Outfits Not Just Clothes

 Spring can be such a invigorating time for many reasons. The weather is warming, the days are longer, flowers are blooming, eggs are hatching, winter styles are going on sale!!!!  I haven't hit the clearance rack as hard as I have in springs past, but I did pick up a few items which have been making appearances in my #officebathroomselfies posts on Instagram .  Bold Colors Right Out of the Gate! sweater- Nordstrom , skirt-J.Crew(similar here ), tights-- Target , loafers-G.H.

 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.  blazer-Zara(more options here ), cami- LilySilk pants-Gap(similar here ) loafer-Anne Klein(similar here ) 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!

Some more Work From Home selfies for your consideration. shirt- Le Tote , joggers-Uniqlo(similar here ), shoulders- Total Body Training Level 2 Pictured in front of both the upstairs hallway mirror and the downstairs foyer mirror for different angles.  With the warm spell we recently had, I wanted to give my arms a chance to breathe, and this polka dot blouse from Le Tote did the trick nicely. It's also a graphic top, perfect for Zoom and Teams meetings.  Polka dots are a fun pattern that's not overwhelming onscreen.  The tie-front gives a nod to the traditional necktie for a simple shoulder-showing-off work from home outfit. I was very proud of my push-game during my gym class this winter. But now with gyms closed and fitness classes cancelled the days for sharpy shoulders are limited. Don't hate me, but I really miss group workouts, doing burpees in my living room is just not the same.
