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.

WFHW: Stripes

April 3, 2020 by Nikki No Comments

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.

Confession: I wore this yesterday (and all of my posts thus far have been a day behind) but I was feeling *cute*! I actually washed and styled my hair for real. Usually I just use a lot of dry shampoo & texturizing spray and run a curling iron through it really quickly but yesterday I went all in. I even did a full face of make up. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, and it was a beautiful spring day so I figured why the hell not? Also, I had several video meetings and was tired of seeing a slobby version of myself on the camera. So, I wore a simple striped button-up from Old Navy that I tied at the bottom, which is an easy way to freshen up a button down. I rarely wear shoes when I’m at home but I’m realizing it’s about time to freshen up that at-home pedicure!

On a separate note, Happy birthday to my little dude, Sebastian! I can’t believe my sweet baby boy is now a threenager. He’s still a sweet little thing but he’s definitely got a lot of sass and attitude underneath all that sweetness. He’s becoming a handful, especially now that we’re all stuck at home all the time. We’re trying to find more fun things to do outside but he yearns to go to the playground and the museum and to do all the things he used to do.  His few little lawn toys just aren’t cutting it. Anyway, be on the look out for me to share my birth story and some updates from his birthday. Happy birthday to my little dude!

Ready for Fall

August 23, 2019 by Nikki No Comments

Top: A New Day via Target | Vest: my BAJEE collection via Conversation Pieces | Jeans: Liverpool via Stitch Fix | Slides: LOFT Outlet | Necklace & Bracelets: Old Navy | Watch: Timex 

Fall is officially one month away and I cannot wait. I’m preparing by pulling out all of my fall scented candles/melt cups (we have a Yankee Candle Scenterpiece Wax Warmer that we use most of the time) and brushing off this army/utility vest. It’s still 90+ degrees outside here in central North Carolina, but a girl can dream! Every time a breeze blows and a leaf falls, I can sense that autumn is just around the corner. And I am so ready for it.

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.

July 11, 2019 by Nikki No Comments

Nikki by example | www.nikkibyexample.com

Well, hello there! I know I said I was done but I received enough encouragement from friends and readers and the like to keep it going. I guess I’m no quitter 😉 (j/k, I legit quit things all the time – a bad habit I’m working on). Anyway, I’m back with my bathroom mirror selfies/Instagram Outfit Roundup. This time I’ve decided to go with a theme: dresses!

These are some of the dresses I regularly wear to the office and out and about. I haven’t featured these on the blog yet so I figured this was as good a time as any to do so. Enjoy!
