Working From Home

So the past month has been quite a challenge for everyone. And I am very blessed to still be gainfully employed and able to work from home. And like may folks who are continuing their jobs from home I've been in a number of Zoom, Teams, and Skype meetings. And by now everyone has their WFH business up top, casual on the bottom go-to looks.  Here are two of mine from earlier this month.


blouse--Le Tote, sweats--Forever 21 Men (similar here)

This is a familiar outfit for all of us nowadays. Simply patterned shirts and comfy black sweatpants for a few "check-in" zoom calls with my co-workers.   

For the "BIG" meetings with senior staff, or if I have to present official shit, I like to class it up a bit. 





blouse-J.Crew, leggings-Zara(similar here), necklace-Le Tote

I even tried to zhuzh my hair a bit more on this day. I like alternating between baggier pants and more fitted bottoms. It's been on the chillier side here recently so I've taken to straight-up wearing my jeans. They say you should try your jeans on once every few days to see if they still fit. 👖😜


Here's a close up on the necklace and this amazing bumble bee print. I was so excited in thinking about how I would style this  shirt, for spring.  Wearing it half-tucked with both my teal tweed, and bright pink cropped trousers, throwing on a blazer, or trench coat, rocking some loafer action, ah it was going to be so eclectic and vibrant!  But alas, it's only been worn with leggings, but it has at least gotten some exposure in Zoom calls.  

I have been quite sporadic with blogging, even before the lock-down, but I want to try to stick to at least a weekly posting schedule. Now is not the best time to find motivation and fashion inspiration, but I have been rocking some very cute hiking looks if I do say so myself.

Two Things

First: Isabel Marant's collocation for H&M debuts today in select stores AND online at noon, so you may want to get up on that.  Here are a few looks I'm lusting after. Hello mixed patterns!   Love the oversized coat and the detail on these jeans.   Patterned blazer, cropped colorful trousers, yes please!   Of course, I cannot partake in this collection with my Year Of No Shopping, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't. So get ready to go by noon because I'm sure this noise will sell out fast.   Number Two: I'm thinking about a new haircut.  Something along the lines of Tilda Swinton .     What do we think? I'm not going to go blond, but I like the shorter/buzzed sides and back with length on the top. Mr. Keller is hesitant, he thinks it's too masculine, but I'm kind of in the mood to go a bit edgy and I've had the same cut now for two-ish years...  FYI: Tilda Swinton is my spirit animal!    

Nasty Gal

Since the weather has been horrible I've been consoling myself with online shopping. And have made my first purchase with Nasty Gal : Lacy Chiffon Blouse Yuma Studded Blouse Alva Knit Dotted Stud Blouse Apparently I'm having a button-up shirt craving. I think all three of these shirts could work with the sweater, which is an alternative to your basic pull-over and may be a bit too edgy for work. But, I'm thinking a conservative wool trousers would nicely balance it out.  And in writing this I've come to the realization that my work "uniform" for the rest of the winter will focus on mixing edgy pieces, (or items with unexpected details) with conservative basics.  That might not always actually happen, but it's a good starting off point in planning a week's office wear.  Okay, enough of my pontificating, go check out the sale over at Nasty Gal there are some great deals to be had.

Mid-Summer Sales!!!!

It's time for one of my all time favorite summer activities! No, not bbq and fireworks, but the mid-summer/4th of July sales!!! There are bargains to be had everywhere you turn and I've already scored some deals here this past week!  From Zara 's Sale: Waistband Trousers Oversized Tee From J.Crew : Linen Shorts Side-Slit Tee And a few pieces I'm thinking of from ModCloth : ModCloth T-Shirt Dress Chambray Tunic True, these pieces are a bit "basic" but I'm thinking of the 80/20 Wardrobe Plan . 80% of your closet serves as foundation/workhorse pieces with 20% consisting of statement, more fanciful items. Like this "coatigan" from Nasty Gal Wool Coatigan Just think how this coat/cardi hybrid will pop against the t-shirt dress above, and/or the grey pants and either t-shirt, for a solid 80/20 outfit!  Regardless of how you approach your mid-season shopping the point is to get up on the
