Raise your hand if you’ve seen a single Tiktok video of an influencer telling you that you can make your loungewear look super chic just by adding gold jewelry? I have watched so many! And while I seriously doubt that a little bling is going to amp up my dirty sweatpants/baggy sweatshirt combo, all of those videos have got me thinking about things that glitter. This post is my gold jewelry ‘wishlist’ but there are so many sales happening this weekend, don’t be surprised if I start posting pics in a few weeks with one or two of these…

Up until this point, I have not been shopping at all. I really lost my motivation to do my usual online shopping because I I truly had no place to wear anything to. It’s not a fun thought. And while I’m personally very pessimistic and critical of states reopening right now, it has occurred to me that we won’t be in lockdown forever. Not to mention, shopping for clothes and finding good deals brings me joy, which is something I’m trying to cling to right now at any chance I can. Here are a few things currently in my shopping cart that I’m excited to wear after quarantine.

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!)
