When: July 2, 2021 (yes I know that’s 2 months ago…I only promised “real life” not “real time”) // Weather: 70s // Real life: working from home
I realized that the last several blog posts have been outfits I wore “out” — on vacation, out to dinner, etc. I still post my outfits every day on the ‘gram, but it wasn’t my intent to save the “special” outfits for the blog. Because they’re all special (wouldn’t want my outfit babies to think I didn’t love them all equally).
So to rectify that, here’s a typical work-from-home outfit: stretchy pants, flowy top, no makeup, and shoes + sunglasses thrown on for an afternoon walk. The last year and a half has had a big impact on my personal style. For one thing, I never would have put a makeup-less photo of myself on the Internet. Voluntarily. I’d call that personal growth. Also, I no longer own any underwire bras because, seriously, whose idea was that. I’m also all-around more casual, but I’ve acquired more high-quality, elevated casual pieces (thanks mostly to secondhand designer shopping). It makes me feel like a fancy lady of leisure even while I’m billing hours.
Most importantly, I’ve learned that I truly enjoy getting dressed and looking/feeling cute just for myself. That said…no judgment if you’re embracing that sweatpants life.
