Still on the hunt for a brown, burgundy or olive one that I can still teach easily in. </p> <p>That sounds like the weather here in Hong Kong, but for 9 months of the year - today was 'only' 19C at 80% humidity, but yesterday was 29C! My problem is that I generally prefer to stay covered up even in summer (AC is on nearly all year-round here), so lightweight &amp; breathable natural materials are key. Cinnamon is a great colour when I can find it for summer - no luck yet, though! </p> <p>Glad to see someone else also not consider navy as a neutral - I feel like I missed the masterclass on neutrals that everyone else seems to have taken, lol. You've done a very thorough job of collecting your finds - I keep saying I'll do it too but I've been putting off since my indoor lighting isn't great. Eventually! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-wfh-teaching-lounging-ii#post-2115692 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 10:37:28 +0000 Anonymous 2115692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear orange to work, but am business casual under normal circumstances. My summers are 90s and humid- so sleeveless, skirts/dresses, sandals for 6 months My neutrals are black, burgundy, brown, and cinnamon. I wear a little navy, but don't consider it neutral for me- and I pair it with black. See my finds :)<br /> Toban is a DA too, and lives just a couple hours from me, and she wears a lot of navy and cream-besides the burgundy, orange, olive, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-wfh-teaching-lounging-ii#post-2115683 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 07:11:35 +0000 Zaeobi 2115683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b> @Suntiger </b> It seems we're similar in the colours we can wear - the closest I can get to blue is teal. </p> <p>The most difficult part is finding clothes in my colours that are still lightweight enough to wear in Hong Kong's humidity - even suiting seems to favour cool tones (like navy) these days. Any tips? (An orange suit sounds fabulous but may not be work appropriate !) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-wfh-teaching-lounging-ii#post-2115538 Tue, 21 Apr 2020 17:36:24 +0000 Angie 2115538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Zaeobi</b>, thanks for making me laugh </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-wfh-teaching-lounging-ii#post-2115520 Tue, 21 Apr 2020 17:00:40 +0000 Anonymous 2115520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes deep. My hair is medium brown, though auburn works, eyes hazel, skin golden brown. People call me "olive skinned" but I just look deep tan all year. Some winter colors work on me- black and anything not too cool, as well as autumn colors. Pastels, white, most blue are awful on me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-wfh-teaching-lounging-ii#post-2115513 Tue, 21 Apr 2020 16:47:43 +0000 Zaeobi 2115513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b> @suntiger </b> Thanks!

The shoes are by a Hong Kong comfort footwear brand called Jipi Japa. They came with their own cushy padding inside but I added my own insoles for extra comfort indoors. </p> <p><b> Barbara Diane </b> I bought this positively reviewed silk pillowcase from Amazon &amp; it's been great for the price, but the lighter colour has become stained over time by my night products: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FVPEQ5S/" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FVPEQ5S/</a><br /> I'm in the market for a new pillow so I've been thinking of splurging on this black set instead (trying to get on board with paying for quality for everyday things but this still feels extravagant, despite the inevitably low cost per 'wear'):<br /> <a href="https://discovernight.com/products/night-pillow" rel="nofollow">https://discovernight.com/products/night-pillow</a> </p> <p><b> Angie </b> Yayyy I finally have the 'Killer' seal of approval badge from you - I shall pin it to my YLF-issued forum backpack with pride </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-wfh-teaching-lounging-ii#post-2115343 Mon, 20 Apr 2020 18:22:45 +0000 Angie 2115343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER at home look.</p> <p>That is all </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-wfh-teaching-lounging-ii#post-2115342 Mon, 20 Apr 2020 18:18:46 +0000 Barbara Diane 2115342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What brand silk pillowcase do you like? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-wfh-teaching-lounging-ii#post-2115171 Mon, 20 Apr 2020 00:07:25 +0000 MsMaven 2115171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the scarf color on you. I also am interested in your shoes. They look like fun to wear as well as eye-catching.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-wfh-teaching-lounging-ii#post-2115020 Sun, 19 Apr 2020 06:17:05 +0000 Zaeobi 2115020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks <b> @Shevia </b>! I do feel like my hair ends up a lot less frizzy when I use a silk pillowcase - but mine is fairly long, so I usually plait it (which can contribute to rubbing &amp; therefore static). I'm thinking about going the full monty &amp; getting a silk bonnet/ night cap to contain all my hair as I sleep. May as well add cucumbers to my eyes too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-wfh-teaching-lounging-ii#post-2114999 Sun, 19 Apr 2020 03:43:32 +0000 Jaime 2114999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! I have been wondering about silk pillowcases as my hair grows - they make a difference? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-wfh-teaching-lounging-ii#post-2114919 Sat, 18 Apr 2020 16:59:23 +0000 Zaeobi 2114919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks <b> @rachylou </b>, they're actually my indoor shoes - popped in some insoles to make them comfy enough for teaching &amp; the office, but brought them back when I started WFH.

I think the reason I'm struggling with these trousers is they're short when I first put them on, but they reach the length you see now after I've worn them for a bit. I'd actually had them sitting in a holding area (with a plan to eventually replace them) when the virus hit. Lol guess I'll be wearing them for a little longer, at least. </p> <p><b> @Kellygirl </b> these are actually cotton sweatpants with the drawstring tucked away &amp; the tank top worn untucked over the waistband but shh, don't tell anyone </p> <p>Thanks <b> @slim cat </b>! Looking back at the photo, I think wrapping the scarf so the ends reach around waist length actually works well for making the cardigan look more shapely around that area, too. Think I've found a WFH uniform that works for my lifestyle &amp; comfort levels </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-wfh-teaching-lounging-ii#post-2114694 Fri, 17 Apr 2020 15:37:37 +0000 slim cat 2114694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty!

I like the pants too--way better than my standard men's sweat pants! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-wfh-teaching-lounging-ii#post-2114639 Fri, 17 Apr 2020 11:56:39 +0000 Helena 2114639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is a perfect outfit for wfh!

It also works over silk headwraps or with the silk pillowcase I use to stop my curls from frizzing up overnight. </p> <p>This isn't a particularly spectacular outfit formula (I'm making do with pants that are a little higher than ankle length &amp; a cardigan that might look too big on me - or is it just structured enough?) But I hope this DIY tip helps anyone else who's struggling to sleep against bright lights but cannot buy new things at this time. Stay safe, everyone! </p>
