As others I have been wondering how you and your family was doing.&nbsp;<br />This is indeed a cute outfit , perfect for working from home. Y'all have been making me look at my outdoor shoes wondering which one I will clean and re-purpose for home wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-even-have-shoes-on#post-2111544 Fri, 03 Apr 2020 20:16:33 +0000 Sal 2111544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for updating us, I have been thinking of you in New York and feeling sad for the city, people and especially those directly affected.&nbsp; I am pleased you guys are doing all right.</p> <p>And you look fab too!!</p> <p>90% of people here are being kind and helpful and reaching out more than ever.&nbsp; 1% are probably not obeying the rules.&nbsp; And about 9% are being intolerant and unreasonable and judging.&nbsp; There are things we are right to be angry about but respectfully buying a bottle of wine is not one of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-even-have-shoes-on#post-2111522 Fri, 03 Apr 2020 18:20:42 +0000 Christina F. 2111522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div><b>nemosmom</b> - ugh, that's terrible. People need to be kind right now. I'm sorry your DH was laid off. Things are tough for so many people right now, it beaks my heart.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>rachylou</b>, Nextdoor is the last place i want to be right now! Upper Westsiders are known to be pretty whiny about their neighborhood...</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Kate, Angie and Suz&nbsp; </b>- thank you! I realized today I was remiss in not posting something. I've been lurking but feeling less chatty&nbsp; plus my workload took off during the past week. My team is supporting the President of our org as he calls our big donors to see how they are (not to ask for money, just check in). The response to this outreach has been overwhelmingly positive, so we all have a lot to do to prep him with research for each call.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>It's sad out here for sure. Manhattan isn't as bad as some other areas, but my heart breaks for the city. It will take years to recover, if we ever fully do. Life won't be the same, either. My own situation is among the most fortunate, but it's hard to see the city we love in essentially wartime conditions.</div><div><br /></div>On a lighter note, I loooove these jeans. Most of my other pairs aren't comfy enough for at home work, either, but these are cute AND comfy.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-even-have-shoes-on#post-2111516 Fri, 03 Apr 2020 17:58:59 +0000 Kate 2111516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great WFH outfit, Christina. I especially love those jeans on you—super cute! I'm glad to hear you and hubs are doing well. I was worried about you guys in Manhattan.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-even-have-shoes-on#post-2111514 Fri, 03 Apr 2020 17:55:37 +0000 Suz 2111514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look terrific, <b>Christina</b>.

WA was the epicentre first, so I get it. We flattened our curve this week, and you will too.&nbsp;</p> <p>SUCH GOOD NEWS THAT YOU AND HUBS ARE OKAY. I was worried. Please keep on letting us know. Much love. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-even-have-shoes-on#post-2111504 Fri, 03 Apr 2020 17:41:34 +0000 rachylou 2111504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So cute!</p> <p>People, go on Nextdoor if you want a good laugh at the social shaming (whinging).

DH went out for bread yesterday and wore a non-medical mask and gloves to shop. A lady in the grocery store had the audacity to raise an eyebrow at him and say, "Really?!" She is lucky he shopped instead of me; there would have been words! Cases are increasing rapidly here - 10 deaths just in our county since yesterday.&nbsp; DH was laid-off yesterday, despite being in an essential business, so things here are super scary.<br /> </div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-even-have-shoes-on#post-2111433 Fri, 03 Apr 2020 14:45:51 +0000 Christina F. 2111433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>TG</b>, no worries, I think it's impossible not to talk about this stuff now.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-even-have-shoes-on#post-2111432 Fri, 03 Apr 2020 14:45:23 +0000 Christina F. 2111432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>runcarla</b> - no, I wouldn't say so! I am in a happy and settled period of my life, which has helped decrease my natural anxiety. I definitely have spiraled a few times, though, trying to imagine the future. I am trying take it day by day instead and focusing on how lucky I am (we are healthy, have secure incomes etc). I am not too optimistic about how this whole pandemic will shake out for other people, or for this country, but that's a whole other topic....</p> <p><div><b>Janet, </b>that's awful. People need to chill out and be kind to each other right now. As long as you are following your area's current guidelines, you should be free to do what you wish within those parameters.</div><div><br /></div><div>When I was at the wine store, the "bouncer" actually thanked me for not yelling at home when he let an employee in ahead of me. Apparently, that had happened to him.... I mean, yeah, I consider wine essential, but the people in line are benefiting from a service this guy is basically risking his life to give. Don't yell at him! (I will say the store provided gloves and was very good about social distancing.) <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Fortunately, the confirmed cases rate for this zip code is low relative to NYC overall. It might be because some of the wealthier people here have fled (this zip code is a mix; we have everything from millionaires to people living in housing projects). My neighbor, for one, is in VT.<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-even-have-shoes-on#post-2111430 Fri, 03 Apr 2020 14:41:09 +0000 Helena 2111430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, isn't it interesting too that what HE wanted to do was alright ... there's a lot of that going around right now too! Sorry to sidebar on your thread Christina, but I just hate bullies so much! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-even-have-shoes-on#post-2111427 Fri, 03 Apr 2020 14:19:39 +0000 Janet 2111427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That’s a great WFH outfit! </p> <p>Sorry about the wine line shaming. I got shamed on a FB group for a local trail network the other day for simply expressing that I want to be able to drive to the trailheads (2-3 miles away from my house on two-lane highways) to get in my long trail runs/walks. One mountain biking guy was pissed at me for wanting to drive *anywhere* right now and insisted that people who aren’t biking to the trails shouldn’t be using them. People are awfully quick to shame others right now, sadly. We ironed it out in the discussion after I pointed out repeatedly that I do follow the rules and we are all on the same side, but it’s a prickly time and this pandemic seems to either bring out the best or the worst in people. Don’t let them get you down! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-even-have-shoes-on#post-2111423 Fri, 03 Apr 2020 14:09:08 +0000 Carla 2111423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those jeans look great on you. &nbsp;You sound in good spirits. &nbsp;You must be a natural optimist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-even-have-shoes-on#post-2111420 Fri, 03 Apr 2020 14:00:08 +0000 Christina F. 2111420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div><b>torontogirl</b> - thank you! And I'm Portuguese and an Upper Westsider. My few glasses of wine a week are essential, thank you very much! If the state hasn't seen fit to stop liquor sales, there is no need to yell at people about it. Go yell at the people gathering in groups in parks in Brooklyn....<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Windchime</b>, thank you, too! And yes, we were relieved. He had had the couch for a while (it lasts for weeks usually) but didn't have other symptoms after the first couple of days, when he was a little tired. he'd gone to the doctor for another purpose, to get other meds renewed, and they offered the test. Mainly, we were glad he hadn't been unwittingly spreading it for a few days before social distancing. On the other hand, if he'd gotten it and I hadn't, I'd have been relieved because I have asthma. But the less selfish part of me is glad he wasn't a vector. <br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-even-have-shoes-on#post-2111419 Fri, 03 Apr 2020 13:52:22 +0000 Helena 2111419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks great Christina - polished and casually-professional.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think there is a decent argument to be made that wine is an essential xx&nbsp;</p> <p>On a serious note though, the pandemic shaming has the potential to become problematic in and of itself ... we've had some ridiculous accusations made against people on community boards and things, made on little to no information (i.e. assuming people 'can't be' family based on appearance, with no other context - I'm not talking about people hosting parties in their backyards, who probably could do with a bit more shame!) ... it's worrisome and I'm sorry you had to deal with it when you obviously were trying to act responsibly :(</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-even-have-shoes-on#post-2111416 Fri, 03 Apr 2020 13:46:07 +0000 Windchime 2111416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute WFH outfit! &nbsp;The jeans look great on you. &nbsp;It makes a real difference to actually dress for working from home, doesn’t it? &nbsp;For me, it helps with energy levels and feeling I’m in my professional role, even if no one from work sees me. &nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>You and DH must be very relieved about his negative test results!</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-even-have-shoes-on#post-2111406 Fri, 03 Apr 2020 13:30:52 +0000 Christina F. 2111406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>I have come around on wearing clothes when I WFH. It helps adds structure to my day; I change into more comfy lounge clothes in the evening. I won't wear anything tight, and I prefer short sleeves to none or long (it runs warm in here, but I am on vcons often enough that I want to look somewhat polished). I wasn't bothering much with makeup before so I am not doing it now, but I am trying to keep up with my skin routine.<br /> </div><div><br /> </div><div>The other day, I even wore a dress (very loose and comfy). I didn't get pics of the other outfits, but one was the blue pants and top, and the other was black joggers with the pink blouse.</div><div><br /> </div><div>Today, I am wearing a lightweight striped, short sleeve sweater, tie waist jeans and even sneakers since for once the heat isn't thoroughly cranked in my apartment (we don't control it). I hear it starting to come up today, though. Anyway, I got a pic of this outfit in my terrible bathroom mirror.<br /> </div><div><br /> </div><div>I hope you all are hanging in there. I am in Manhattan, the width of Central Park away from a new field hospital set up outside Mount Sinai Hospital. We hear sirens and helicopters day and night. On a lighter note, I got pandemic shamed for waiting in line for the (very socially distanced) wine store--it's not as if we can buy a case and not go out for it, though. We stock up on everything as much as space allows, which isn't much. We have nowhere to put a case of wine or toilet paper, for that matter! ANYWAY, my husband and I are both working from home (busy, even). We have avoided symptoms. He even had a negative coronavirus test early on, for a cough--just his normal post-cold cough that got re-triggered by cold air or something.<br /> </div><div><br /> </div><div>In less important news, we postponed our trip to Mexico until November, and hope we can go. We were also slated to go to the Olympics....</div> </p>
