Working from home (yep, I am one of those who did it before Covid and am still here on the couch!) is such an interesting fashion experiment. There are days when I do get dressed – go out, have meetings, have plans, or at the least do shoots- all the things and look amazing. There are days when I procrastinate, go to the gym, shower late and end up working late in PJs in bed (or the couch or in my “office”). Like many things in my life, it’s the in between days- where I don’t have big meetings, don’t “have” to get dressed, but am not super behind (ie, did get to the gym and get dressed and working like a normal person) that I find the most difficult to dress for- or on.
It’s always tempting to stay super casual when working from home (let’s be honest, no one wants to sit around in hard pants), and yet, I find I work better when I have a cute outfit on. So? What do you do? Dress up? Stay in sweats? Or- what I call the mullet of work from home- try a bit of business on top and a bit casual on bottom.
Yes, usually that means I am in some sort of sweats or leggings and then a cute top. Actually, my go to is a button down with some sort of lounge pant. But. Then there are the days when I do my best work from home outfits- like the one above. A blouse that is a bit business (though paired with the right skirt/pants/jeans this top could be fantastic as an evening top!) and shorts (though hard but comfy) and of course heels for a picture. Best of both worlds? Or just what it takes to get through the day? Perhaps all of the above. We know that I love a juxtaposition in any and all outfits, and maybe the combination of business and causal for days when we are working from home are the best.
Lucky you? This business on top and shorts are both “new” and I have linked both for you below. I would love to know what you wear when you work from home. Or how you balance business and casual. I am always open to any new outfits! XO RA
