Who among us hasn't taken a mirror selfie? And in these pandemic times, there have been days when only the mirror (and my husband and kids) have gotten to witness my outfitting skills. You may recall last year some posts on "What I would have worn to a holiday party" here and here.
Well for my last post this year I wanted to highlight a few of the year's mirror selfies, most notably those I took in the office bathroom on the days I was at an actually place of business, not my third floor (drafty) den.

I posted this on Instagram in September, as an early return-to-the-office look. Wanted something not too-over-the-top, but elevated with a pop! And she was accessorized with RBG!

What can I say I love a printed pant, and these toile trousers are above and beyond printed. Rendered in black and white, they are quite versatile, I could have easily paired them with the camisole and blazer above. In general with being back in a physical office a few days a week I'm trying to keep looks simple, yet still interesting.
polish-Julep & Essie ring-Skelton Jewelry
I did get a little fancy with some layered nail treatment/polish.
vest-Vintage, shirt-Style Mint(similar here via Poshmark), pants-J.Crew loafers-Sole Society
This vest is from a suit my dad had in the 70's and as you can see it is reversible(!!!) I don't often wear it plaid side out, which is odd because I love plaid... for this look, it acts as the "third piece" to a blouse and trousers, again a bit of pop with a silver loafer.
Jacket-Piperlime(more options here via Poshmark), blouse-J.Crew(similar here & here), pants-Boden(similar here), flats-Allbirds
Mixed prints with a graphic floral bomber and a surreal floral shirt with wonderful teals and 🐝s. I didn't get a lot of good shots... I feel this was almost a really great look, but maybe it was too much. Maybe a black blazer would have served this look better, and/or a loafer instead of a flat, or even a heel...

Okay, she got a little kooky at home. Layered a turtleneck under this summer-fun jumpsuit, and finished the look with this windowpane coat and fur-ball hat for an autumnal evening out.
sweater-Nordstrom Rack, pants--Everybody & Everyone
I bought this pants specifically to wear to work. For most folks in an office setting, a good pair of black trousers comes in quite handy if not essential for your work wardrobe. Again, keeping the silhouette simple with this V-neck sweater and loafers. You may be wondering "where's the third piece"? And those would be my tits, because they looked BANGING in this sweater. I may have to get this in the hot pink, or would that be too much?
scarf-Vintage, blazer-J.Crew(similar here)
Another home pic. I had on jeans and button-down, made more of a look with a vintage scarf and navy blazer. Also posted this on Instagram, to let everyone know that while fall IS sweater weather(no one is disputing that), it's also scarf and blazer season.

So that's it for me for 2021. It was a very odd year, again, and posting was sporadic at best, to be honest so was outfitting. Hopefully we can shoot some looks over the break and come back with some fun posts in the new year. Follow me on Instagram for more #officebathroomselfies and pictures of my kids.
Happy Holidays and Take Care!
