Something that I’ve recently discovered about quarantine is that I have a new chance to truly dress for my own person style and not for dress codes. Not that my work is super strict anyway, but there are certain things I can wear in quarantine and not in the office (crop tops, distressed jeans, etc). About 6 months ago, my office switched from business casual to jean casual. But even then, I still couldn’t wear a lot of the clothes I own. It turns out this is now officially week 10 of me working from home, so I’ve really had a chance to experiment more with my style and try some new combos in my closet. I don’t know about you, but if I just wear sweatpants and pajamas all day, I get like nothing done. And since the only time I see my coworkers and clients now is on a webcam, I’ve come up with a bunch of new outfits that are comfy, but don’t make me feel like I could go take a nap. I’ve been having fun with this and hope you find some new WFH outfit inspiration (so you can give the sweatpants a break).

Words cannot describe the sweet, sweet torture I feel about this dress. The love I have for this dress knows no bounds, but I totally hate the fact that it’s normally $700 (I also have no place to wear it to). I love everything about this dress from the lavender color and how it falls on me, to the material and how it falls on me. It is a rental, but this is honestly just one of those pieces of clothing that I can’t stop thinking about. And no, I’m not going to buy it because even at the discount rate, it’s still too expensive for me. And I need to reiterate that I still am not leaving my house for anything besides grocery shopping. But what I will do is make this blog post featuring several pictures of myself in this dress that I adore but couldn’t keep. True heartbreak.

As I’ve been shopping and on the hunt for sales, I’ve notices a new trend across a bunch of stores that is actually so perfect for spring and summer: lemons! It’s actually kind of crazy how I stumbled upon so many random pieces of clothing related to lemons. Personally, I love the color yellow and I think fruit patterns are really fun and quirky. So I pulled together this blog post of all of the fun lemon print clothes and accessories I’ve found on the internet (and most things are on sale too!)

At a time when we’re all social distancing and handling the global pandemic in the best ways we can, I constantly find myself wondering how I would be spending my time if I wasn’t quarantining in my house. And I don’t want to be sad over the ‘what-ifs’ of what we could all be doing if this horrible virus wasn’t spreading, but I think you’d be lying if you said you don’t think about it either. For example, this year I was really looking forward to going to see the cherry blossoms in DC. I rented this dress from Rent the Runway specifically for that reason. But the truth is I’m not going to get all bummed for not being able to go, especially when my neighbors have this beautiful tree outside their house and all I had to do was walk 10 yards away from my house to get these pictures. I’m super happy with how they turned out!
