I’ve worn leggings for far too many days now.  I haven’t put on makeup in more than two weeks. I’m in desperate need of a good dress up day.  And I can’t be the only one.

So here’s the deal.

On Tuesday, I’m hosting virtual, work from home dress up day.  You know, like in elementary school when you had pajama day or dress like your hero day.  Except instead of a costume, we’re going to put on our favorite work outfits, get all buffed and puffed, and give our stretchy pants the day off.

If you want to participate, dress up on Tuesday, and post a photo to your Facebook or Instagram with the #WFHdressupday.  You can dress professional or business casual.  The only rule is no athleisure, sweat pants or pajamas.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to start planning my outfit.

    love this idea! although I am going all-in with embracing no-makeup for as long as I can (part experiment – how does my skin/face do without all that STUFF?) but I’ll be there with dressing up in the new Boden dress I got right before all this started….

    Love it! I’m putting on an actual dress and tights and heels. I never thought I’d miss them so much!

    • RKT says:

      Sounds fun! I was wondering: I think you did a post on makeup for video calls a while ago? If so, could you refresh that for now? Tips appreciated!

      • Amy says:

        I find that most computer video screens will wash you out – great if you tend towards pale and blotchy like I do! I can skip the foundation and get away just fine with blush, mascara, lip balm to counteract the winter peeling lips and a swipe of the laura mercier eye crayons in whatever color suits you. 5 minutes or less. Add a dusting of powder if you run oily.
        Since I also used to go out of my house to do the school run/errands/etc. I’d add in concealer where you need it…these days apparently not necessary.

The Beauty Edit: An Under-Eye Concealer That Actually Works

My dark under eye circles have been the bane of my existence since I was 12. Is the cause lack of sleep? Dehydration? Sinus issues? Stress? Who the hell knows. But there they are, every day, telling the world that I am an exhausted working Mom.

Every now and again, I spot a piece on sale and I have to have it. I need it. I cannot live without it. Recently, I spotted a jersey tee at Boden that takes a casual top to the next level, and I just needed to share.

Saw It On Social: The Battle of the Spendy Swimsuits

Sloane loves the pool. She jumps from the deck into the water with a crash, never considering her own safety, only to emerge on the surface, shouting “Again!” The pool is my daughter’s happy place. But no place where I need to wear a swimsuit in public is a happy one for me.

The Mondays: July 22, 2024

The Crowdstrike/Microsoft Meltdown forced me to take a few days off this weekend. No laptop. No billable hours. So we packed Sloane up for a visit to a local llama farm, stopped by the pool, went for coffee, etc. Few things are as funny as watching a 23-month old feed carrots to a ravenous rescue […]
