WFHW: Office Wear

June 4, 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.

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!

WFHW: Black & Gold

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.

Happy Monday and first day of June!

There were several chilly/dreary days this past month, which feels uncommon for North Carolina in May where April showers are supposed to bring May flowers, but here we are. This is what I wore on one of those gray days: a light, maroon sweater with a flowy tank peaking out underneath, black jeans, and gold sandals.

Sometimes these slides remind me of something like house slippers, but here I’m loving the black and gold together! Now, let’s please move on to summer so I can put my sweaters away!

WFHW: Bell Sleeves

April 27, 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.

Happy Monday, folks. I hope your week is getting off to a great start!

If you’re anything like me, the days are starting to blend together so getting dressed takes a little more effort; those pajamas and leggings are just too darn comfortable. But if you’re like me, you’ve also been spending some of your time window shopping online! With spring in full bloom, I pulled my warm weather clothing out of storage and wanted to spruce it up a bit with a few new pieces so I took advantage of a LOFT outlet sale and purchased a few things. This top is one of them.

Top: Loft Outlet | Pants & Flats: Old Navy 

I’m loving the color and fit, and these tiered bell sleeves are just the right amount of cuteness. I’m also loving the mix of feminine and casual that came from pairing this top with these bottoms. As much as I’ve loved being at home, I kind of can’t wait to get back out into society. I would definitely wear this outfit to the office, maybe on a casual Friday.

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.

Instagram Outfit Roundup

December 20, 2019 by Nikki No Comments

Welcome back to another outfit round up! This is the first round up I’ve had of outfits I’ve worn since starting my new job. Our dress code is about the same as any other nonprofit/academic institution which is business casual and jeans are fine. I’ve been trying to dress it up and get back into my professional style & mindset. These are a sampling of the outfits I’ve worn in the last few weeks that are trying to be *slightly* more business and less casual.

Loving these outfits.

Obviously bathroom lighting isn’t ideal for outfit photos and the lighting in the restroom at my new office is the worst. It’s really hard to get the color of my clothes in these photos. My navy blue pants, gray skirts, and brown tights all look darker than they actually are but hopefully you get the gist.
