday becuase I wanted to be office casual and, even though I can dress down and usually do as I mentioned in my last post about working for a nonprofit, I had to participate in interviewing a candidate for a position in my unit so I didn’t want to dress down too much. I figure the blazer gave me just the right air of professionalism, especially for a nonprofit on a Friday!

This top is from Le Tote. I’ve been using it for a while now and really like it because I get cute tops like this one. At first I struggled with wanting to keep every single piece because I think I was stuck in a Stitch Fix mentality where I had to buy it if I was going to wear it. I don’t feel the pressure to buy like I did in the beginning. I’ll only purchase now if 1) it’s a closet staple and I’ll wear it over and over again or 2) I fall in love. That’s only happened a few times, and this piece was one of them!

How awesome are these cobalt heels from Old Navy? I wasn’t sure I would wear them very often because they’re BRIGHT BLUE but I actually wear them with everything! I love them.

I went to lunch with my friend, RT, and asked her to take some photos of this outfit with my phone since I was nowhere near home and didn’t have my nice camera with me. They turned out pretty well, considering. Please forgive the coloring, but the lighting was not the best. I’ve been feeling a little guilty about my lack of posting lately and this outfit was really cute, so I didn’t want to miss the chance to post it. It was inspired by Annie from Stylish Petite. The last few days have been unseasonably warm for the middle of February and I was going to wear this outfit without the sweater like in the first and last photos of Annie’s post, but there was a breeze so I needed the extra layer.

Here’s the fun one: Goofing off, it’s my favorite thing to do with my friend!

Sweater & Pants: Old Navy | Chambray: Banana Republic | Shoes: Christian Siriano for Payless | Jewelry: Old Navy | Handbag: Franco Sarto via Ross

When I saw this pin, I jumped to recreate it because I had everything in the photo: the vest, polka dot top, black skinnies, and leopard flats. The only thing missing is the statement necklace, but I’ll work on that. I really like how this outfit turned out in real life; the subtle pattern mixing is great and I’ve really been digging black and white lately. The weather in NC has been very mild thus far, so I wore this outfit to run errands, go to the grocery store, and again to work and school. I have a feeling it’s going to get a lot of wear as long as the weather continues to cooperate.

And here’s the blooper: That hair, that face, that wind?

I told you last week about my newest obsession with cropped sweaters and here’s proof: another cropped sweater. I wore it with my “fancy pajama pants” to work and to class because I just wanted to feel cozy and comfortable; I succeeded. I’m not really sure what else to say about it, so just enjoy some photos.

Isn’t this a cool pattern?

Here’s the fun Blooper: I have no idea what I was doing, but clearly I wasn’t ready for the photo!

Sweater: Banana Republic
