Day 57

Hi all
i am definitely in a rut... everyday I wear a tank top and leggings and if I am really splashing out I add a bra, earrings and or a scarf. I wear the same Stegmann wool clogs every day. I do meet with kids and adults online for my job as a a school counselor so I have to make my top third look at least decent ...
And I am starting to feel ..blah.... how are y’all doing with this? I see some nice outfits posted hear for staying at home.. and Angie you blow me away!
I think I need to change it up this week!

I think you look very pretty! Scarf, earrings, nice hair and the smile - all
works for you so well. Love your printed cardigan!
Ditto on wearing the same shoes at home .

With no office day, I just wear my bakery clothes 24x7. I think I’m cute, but I’m getting tired of it. But it’s so practical. Right now I’m debating whether to put on my new jeggings to walk with Lilypup because after that I need to do some weeding...

You look lovely for SAH! The scarf is gorgeous and meeting ready.
Has the weather changed much where you are? I’ve been pulling out skirts and dresses when it’s warm, jeans when it’s cool. Dressing for the changing weather has helped push me out of my rut - I wore the same jeans for most of March and early April, but I am too excited to wear summer clothes to not wear them at home.
I don’t wear shoes at home other than old boat shoes for the patio, so that’s definitely getting boring. Your clogs are cute.

The scarf and smile make you look so pretty! I know how you feel though. I think it's the isolation that is making me so weary. I still go to the office a few days a week for things I can't do at home and still feel in a funk. Your hair is looking marvelous too!

You really have a wonderful WFH look. Fabulous scarf and super cute earrings. I'm having a hard time fighting off the style doldrums too, but I know this feeling will pass with time.

Slim cat -Thank you for saying I look pretty.. I guess I am pretty raw right now because it makes me cry to read this ... touching a nerve I didn’t realize was there ! ❤️

Rachy- I am sure you look super cute in your bakery clothing

preppy Pear- thank you . I think the weather isn’t helping here in NY state. It is lovely one day and then freezing the next. Today is cold and dreary. That said I did start digging out my spring/summer clothing which is more colorful. I think I am craving color. I love my clogs! So comfy. Just sick of them

Thanks Kelly! I guess it is hard not to feel in a funk right now isn’t it?

nuance dream- thank you ! And you are right it will pass...

Lovely to see you, Momo! Looking pretty as always, and KILLER soft scarf. Very romantic and ethereal. Your quarantine halfway house dressing works well - what not

...and thanks for the kind words too....

I think you look great. I don’t know why you don’t think so. I wear pretty much the same thing every day, too, but my uniform includes Columbia hiking pants.

Even though the lockdown has been eased considerably here this week, I am still feeling blah. You look wonderful regardless.

Well you look like you are smashing the lockdown dressing.l think alittle style fatigue is normal given that we have all dressing for the same “event” for weeks now.lm in gym kit all day for house work ,gardening etc,no point getting dressed up at the moment but think of how good it’s going to feel when we can!

You look great, and comfort is key! I am giving myself permission to look more professional on top, plus comfy on bottom. I do understand starting to feel a bit down as time goes on. Look for those items/outfits that make you feel happy or put a spring in your step. For me it is stripes! Maybe not the best for video calls, but good for my mental health.

Hi Angie! That is it I guess halfway dressing lol
jaileen - I have been thinking a lot about why I don’t feel that way
Thank you for the impetus to think about it .
Shevia- I guess feeling a bit blah at times it is just an extension of the crazy times we are living in
Cardiff girl - yes! Same event for soooo long!
Becky- comfort is key
i saw on the BR website a section which is athleta on the bottom BR on the top lol.. yes! Trying to up the happy factor. I am actually wearing stripes today

You look great, even if you feel you're in a rut - no one else would think so looking at you. It will be good for your sanity to change it up if that's what you feel like doing, though.

I myself am almost back to dressing the way I was before. My clothes give me solace and add some interest to my life, especially since I believe will be working from home a long time (my org can work remotely and will be extra cautious about sending all back to the office). I would hate for them to go unused all that time! My one rule right now is that I can't stand constricting bottoms, so some of my jeans and pants are going to be unused.

DH and I have decided to keep up the lockdown until we see if the virus is really gone. We are both too vulnerable. You look great for your meetings.
I like real clothes and try to dress smart casual each day with light makeup, earrings and other jewelry. Walking the dog is usually the high light of the day, that and walking to the mailbox. By mid May we may be able to do some yard/ garden work. By then most cold weather and snow we hope will be gone. It is still too early to wash and pack away the woolies, but I am looking forward to it.
