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.

I told myself at the beginning of the pandemic lockdown that with our upcoming move that I should hold off on purchasing things so we could save some money and have less to pack and move BUT I kind of decided I wanted to purchase a few more things to round out my spring and summer wardrobe. So I bought this floral tank and some cute wide-leg cropped culottes from Loft and a pair of shoes from Old Navy to go with them. That outfit will make it’s debut a little later on the blog but I loved this flora tank so much that I wanted to wear it right away. So I did. Because apparently I just do whatever I want 😀

Tank: Loft | Cardigan, Pants, and Sandals: Old Navy

Once upon a time, I hated these thin-strapped tanks because I didn’t like wearing strapless bras and I hated when my bra strap was visible. I’ve definitely gotten over both of those things and will wear my tanks all the time. And I’m glad I did get over it because look at how cute this outfit is without the tank. Plus, it’s already too hot out there for sleeves!

Well, dear readers, this will likely be the last week you see all of my backgrounds that you’ve come to know from my account because it’s the last week in our house before the move. Soon, you’ll see a new background. I’m not even sure what it will be yet so we’ll discover it together.

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.

Sweater: Banana Republic (old) | Jeans: Loft | Sunnies: Target | Slide: Loft Outlet

Y’all, if you thought your office was cold then you’ve clearly never worked in the same room as my husband! I don’t know why or how but our home office is just as frigid as the ones I used to go to before the pandemic. When we first started working from home, Nick set up in the dining room and was taking up half of the dining room table (which made meal times a pain) and I was using the teeny little desk in our office.  At the beginning of the month when it became clear that our offices were remaining closed through the rest of the summer, we decided to share the home office. We got slightly bigger desks and set up in the same room. AND it’s really interesting because our A/C remains at its usual setting but for some reason, I get frozen over now that we share a space. I’m always wearing sweaters, socks, blankets, etc. to stay warm.

I’m no stranger to wearing sweaters in the summer, often because of those frigid office temps but I didn’t expect that in my own home! Anyway, I got this sweater from Banana Republic SO MANY years ago and it has proven to be a true closet staple because I continue to wear it year after year. There were a few times when I thought I might donate it but I held on to it, and for good reason. It goes with everything. Literally, everything.

Anyway, let me get back to work before my fingers freeze to the keyboard!

What do you think of these crisp summer whites?

Some outfits are instant classics that can–and should–be worn over and over again. That’s what I’m sharing with you all today: a classic outfit I wore about five years ago that looks just as good, if not better, with a few little updates. While color is fun, I’ve never been afraid of neutrals or beige; in fact, I’m drawn to their simple, classic appearance. That’s one of the reasons I like this outfit so much! Recreating this outfit was a no-brainer when I realized that I had all of the necessary pieces in my closet.

Old outfit originally worn on May 18, 2015:

Top & Cardigan: Target | Jeans & Flats: Old Navy | Hat & Necklace: Banana Republic | Sunnies: Target

I wore the original outfit to the farmers’ market and to run some errands. I no longer have these jeans or top because I traded them both in for an upgrade. What’s really funny is that I remember feeling like this shirt was “too boho” for me so I didn’t wear it very much. It was a really nice top but I think the crochet floral top in the photo below is way more of my style.

Today’s outfit: June 24, 2020

Top: C. luce via Stitch Fix | Cardigan: Target | Jeans: Just Black via Stitch Fix | Hat: Banana Republic | Shoes: H&M

My new distressed denim fits so much better (the ON pair were too big and long while these are petite sized) and the crocheted top, in my opinion, has a more grown up elegance to it. And swapping out the flats for heels gives this outfit a fresh, modern feel. I didn’t really have anywhere to wear this new updated version so I just wore it while I was working from home. It’ll definitely be on the menu once things open back up and we venture out to more places.

What do you think of this update?

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.

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.
