Home is a rough and tumble place, lol. But I no longer work in an office period... sometimes I wonder if I should give them up... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-wfh-wardrobe-strategy#post-2107205 Fri, 20 Mar 2020 15:03:25 +0000 Helena 2107205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great wardrobe strategy Christina, and so glad your business is well-positioned for WFH. It will be interesting to see if any permanent shifts in working culture come out of this - for example, more proactive encouragement of people to WFH during regular flu seasons, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-wfh-wardrobe-strategy#post-2107203 Fri, 20 Mar 2020 15:01:03 +0000 Preppy Pear 2107203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute outfit! I had intentions of dressing normally for WFH, but I have defaulted to preppy casual jeans, tees and sweaters. No blazers or dresses. I have to get dressed in “real” clothes or I feel down, but dressing up (for me) feels a little eerie. I hope everyone staying home is wearing what feels right to them, whether it’s PJs or a ball gown.</p> <p>For the videoconferences I’ve had, there wasn’t enough bandwidth available for video anyway, just audio. I’ll be working from home until the end of the semester and grateful that I can. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-wfh-wardrobe-strategy#post-2107192 Fri, 20 Mar 2020 13:53:51 +0000 Mirjana 2107192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good idea, I am with absolutely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-wfh-wardrobe-strategy#post-2107191 Fri, 20 Mar 2020 13:45:29 +0000 CarolS 2107191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with you, Christina. I don't really want to wear full on office wear at home every day, but I shouldn't keep living in "whatever", either. Your boho strategy sounds perfect for your situation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-wfh-wardrobe-strategy#post-2107185 Fri, 20 Mar 2020 13:21:21 +0000 Christina F. 2107185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>It turns out that I don't want to wear lounge clothes all day, but nor do I want to dress up as much as I did for work.</div><div><br /></div><div>The main differences for me are the following. 1. I hate wearing tight pants at home. 2. My home office is my bedroom, which is in a pre-war old NYC apartment building, on the top floor. On colder days, the heat blasts. So here is what I have done.</div><div> <ul> <li>Got my spring clothes out of storage sooner, and switched in some of my winter clothes. I don't need sweaters inside my home and need only very few for my walks outside since the weather has ranged from kind of cold to quite mild. Usually a long sleeved top suffices under my jacket.</li> <li>I am holding on to some more boho-style items I might have passed on. My style went away from boho, my shadow style a bit. Now I am finding it to be PERFECT for being home all day, and presentable enough for conference calls.</li> <li>I had shied away from short sleeve blouses before, since they didn't work in my office. Now, I've ordered a couple because they are more presentable on vcon than tank tops (and don't need a layer over them), but cooler than long sleeves. I also have some nicer t-shirts that work.</li> </ul> I hate taking photos in my tiny bathroom, but this is today's outfit. I added a long pendant. Today is supposed to go from 45 degrees to 75 (!!!) so I may wear this with white sneakers and a light jacket for an evening walk; usually I'd change to jeans.<br /></div><div></div><div>The fact of the matter is that I am pretty sure be working from home for at least two months. My org is being cautious and is very well set up for teleworking for everyone. If the restrictions loosen then, I may even elect to stay at home longer because I have asthma. This depends how it all progresses. So I am thinking this at-home work wardrobe may be a longer-term thing for me. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I am fortunate to have my job that I can do from home, and that with my underlying condition I'm not one of the front line folks. My org will be here, still working on climate when everyone can focus on it again (though this crisis has been great for climate, TBH. One of the major silver linings of all this awfulness).<br /></div> </p>
