So, these outfits are way more similar than different, but that’s okay. What I like about them is they show how you can slightly dress the skirt up with a nice ruffly cap sleeve blouse or you can dress it down slightly with a lemon tank top. Either way, they’re both fun and comfortable.

Blouse & Shirt: Loft Outlet | Sandals: Old Navy

I wore this outfit during a virtual board meeting for my part-time gig where I was taking meeting minutes. Even though they could only see my face and shoulders, I still felt cute AF and that’s all that matters!

Tank top: Target | Skirt: Loft Outlet | Sandals: Old Navy

I wore this outfit for a day of working a little for my part-time gig and then running errands after. There really isn’t anything much better for summer than a shirt with adorable little lemons on it matched with a yellow skirt. And now I want some lemonade.

I hope y ‘all are having a good summer and appreciate how much yellow is such a happy color!

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.

Please excuse the distractions on my shelf in this photo but I got some really good lighting by placing the mirror in this position! I’ve been slacking when it comes to getting dressed up for work, but I’m getting back on the ball with it. The desk in my home office sits right beneath the air vent and with the NC weather so warm the last few days, we’ve had the A/C turned on so I’ve been colder than usual during the day. Hence the cute sweater.

Blouse, sweater, and trousers: Banana Republic (all old) | Flats: Target (old)

This outfit is perfect for the office, home office, or any occasion where you need a simple business casual outfit. I love wearing all neutrals and then adding a little bit of interest with the leopard print flats. Those are just for show, though, because I’m not going anywhere and spend most of my time barefoot, which I also love. Oh, and I got a haircut. It was feeling way too long before, but this length and bob/lob style is my favorite. Overall, I’m feeling pretty good!

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.

I remember wearing cheap cotton culottes/gauchos in undergrad. They were comfortable, like pajamas, and easy to style so wearing them to class was a no-brainer. I like no-brainers! While culottes are nice, much like midi skirts, they’re very hard for a short girl like me to pull off. But I decided to give these a try because they came sized in petite, which means they should have a shorter inseam. I asked Nick if I should get them hemmed and he said, no. I thought they looked just a tad too long in the photos (and my mirror, apparently), but when I saw my reflection in another mirror, they looked pretty good.

Blouse: Loft (old) | Culottes: Loft (new) | Heels: H&M | Espadrilles: Old Navy

I think they look best with heels because the heels help to elongate my legs a bit, as you can see from the first two photos. But they also look pretty cute with my cute espadrilles or gold slides.

When I first pulled these pants out of the shipping bag and tried them on, I thought the legs were a bit too wide. But after reading about the design aesthetic of culottes and learning that they are supposed to have a full cut to resemble a skirt, I realize that do look really good. I’m definitely starting to get a little more bold in my style choices. There was a time not long ago that I would have put these on and thought I looked dumpy and sent them back. But I like them so I’m letting go of any self-conscious worries I might have and embracing what I like. And man does it feel good!

What do you think of culottes? Would you ever wear them?

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.
