Monday

My hair is having A Moment. A BAD Moment. Too long without a trim + humid days = Rebellious Bangs. And I’m just dealing with it now while I don’t need to make myself presentable for public consumption…but starting next week I’ll be in the office 2-3 full days a week WITH OTHER HUMANS, so I will need to do something. 

I feel like I went somewhere that afternoon but I can’t remember where. But I was au casual in self-cropped Gloria Vanderbilt Amanda jeans, laceless Keds, and Lane Bryant swing top.

tuesday

Election Day! At the polling place the woman that gave me my ballot sheet liked my dress. Said she could never find easy dresses like this. But now that the trains were running again (were they ever not running?) she could go into the city and find some just like this (I didn’t have the heart to tell her it took me two years to find this dress!) to send to her sister down in Alabama. We had quite the conversation.

I am quite pleased at how nicely my taupe bag goes with all my light-colored summer things.

Junarose dress, Keds, some mumblemumble brand taupe bag from DSW.

wednesday

It was a dual-doctor-day. Back to Sloan Kettering for follow-up blood work after my scan a couple weeks (a month?) back…and then to a walk-in medical care center to get a Covid-19 test that is required for me to return to work. I was dreading it ALL DAY. Everyone I’ve spoken to has told the WORST stories about the nasal swab and I was a nervous wreck by the time I was walking in. But miracle of miracles, the place I went used a throat swab instead of the nasal one and it was NOTHING. I practically SKIPPED out of there afterward, feeling I had won the Coronavirus Test Lottery! I wore another “easy” Junarose dress to help me make it through my arduous afternoon.

thursday

Oops. I went to a friend’s for dinner and I should have asked her to take my picture but it’s awkward to ask someone who doesn’t get the whole blogging thing. I wore my other Junarose dress. You know the one. This week was a Junarose trifecta.

friday

I just threw on clothes at the end of the day to run up to the post office. I found all my linen pants from last year last week (does that sentence make sense?? I bought them last year…I found them last week) and ran them all through a warm wash and the dryer (I NEVER warm water wash + dryer my clothes) in hopes that they would shrink. I didn’t try the other ones on yet but these are a big fail. I’ve got them pulled all the way up to my bra and have to pooch my stomach out so they don’t slip down and put the crotch around my knees. So they’re really not practical for wearing to a PLACE. And they’re not that comfortable for just wearing around the house. So I think they’re gonna go back in the wash and then to the Poshmark pile. I really have to get working on that pile so I can get the summer things listed during the summer!

Black Daily Ritual tee from Amazon (size 4x), olive linen pants from some Nordstrom brand last year, and million-year-old Mephisto slides.

So this was the last full week of Work From Home Wardrobe…next week I’ll begin segueing back to regular Workday Wardrobe. Maybe. I feel this might be too boring for summer. I mostly wear dresses, not layers, I don’t know how interesting that is, week after week. I haven’t bought anything new in what seems like ages (you think THIS is boring, wait til What I Bought This Month for June! Spoiler alert: 2 books and a lipstick) and I’m just wearing the same handful of things week after week. Let me know what you think.
