Lots of us have been thrown into working from home, or just quarantined at home with no work, and we’re living in joggers—or just changing from our night pajamas to our day pajamas haha! I’m pretty much doing that myself, so no judgement…I spend half my life in yoga leggings. I’ve been working from home for almost five years, so I know how uncomfortable it is to get dressed in real clothes when you’re not even leaving the house! But my husband Paul works from home too, and he gets dressed in normal clothes each day…even now when we are all quarantined at home. So in order to NOT look like a slob around him, I have perfected the art of wearing outfits that LOOK like I’m dressed but feel like I’m in pajamas 😉
Flowy Pants
I’m pretty much obsessed with flowy wide leg pants right now, because they are just so comfy—plus they are super cute and flattering! I like to choose a pair that has a wide leg all the way from the thigh down to the ankle, rather than a flare style. I also prefer ones that have a smocked waist to give my waist some definition. A tie or sash at the waist makes it even cuter. And a soft, light and airy material will make them look elegant and feminine, but feel as comfortable as loungewear.


Maxi Skirts
I love wearing flowy maxi skirts at home too, because they look better than sweatpants but feel just as comfy. Best of all, I can feel girly in a pretty skirt but I can still sit cross-legged in my desk chair, which I do a lot. Maxi skirts are super in right now, and I’m loving ones with floral and bohemian prints. Maxi skirts look gorgeous in wrap styles or with a gathered drawstring at the waist and a flowy, wide skirt that touches almost to the ground. I’m not as crazy about midi skirts because they don’t keep my legs as warm…and I always think midi skirts look more flattering with heels. With maxi skirts, I can throw on a pair of comfy flats—because you aren’t going to see me in heels while I’m working from home!


Maxi Dresses
There is literally nothing more comfortable than a flowy maxi dress, right? I love to wear dresses in general, but when I’m working from home I’m just not as comfy in a shorter dress. A long dress allows me to stretch my legs and sit however I want, plus on these chilly spring days the long length keeps my legs warm. I love long-sleeved maxi dresses for Spring, but I also sometimes wear a sleeveless maxi dress with a cute little cropped cardi. There are two things I always look for in a maxi dress: that it’s defined at the waist and flows all the way down to the ankle.


Jumpsuits
Okay, so maybe I lied when I said there is nothing more comfortable than a maxi dress…because a super soft jumpsuit is probably even better! I am not talking about a structured, tailored jumpsuit here…it has to be a jumpsuit in a drapey jersey fabric if you really want to feel like you’re wearing pajamas 😉 I prefer jumpsuits that are defined at the waist and have a short bodice, as high-waisted styles elongate the leg. Also I refuse to wear jumpsuits with zippers and other closures that make it insanely annoying to go to the bathroom! So instead I search for styles that can easily slide up and down…a lot of times they have elastic smocking or a sash at the waist. I love jumpsuits with a wide leg or cinched at the bottom like a jogger. Here are some of my favorite jumpsuits I’ve been wearing right now.
