Have Monday’s felt a bit more Monday-ish lately? Just me? How are you dealing with it?

I’ve tried taking Monday off, which works and doesn’t; there have been many Monday’s when I feel like I’m not getting anything done but taking the day off can feel like I’m setting my week up to fail.

(Side note: if you have control over your schedule, take Friday’s off. It’s the best! You can quote me!)

So, my solution? I’m easing into things. I’ve been taking Monday as an easing day. The tasks I assign myself are basic, like admin work, and I let myself take my time with everything.

Another way I ease into it? Outfits like this: silk camis (yes, this is technically pjs but it’s oh-so-pretty that I can’t help but wear it out!) and shorts.

*Note I originally feel in love with these MotherDenim shorts BUT found these chino shorts in the men’s department at Target and was able to create the look for less!! The shorts, which ever you like, are great- comfy, go with everything, and manage to be tailored and lived in at the same time.

This is the type of outfit that you can ease in. Drink your coffee (on the porch or on the couch). Do what tasks you need to get done. Run your errands. Then stop the day early. Relax. Get ready to face the week. All while staying comfy and looking chic.

How do you ease into it?

I’ve had this top for years (but found you similar ones!) and I can’t say enough things about the shorts (I will add though that I think they’ll also look great with sweaters in the fall!)

Easing into It (AKA Slippers with Everything)

What are you wearing to get you through the day? Are you staying in pjs? Rocking yoga pants? A mix of “fancy on top/casual on bottom”? Going all out? Or, like me, are you easing back into things?

I’ve been in a rut lately. While at the beginning of lockdown I found it easy to get dressed, the longer we’re inside, the easier it’s been to not worry about what I’m wearing.
Which taught me a lot.
Mainly that I miss my clothes. And that I still think in terms of what I can wear things to, and how to style different things!
And, I do love my yoga pants, but as things have been feeling kinda stale over here, I decided to challenge myself today. My goal: get dressed, feel comfy, but look good. No need to go overboard (you won’t see me in a gown), but let’s get back to getting dressed. Ease into it.

I discovered that in all my worry about what to wear lately that I’ve been overlooking a very important truth. Slippers. They’re comfy, essentially a part of pjs, but can be incredibly chic.

Paired with what might be the perfect white pants (wide legged, just enough structure, but oh so comfy) and a summer sweater (this is technically “menswear” aka I bought it in the men’s section for me, but it’s also the perfect summer sweater. Just sexy enough, but also just a great sweater!), slippers here make me feel like some sort of vintage hostess (while sipping champagne) and remind me that I don’t have to rush to wear everything. And that I can easily mix my pjs and my “real” clothes.

There’s a lot happening right now, even though we’re at home. Easing sounds good, doesn’t it? Let’s start with our slippers 😉

Happy Friday!
