At home I wear whatever. Right now we’re in the third week of a heat wave (102 yesterday) so I’ve been wearing shorts, sleeveless tops, and sandals. I’m taking a lapidary class and the grinding wheels are cooled with water, so I end up getting a little wet. I started wearing an old kitchen apron. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-from-home-wiw#post-1942315 Sat, 28 Jul 2018 13:25:23 +0000 Peri 1942315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I work at home, but teaching piano so I'm with people...business casual for me. If I worked at home alone I'd wear whatever I wanted! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-from-home-wiw#post-1942289 Sat, 28 Jul 2018 09:54:03 +0000 chirico (Chiara) 1942289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry about your mom...<br /> The color combination is very nice! You look really artsy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-from-home-wiw#post-1942282 Sat, 28 Jul 2018 07:53:08 +0000 Jessikams 1942282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So many of us work from home in various forms these days- Runcarla, I think retirement definitely includes working from home, running the household, etc. You look very pulled together in your outfit.<br /> Jenn and Janet, waving at fellow artists. I struggle with the idea of paying for a coworking space, but I do like to separate “messy studio space” from “paperwork/computer work area.” Plus it’s nice to meet other folks and have a place to work outside the house. Re: process, this summer I’m working a lot in gouache, pen and pencil. New combos for me.<br /> Creative work is indeed a blessing. Nothing else like that “flow.” </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-from-home-wiw#post-1942233 Sat, 28 Jul 2018 01:58:37 +0000 Jenn 1942233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I lost my mom a little over two years ago and remember that grieving/processing time well. It took me about a year to start feeling at all normal again. </p> <p>I’m also an artist working from home and created a “uniform” for myself for studio days of black ponte pants and a comfy black button-down shirt. Washable is key! I try to wear an apron, but don’t always remember. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-from-home-wiw#post-1942229 Sat, 28 Jul 2018 01:49:30 +0000 jussie 1942229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So sorry for your loss. Lovely painting outfit, still looking cute! nice kitties. xoxo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-from-home-wiw#post-1942119 Fri, 27 Jul 2018 19:10:32 +0000 Janet 1942119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look much more pulled together working at home than I do! I tend to hang out in shorts or jeans and tees, or workout gear, until I need to leave the house. Your hacked jeans look so cute on you. </p> <p>I like your work too! I’m curious about your process and medium, if you care to share. </p> <p>I’m thinking very seriously (I’m about 90% sure I’m doing it) about giving up my rented studio space and just working from home again. I have a home office that is well suited to my needs. It’s been 8 years and I feel like I’ve kind of gotten all I’ll get out of that space. I’ll save thousands of dollars a year, which I can use for photo trips. I think I may post in off-topic about the struggles I’m having with this. </p> <p>I’m sorry about your mom. I’ve been there and know all too well how lost one can feel in the wake of that loss. Creative pursuits can be so healing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-from-home-wiw#post-1942114 Fri, 27 Jul 2018 18:55:20 +0000 Anonymous 1942114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this outfit!

I usually like color but am especially drawn to the black pieces.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-from-home-wiw#post-1942075 Fri, 27 Jul 2018 16:38:44 +0000 Cardiff girl 1942075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You manage to look stylish even when”dressed down”!I tend to wear a scruffy tracksuit and I definitely don’t feel moved to post a picture of that!I m so sorry that you have lost your mother and hope that you will continue to find your art therapeutic in your grief. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-from-home-wiw#post-1942060 Fri, 27 Jul 2018 15:32:08 +0000 Adriana 1942060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look arty, and clean! Love the colors together. At home I like to wear something simple but nice, like jeans and sweater/t-shirt, so that I don't feel embarrassed to open the door. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-from-home-wiw#post-1942053 Fri, 27 Jul 2018 15:11:48 +0000 Carla 1942053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your art! I grew up with an artist (mom) who was also a high school art teacher and later gov't arts administrator. I learned how to properly hang a piece and do art installations when I was 12. I didn't get the gene, ended up a 'jock', and even have trouble applying make-up!</p> <p>I'm retired, so I guess I 'work at home' most days now,. This is what I'm wearing today, which has included grocery shopping this morning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-from-home-wiw#post-1942042 Fri, 27 Jul 2018 14:46:07 +0000 Like the Season 1942042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Creative work has such healing power, doesn't it? It has helped get me through some of the most difficult times in life, too.&nbsp;</p> <p>You look beautiful and comfortable in your studio outfit, as women in their element so often do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-from-home-wiw#post-1941956 Fri, 27 Jul 2018 10:07:26 +0000 Anonymous 1941956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First- condolences on loss of your mom. I know It takes a while to get over that “orphaned” feeling. I wish you peace.<br /> Second- love your companions. I am sitting reading and posting with my grand kitty next to me - I think he wants a treat. We only visit 3 times a year but he remembers me as his treat lady;-)<br /> Third- I would think indestructible would be main criteria for working with paint at home. Love the blue peeking from behind apron. Bright colors inspire!<br /> Fourth- interesting pieces and definitely inspired by locale. I love fabrics so I am big on “ tapestry “ type pieces- a friend sent us quite a few when he returned home to China.I enjoy them everyday at my home and enjoy the pieces he sent our daughter when we visit her ( like now). The several paintings we have at home were painted by DH grandfather and so very special to us. Keep painting - it’s therapeutic ( like my sewing and needlework)</p> <p>I am retired now but when I did work from home I was uncomfortable staying in pjs or lounge wear so I would guilt myself into dressing in work casual- lol. Saw it as motivating I guess. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-from-home-wiw#post-1941955 Fri, 27 Jul 2018 09:35:20 +0000 Jessikams 1941955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve been painting a lot this summer. It’s helped me to process my mom’s illness and death earlier this spring. </p> <p>I paint in my home studio, as opposed to the coworking space where I do my less messy (computer) work. Here’s the kind of thing I wear on “studio days”: eminently destructible, comfy, soft. (Yes those are flared jeans that I hacked off)<br /> Bonus shots of some of the art, and of course my work-from-home colleagues.</p> <p>What do you wear when working from home? </p>
