WFHW: Casual Stripes

June 18, 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.

So, the purpose of this series is to show you what I’m actually wearing while I work from home, and y’all, this is it. Most days I try to wear something that I might wear to the office but there are plenty of days like this one where I just throw on some clothes I like. I would never wear denim shorts to the office–although I *have* worn shorts to the office before–but in my home office, anything goes!

I’m also looking forward to using this time to experiment a little more with my wardrobe. While we’re trying to save money for our upcoming move — and since I don’t have anywhere to go– I’m not really spending a lot of money on clothes right now and instead I’m trying to use what I already have in fun, new ways. I’ve been browsing Pinterest and Instagram a lot more than usual lately so I’m getting inspired. And I’m not saying this is new, but I haven’t worn it before and it looks great!

WFHW: Repeat Outfit

June 16, 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.

It’s a rainy week here in Durham so I’m pulling from some outfits that I wore last week when it was sunny and warm. This one is a repeat outfit that I’ve worn to my office before. When it’s a good one, there’s no reason not to wear it multiple times, and this one is a very good one!

Blouse: LOFT Outlet | Skirt: J. Crew Outlet | Shoes: Rothy’s

In real life, the skirt feels like it might be too short to be appropriate for a business setting but it looks fine in photos, so it might just be my imagination. I also prefer wearing this skirt (and this outfit) with heels or wedges, but there’s just no need for them when I’m at home. Good thing flats look really cute with it, as well.

WFHW: Cozy Cardigan

June 3, 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.

When I bought this cardigan, I thought it might be one that I leave at the office to wrap up in when I felt cold during the summer months. It’s really soft and cozy so I just couldn’t leave it at the office so it lives in my closet. It’s a pretty mossy green, so I wasn’t sure I would have much to pair it with but I’ve surprised myself, and it looks great with my new striped pleated-top tank.

You can’t see it but the stripes are actually yellow with small blue dots running along them, so they look almost green from a distance, which is why this cozy cardigan looks so good with it! You can see the tank better in my post from last week. I would definitely wear this to the office with a cute pair of flats or subtle nude heels.

WFHW: Black & Gold

June 1, 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 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: Yellow

May 29, 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.

I know I’ve been a little MIA this month but that’s because we’ve been really busy with house hunting! This is one of the outfits I wore not only while working from home, but also to go see a few potential houses we were interested in. Both of these pieces were from my recent online purchase to spruce up my spring (and summer) wardrobe. I wasn’t sure about the yellow skirt but I like it!

Yes, this entire outfit is from Loft Outlet!

I was still wearing this outfit during our evening walk and Sebastian found a pretty leaf that was the same colors in my outfit. Am I imitating nature or is nature imitating me?! Either way, I thought it was really cool.
