Another week of outfits here! This felt like the first true normal week since we got back. Between being gone for a month and daylight savings, it didn’t feel like we were in a good routine for a bit. But we’re back in action!! Well, as much as we can be. I swear I’m trying to adjust and readjust to an ever-changing sleep schedule, but that’s the new normal. (Which, funny note about that, I saw someone on TikTok say we should start saying “Normal, Taylor’s Version” instead of “new normal” and I had a good laugh about it.)
LAST WEEK’S WIN: I’m working out again and it feels so, so good. Wow. My legs have been sore every day and I am just in such a better headspace after a good sweat. Plus, it’s a brief, but totally uninterrupted time for me. Sometimes I don’t recognize myself and forget that this is something I enjoy. It certainly hasn’t always been the case!
THIS WEEK’S GOAL: Add in a few small tasks every day. I’ve, unfortunately, fallen in the trap of being overwhelmed by some big tasks ahead of me, instead of looking at them as a series of small tasks. My family is coming up for Thanksgiving next week (!!!) and I have a lot to do to get the house ready. It felt intimidating at first, until I realized I could 100% break the tasks up into smaller chunks and get a few of those done every day. Even if I don’t get through the whole list, I know I’ll have made some good headway during the week!
TUESDAY
I spent the day getting ready for a couple of upcoming campaigns, which required a few errands. I also toured a couple of office spaces. Nothing too crazy, but I think once we get a sitter schedule set up, it’ll be nice to have a separate office outside of the house, especially with Mike and me both working from home. Video is a big goal of mine for 2022 and he’s on work calls all day, so I feel like having a separate space would be great (he and I could both us it depending on our schedule/needs).
Loafers (c/o, CARLY20 for 20% off)
WEDNESDAY
I originally put this outfit on just for the morning. I was going on a walk with a friend from the neighborhood… and when I got back home, I just couldn’t muster the energy for real clothes.
Sweatshirt (only $18!)
THURSDAY
Only big outing of the day was going to go see a house a friend was looking into buying. I love seeing houses and I quickly volunteered to do the walkthrough with her!
Shirt (only $20)
FRIDAY
Had a good “get my digital life in order” day… aka I tried my best to keep getting on top of my inbox! We also had a few people over for happy hour, which turned into us ordering pizza and making it a whole night.
SATURDAY
Our nieces were supposed to have soccer in the morning and we were going to go watch, but it was canceled! So everyone headed to a local park instead. We went for a walk and then just watched the girls on the playground. Mike and I then had a super low-key afternoon at home as a thunderstorm rolled through. Felt so cozy.
SUNDAY
So this is what I planned to wear and I did for the morning…. but then the whole day derailed. I was just in a bad mood. It was such an off day, that I finally called it “quits,” and put on a sweatshirt and pajama bottoms. I timed up a nap for myself with one of Jack’s and even closed the blinds and got under a quilt. Felt so good to just mentally check out.
Cardigan (c/o)
MONDAY
I had a fairly boring Monday of getting geared up for the week. I had a lunchtime dentist appointment– I braced myself for lots of cavities because I had heard they’re super common during pregnancy… but I only had one tiny one. As annoying as it is to have any, I was relieved it was just the one.
Sweater (c/o)
Love your outfits! Especially the sweaters and jeans combo!
Thanks for keeping it real with us!

Someone I follow is renting a small apartment as her office space. She said it made more sense financially and it was a bonus to have a kitchen to keep food for lunches. Something work considering!
Tuesday’s blazer is 🤌🏻 *chef’s kiss*.
Love your outfit posts. Your blazer, jean and sneakers outfit is the inspiration I have been looking for to incorporate my blazers into my Covid relaxed office wear.
Should read “flats” not “sneakers.” Although sneakers would work too.
Hi Carly,
The Stubbs and Wooten code is not working. Is there a different code? Thank you!
Oh bummer! It must have expired!
