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.

Poncho Sweater

I loved this outfit from a week or so ago, and I’m very sad I haven’t gotten a better photo of it yet. This poncho sweater is a trend I’ve been wanting to try for a while now but oversized sweaters can be tricky for short folks to pull off. The sweater can look way too big or make you look smaller if the proportions aren’t right. This one is a Petite and fits perfectly on my 5′ 1″ frame. And it makes me look like a sophisticated adult instead of a little kid playing dress up. I’m so excited that I found it. In the photo above, I gave it the half tuck; in the photo below, I left it out. Which look do you like better?

Instagram Outfit Roundup

September 21, 2018 by Nikki No Comments

Finally, an outfit post!

I’ve written about how my lifestyle has outgrown a lot of my clothes, so I’m working hard to clear my closet of any item that doesn’t make me feel like a million bucks every time I wear it. I’m also trying to live a more minimal life to focus more on experiences than material things. It’s harder than it should be due to the emotional value I place on things. I’m working on that, as well. I don’t think I’m quite ready for a capsule (or minimalist) wardrobe yet, but I might be moving more toward that direction.
