WIW: My every single day quarantine outfit

JAileen

Veteran

I’ve been dressing pretty much the same as before the quarantine - tee, Columbia hiking pants, sweatshirt of some kind, slippers.

A BIG change: I cut my own hair. My hair is short and I usually get it cut every four weeks, which would have been April 1st. So it was three weeks past due, and was bugging me. I took off about 1/2 inch. I didn’t do a very good job, but it feels a lot better.

Your hair looks GREAT. Wow! I'm impressed. So neat and tidy! Gorgeous silver grey.

Janet, I support ALL quarantine outfits that work for the wearer. And you've got cute gear

High five, variations on this theme are pretty much what I’ve been wearing every day too! Your hair looks great. Mine is getting shaggy.

You look great and I like your hair........

Angie, thank you. My husband offered to cut it, but I didn’t feel comfortable. He is a wonderful person, but I don’t think his fine motor skills are that great.

Janet, thank you. You have the fabulous quarantine hoody. I just got back from the vet, and had to wear a mask.

Sal, thank you.

Total success - I wouldn't know that you cut it yourself!

Wow, I’m impressed. You did well!

Slim cat, Becky, thank you. I’ve been cutting my husband’s hair for years, but never my own. It’s a whole different ballgame!

Wow, your hair looks terrific. You did an amazing job! Very practical quarantine style. You look put together and comfortable!

Gigi

Very nice! The outfit is very casual, but because the fit is spot-on, it looks very polished.

I think you did a great job on your hair. I never would have guessed you had cut it yourself!

Your hair looks great. I love that jacket top.

Kelly, thank you.

Gigi, thank you. I think if you saw it in person you might be able to tell it was not done in a salon.

Shevia, thank you.

Ms Maven, thank you. This sweatshirt is a favorite. Something about the fit makes me look long and lean, or at least not as pudgy.

I'm impressed with everyone's diy haircuts Wow! I like the shape of the hoodie too. Think I need a structured hoodie!

I think you did a good job with your hair! I'd cut my own, but I'm afraid of what Jade would do to me for trying LOL

Nice job on the haircut. And if you’ve found an outfit that works, I’m all for rinse, lather, repeat. I’ve found myself wearing the same couple of jeans over and over because they just seem better for sitting around staring at my computer for 8 hours a day

You look great. I cut my husband’s hair, and my mum’s. But I haven’t tried doing my own yet. That’s a whole new level of challenge

Great job on the hair! You look fantastic! I find I am wearing the same outfit on repeat, too.

I’m so impressed with your haircut. Your outfit looks good and works for your lifestyle, so no need to change things up.

I love your authenticity, and that your style serves you and not the other way round! Your hair looks great. YLF!

Joy, Bijou, Torontogirl, thank you.

Suntiger, thank you. I got the hoodie at Kohl’s. I’ve worn it dozens of times, at least.

Cindy, thank you. Depending on how long this goes on, my hair may have grown out several times. Who knows.

kkards, thank you. When it was colder, I wore a warmer sweatshirt. It’s really warmed up here. My husband wore shorts yesterday afternoon!

Brooklyn, thank you. I used the same techniques I use on my husband’s hair, but it was so much harder, obviously. I had good scissors, anyway.

You look (and are) fab! I am rarely making it out of pjs before noon. Then gear for a long walk through our deserted mountain streets.

And I need Your self Hair cutting tips. I just saw astrid’s adorable pixie. Found some hair scissors in a drawer two days ago.Just realized DH has an old trimmer. We are making Flowbie jokes.

DD wants me to trim hers. She has offered to cut mine! But I share you concerns (although her fin motor skills are no doubt far better than mine). We are both eyeing the decade-old food coloring left over from her Easter egg days. I’m pinteresting hair streak tutes. Teal or burgundy tips are sOunding remarakbly appealing.....

glad to see you are well.

Karen, so good to hear from you! I looked up Flowbies! They’re kind of expensive. Let your daughter cut your hair and you cut hers. I just gathered up some hair between two fingers and cut off a similar length everywhere. I followed my fairly recent cut. The back is not very good at all. I just trimmed the bottom edge. And the sides by my ears kept getting shorter and shorter. It can’t look worse than those with a big swath of grey on top of their heads. I feel bad for them, actually.

Hair looks pretty good to me! I like those Columbia pants and had two pair in my closet for years until I finally let them go last year. Super handy pants and I could have used them yesterday while out on a hike.

Lisa, thanks! You cutting your hair inspired me. It was just getting so ridiculous looking. To be clear, it is not a great haircut up close.

I got the pants for our birding trip to Nome last year, and I just kept wearing them. They don’t have a lot of weird zippered pockets. I even bought a pair in black for handbell performances.

Nice job on the haircut, Janet! Thanks for the tips. I've been thinking at some point I'll want to take the plunge and do some trimming. But I'm not there yet. A shorter than usual cut before the pandemic has stood me in good stead, it turns out. Your everyday style is nice--I like that you have good quality, well-fitting athleisure gear. That's pretty much my look until after I've done my at-home Pilates.

Firecracker, thank you. I’ve been cutting my husband’s hair for years and years, and that’s how I cut his. His hair is super thick and wavy, though, so our hair is quite different. Our son has thick hair like his father’s, but straight like mine. He uses electric clippers to cut it all off, including his beard, and then lets it grow until it wants to flop over. He likes it sticking out in all directions.

I wear this all day. Even if we go bike riding. I have velcro things for my pants legs. I even wear it doing yard work. Although I usually take off the sweatshirt when I warm up.
