WIW 16 jun 2015 - keeping it real WFH

On another thread Maneera and I discovered we have similar body shapes and challenges dressing for our real lifestyles rather than in blazers and heels like we'd prefer.

This is about as real as it gets for me. I see now my black bra is peeping out - oops - but of course I can't be bothered to change it now lol

For me I am learning to make effort in my day to day life. This is just a beginning. I know I have work to do!

Sorry for photo quality

Pants - Two by VC via Macys a few years ago (tonal pattern that doesn't show in pic)
Top - BR this season
Shoes - old and getting worn but need a replacement! Bought in SP Brazil
Pendant - coach factory
Watch - Michele via rack
Earrings - old too

Thanks for the push i needed and anyone that wants to join us to try to dress better when working from home / MOTG is certainly welcome.

I'm so happy to see this!!!

Believe it or not, you look much much better than what you made it sound like during our conversation!!!

I love the black and white look and your accessories plus makeup make all the difference. You have such gorgeous hair!!!

You're definitely moving in the right direction. This outfit looks dressy comfortable. Good job!

It's 23:48 here so I better goto sleep now. I'll post what I wear tomorrow. Looking forward to this!

I really like the shoes with the black and white.

Sal

I think this is a really cute look, I like it a lot.

You suit the cream top very well!

Suz

You are so pretty! It's great to see you post. That BR top is super on you; I think you gave us a review at one point and I see why you are enjoying it. This is a simple, classic look that totally works on you and you are way too hard on yourself!

Firecracker (Sharan)

You look great! This outfit is nicely put together and definitely ready to leave the house!

Shedev, thanks. I like the shoes a lot but they've seen a lot of wear. I'm looking for a replacement. Being gold and black they're super versatile.

Kiwigal, thanks!

Suz, thanks. I am blushing. The top is ok. I am still not sold on what bottoms to wear with it. I think that's the issue more than the top itself. Thanks for your gentle encouragement. I needed that.

Firecracker, thanks. Many days I am not ready but still leave the house! Haha

You are cute as a button I'll be lurking on this matter. I have all these silky shirts that I'm torn about. I'm tempted to wear them while working from home but then I know I'll destroy them like *that*.

Great to see your wiw. This is a great outfit with beautiful accessories.
It is difficult to think of outfits without a blazer and heels when you are at home , I struggle with that sometimes. But you look wonderful, so glad you shared with us your style.

RL that is my issue too. I have some pretty things but in more delicate fabrics that I feel I need to save or I worry will get messed up, especially with my little ones home in the afternoons. Sigh. Join us on the challenge if you'd like!

Celia, thanks! The accessories do help finish the outfit. I struggle with them too especially in work from home mode and with the kids. But so far it's been worth adding them for the polish they give.

This is really nice! The simple additions of necklace, watch and cute shoes make it all look beautifully pulled together.
