Because I work from home, my everyday outfits are pretty lackluster. If I don’t have meetings and I’m going to yoga at night, there’s a high chance that I’ll be in yoga clothes all day. And I’m not going to lie, there are days when I opt for sweatshirts and leggings over anything else.
But then are days when I have meetings and have to actually look somewhat presentable. It rarely makes sense to get super dressed up, business casual at most… Yet, I generally just wear something comfortable and put together so I can go from desk to meeting and back to my desk again.
This Lilly tee and skort combination is one of my recent faves. Last week was a meeting-crazy week and I gladly pulled out the colorful print for a particularly busy day.
I like to keep things simple in terms of jewelry and I finally got my charm bracelet back from the jeweler. I haven’t taken it off! It jingles and jangles in the best way– it’s definitely an eye catcher, too.
Also a note on this t-shirt… It might be the best t-shirt I’ve acquired this summer. It’s cut like a blouse so it works for dinners with girlfriends (just add white jeans and wedges) and is comfortable enough to wear all day. It’s a little bit pricey for a simple tee, but definitely one you can get a lot of use from for years to come.
These are always my favorite outfits – versatility is great! Last Fall, my semester was really weird and had awkward class times, making versatile outfits really important! xx, Mikkaela The Southwestern Prepster
This outfit looks so simple yet so put together! I both teach and take classes at university so I have to make my outfits nice enough for the Spanish class that I teach and comfortable enough for my own grad school seminars! This is a perfect example! Love,
I love this look! I agree – it's always hard to come up with outfits that are casual but still make it look like you're trying, haha. That skirt is so cute, by the way!
Taken on a much sunnier day ☀️🕶️ I used to think I could live somewhere gloomy and rainy, but… after this bout of clouds, downpours, and overall gloom, I’m realizing I wouldn’t last a week. #tuckernucking
I was so excited that @MyMyrtleBeach invited me to come play pickleball with them! I am obsessed with pickleball and had a blast playing at City Pickle, right here in NYC. We brushed up on the rules, practiced some dinking, and got to play a few rounds of the game– it was the perfect way to spend the day because everyone plays at the beach! #ad
I loved watching The Parent Trap growing up and still do to this day. It is one of my go-to comfort movies… There’s so much I love about it: the cast, the soundtrack, and (of course!) the wardrobe. We all have a little Annie James and a little Hallie Parker in us! I’ve always been drawn to Annie’s style, but love the carefree nature of Hallie’s. #parenttrap @nmeyers #tuckernucking

Wearing vs styling an outfit with a bump! I feel so much better when I’m wearing something cute (dress well to feel well maybe?)… I’ve been fighting the temptation to wear comfy clothes while pregnant though! So far I have found blazers and cardigans an easy way to dress up my second trimester bump, especially as we enter fall.
Apple picking throughout the years 🍎 I can’t wait to go this year. It’s one of my favorite fall activities to do… I don’t even care that it’s usually expensive and crowded and basic, I live for it!
What an adorable outfit! Love the skirt!
