Work From Home In Style

Thank you to Express & ShopStyle for kindly sponsoring this post.
All opinions are 100% honest & completely my own.

work from home outfit

I knew the transition into fall was going to be challenging, but we’ve had so many curve balls thrown our way that it’s taken me longer than I expected to get into a solid work-from-home routine.  Between the kids going back to school only part-time to the wildfires forcing us to stay indoors to my husband taking on a new business venture, it’s been pretty chaotic around our house.  But, now that we’ve had almost a full month to adjust, I think I’m finally getting into a rhythm that works.

I’ve been working from home for the last 10 years, but now that I’m caring for my dad & managing online learning for my kids, it’s definitely a lot more to juggle than ever before.  I’m learning that giving myself structure is the best way for me to succeed & feel like I have some control over the way things play out.  Breaking the day into specific task-related time blocks has been a game-changer to help me get everything done without feeling frazzled.  Once I came up with this system, I set recurring daily alarms on my phone…so when they go off, I know it’s time to move on to the next block (I even set alarms for things like eating lunch & working out!).

Another thing that has been so helpful for me is actually getting ready each day.  It does take some time out of my schedule, but I always end up feeling more productive – it’s really amazing the difference it makes just putting a little effort into your look.  At the beginning of quarantine, I know we were all living in sweatshirts & sweatpants, so now it actually feels good to put on more elevated separates & I’ve found some great options recently at Express.

Express asymmetric sweater

This sweater is basically my favorite piece ever – slouchy, cozy & oh-so-perfect for fall.  It’s all the things I’m looking for in a comfy knit – it has an oversized fit, so I definitely recommend sizing down.  This is long enough to wear with leggings (or sweats on the weekend!) – comes in 4 colors & would also be so chic paired with a midi skirt & heels for date night.

If you’ve been following me for a while, you know my love for Express denim & these jeans are no exception.  I actually have been on the hunt for a pair of new gray jeans to replace my “low rise” denim from several years ago and these are exactly what I wanted.  They fit more like a jegging, which means they have a good amount of stretch & are more comfortable to wear while working from home because they move with you without stretching out.

More comfy at-home outfits to try:

  • this oversized crewneck with these joggers (be sure to size down)
  • this soft mock neck dress (so flattering but feels like pajamas!)
  • this hooded sweatshirt with these herringbone leggings
  • this camel cardigan with this bodysuit & these black jeans

I’m a big fan of this tan + off-white color combo because I think it’s a timeless pairing.  This ribbed sweater comes in 6 different colors & is so easy to dress up or down, thanks to the fitted silhouette. Express has so many cute knitwear styles for the new season like this cable knit sweater, this ruched-sleeve crewneck (great for layering!), this balloon-sleeve v-neck & this tunic sweater (perfect for pairing with leggings).

I know white jeans can feel a bit polarizing in the cold weather months, so this ivory denim is the ideal solution because they aren’t as stark as a true white.  These have a high waist with more of a mom jean fit (my current favorite) & the raw hem gives them a casual, lived-in feel.  I own these mules in two colors now & they are some of my most-worn shoes because they’re comfortable & easy to just slip on & go.  Throw on a structured blazer for Zoom calls & you’re all set!

More work-ready looks I love:

  • this fringe button cardigan with this tee & these jeans
  • this balloon sleeve sweater with these satin joggers
  • this puff-sleeve blouse with these high-waisted culottes
  • this black cardigan with this camisole & these olive skinny jeans
