If you’ve been around for a while, you’ve probably read/heard me say that I’ve never really been a t-shirt-and-jeans kind of girl but I’ve recently discovered that I definitely AM a t-shirt-and-shorts kind of gal! Especially with these linen paper-bag type shorts. This outfit was so easy to put together and so comfortable that I wore it out to run errands that included grocery shopping.

You can’t see it in the photo, but the sleeve of my shirt has a really cute embroidered floral detail that adds a little something extra to an otherwise plain t-shirt. I’ve included the photo from Old Navy’s website below to give you an idea of what it looks like.

You can barely make out the cute floral detail on the sleeves, but it really does look nice!

And I liked it so much that I bought another on in a copper color, which would also look great with these shorts. Maybe I’ll try that combo next!

Truth be told, I didn’t really feel like wearing cute clothes at the beginning of the year. It was cold, I had no where to go and no one to show off my cute clothes to, so most days I just threw on regular ol’ jeans and whatever shirt felt comfortable that day.

But then I started working part time for a really cool start up nonprofit in my town that works to reduce trash and single-use plastics in the community AND the weather started to warm up. One particularly sunny, warm day, I found myself in my closet excited about getting dressed. And these white denim jeans just scream “spring” to me!

I mostly work from home but I wore this outfit to my new office to focus on a few tasks that needed to be completed. It was just what the fashion doctor ordered because I’ve been more and more excited about putting together cute outfits so I’m hoping you’ll see me around a lot more!

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.

Joggers are probably THE BEST work-from-home wardrobe piece out there. They’re incredibly comfortable for sitting but can be dressed up for those Zoom video calls. Case in point: these comfy joggers that pair nicely with this pretty Loft blouse. In fact, I think this is my new favorite outfit. Everything about it just works!

Since I didn’t really leave my house the day I wore this outfit, I didn’t put on shoes. But if I had, I would have a lot of options to choose from depending on where I was going and what look I was trying to achieve. A pair of flats (black or a nice statement color) or loafers would be cute for a business casual feel while heels would elevate it into an outfit I could wear out for a drink or two (sigh, I sure miss those days!). If I wanted a more casual look, perhaps to run errands, I would grab my cute new white lace-up sneakers.

Also, I’m wearing my dissent collar earrings inspired by RBG–may her memory be for a blessing–that Nick purchased for me last month.

Hi, friends!

It’s been a hot minute but we’re finally all moved in. The boxes are unpacked and almost everything has a found a place in the new house. We’re well on our way to being completely settled. We’ve had a chance to meet our super nice neighbors, and we’re looking forward to when we can all safely gather and be more social. We’re excited to get to know them better and really become part of the community.

Welcome home!

We still have about two months before our actual family vacation, which is a beach trip scheduled for the end of August, but when I got dressed this morning for the start of our three-day weekend, I was definitely feeling those vacation vibes. Especially from this outfit!

I’m not a brave pattern mixer, but I’m really digging the kimono + espadrille look and these are the only ones I had so I put them together and rolled with it. I think it looks pretty good, especially once you add the hat (bottom photo). We don’t have a whole lot planned this 4th of July, since everything is closed or cancelled, so we’ll probably just grill some hamburgers and hot dogs and play in the awesome inflatable pool we picked up for Sebastian. We’ll also be finishing up our packing since the move to our new house happens early next week. I’ll probably live in this outfit all weekend and I’m really okay with that!

I hope you all have a safe and happy weekend!
