My WFH Look

We’ve all heard the “showing up to Zoom meetings with no pants” jokes or the comments on how sweats are your go-to quarantine look. It’s been five months of Zoom meetings with no end in sight. Who ready for remote learning! Cue my “I’m not looking forward to my kid starting kindergarten via a computer” face.

With virtual work, church, school, coffee dates, book clubs, Monday night game group, …does anyone else feel like we’re making up a bunch of random kinds of group just so we can have more meetings…Zoom isn’t going away and five months into quarantine I really don’t want to loose my sense of style. No judgement to you peeps in the sweatpants. If you’re like me, my mood correlates with what I’m wearing. So if I’m wearing sweatpants, you bet you’ll find me on my sofa binging the latest trending show. Just kidding, I don’t binge the trends because I don’t trust people who are watching Netflix’s top shows right now, like #7, Selling Sunset…partway through the trailer, I’m like “wait, I thought this was a show about selling real estate in California?!” My husband walked away exclaiming, “Wow, this is so white!” And the lines that make it out like these women are feminist. “You have to take your career seriously!” Puh-lease! Two men literally corralled pretty white women together just so they can fight!

I digress.

Speaking of trends.

My point is, find an in between with your style. I’m home all day so I want to be comfy and it’s tough to find the point in getting dressed when no one is going to see you. Speaking of feminist, why do we dress for other people? And that’s why I styled up my athletic wear. Got the comfy going on with the leggings, but made it me by throwing a blazer on it.

But honest back story behind this look…it was a complete accident. I’ve been determined to get my workout in during Covid because it keeps me sane and with being home all day, I’m sitting around more and it’s killing my thirty year old back. Anyway, I’ve managed to get my daily exercise in, but I haven’t managed how to manage my time. So I ended a work out just as a work meeting was about to start so I threw on this blazer just because it was there. I got a compliment from a coworker and then checked myself out afterwards and my coworker was right! This outfit did look goooood! And I made it even better by swapping out the post-yoga flip-flops for those blue ribbed socks and the ginger suede Vans. So with that, I leave you with the encouragement to find your new WFH look. Be comfy, but also make it you! Don’t let Covid steal away what little of you you have left! Seriously, this has sucked…but let’s not get into that. Best of luck to you all as we enter a new season in this already weird season. Do what makes you happy and if it’s simply wearing your favorite blazer every work day even if it is over your comfiest sweats, just do it. We need to take every little bit of joy we can find!
