Hahaha when I just put all the pictures in here I realized I’m looking down in every single one. IT WAS JUST ONE-A THOSE WEEKS! Plus, Monday was a holiday and I’m not sure I ever got dressed or left the building.

Tuesday

Work from home day. Obvi. There was a zoom meeting so I had to get dressed but I kept it easy and casual. This buttondown is super soft and comfy to wear casually. And I would probably wear these jeans every day if I could. PS there was a heavy rain during the night and brought down a bunch of big branches.

For a casual outfit I give this an 8/10. What could make it better? Clean sneakers without curled-up toes (from washing). Jeans that aren’t so wrinkled at the knee.

Shirt: Madewell Oversized Boyfriend Buttondown in April Stripe, size 3x. Currently out of stock but I’ve seen it come back in twice
Jeans: Gloria Vanderbilt Amanda jeans in Callisto wash, size 22 short, self-cropped
Shoes: Keds Champions, canvas

Wednesday

An in-office workday but I still kept it pretty casual. I liked the concept of it in my mind more than the reality. I LIKE the look of a white shirt peeking out below a sweater (sweatshirt, blazer, etc), but my tee is too long. Plus it has the typical PLUS SIZE GIANT HEAD HOLE CUZ OUR HEADS ARE THE SIZE OF COMPETITION PUMPKINS so you don’t get the nice rim of white collar just inside the collar of the outer piece. Man, I really have a thing about collars lately.

I give this a 6.5/10. What would make it better? Shorter shirt with better collar, cleaner sneakers, and straighter jeans.

Sweater: Catherine Malandrino cashmere, 3x
Tee: Amazon Daily Ritual Swing Tee, size 4x
Jeans: Old Navy High-Waisted Secret-Slim Pockets + Waistband Power Slim Straight Plus-Size Jeans, in Lily (Lily? LILY?? How is this color lily?), size 24 short
Shoes: Keds Champions, canvas

Thursday

Speaking of collars, this one is PERFECT. Remember this moment, you may never hear those words from me again. It’s a nice small v-neck that sits close to my neck all the way around (except, obviously, the “v”). The sleeves are also perfect (wow). They’re long, slim-fitting and perfectly stretchy. I push them up my arm and they stay there. When I push them back down, they’re not all stretched-out and baggy.

This shirt was gifted to me by Amazon seller vislily and I really like it.

I give the outfit 8/10. Less wrinkled jeans and cleaner sneakers would crispen (crispen? is that a word? that’s a word, right? it sounds…unfamiliar) it up for me.

Shirt: ROSRISS Plus-Size Tops for Women Long Sleeve V Neck T Shirts, size 24
Jeans: Gloria Vanderbilt Amanda jeans in Callisto wash, size 22 short, self-cropped
Sneakers: Keds Champions, canvas

Friday

FRIDAY. In the office. Actually looking like I work in an office, ha ha. This was a pretty casual week. I didn’t realize it til I saw all the pictures here together. I also just realized that I didn’t put these black loafers in my What I Bought in September post. They’re the black version of my leopard ones – very comfortable and good for walking. They’ve been a life-saver; if you’ve been here awhile you know how long the search for black flats has been! And while this end-of-day photo has the outfit looking a little rumpled and tired, I give this an 9/10 for office wear. What could improve it? I think a little bit of jewelry.

Turtleneck: Jessica London Black Cashmere Cotton Turtleneck, size 22/24
Cardigan: Old Navy Super-Long Open-Front Plus Size Sweater in Blackjack, size 2x. This is the exact one I have, the fine-knit cotton/rayon blend that I have worn exactly 2, 398 times in the past 3 years. It’s in stock right now (it isn’t always available). They also have it right now in camel (like mine) and a nice olive green that’s not too yellow (I have olive green issues)
Jeans: Gloria Vanderbilt Amanda jeans in…they’re so old I don’t remember the name of the color – either Wheatfield or Stonewood, but they’re like a grey-leaning khaki. Size 22 short. Self-cropped.
Loafers: Aerosoles Betunia loafers in black leather

Have a good weekend!
