Seven plus-size work and work-from-home outfits.

SATURDAY

I took an actual picture of this on Saturday, I know I did. And yet…it’s nowhere to be found. So here’s a screengrab of the tiktok video.

I was sort of a hot mess that day cuz rain.

SUNDAY

Someone on TikTok said this look was “drip.” That’s good, right??

This is my “I want to look nice in the city BUT we’re also going to be doing a lot of walking and I don’t want to turn into a puddle (of sweat)” outfit of the day.

MONDAY

No-work holiday. Woop woop. On the computer all the livelong day.

TUESDAY

Back to work in the office. As winter drags on (and really, it practically just started!) I’m getting weary of my clothing options. It’s especially difficult when you’re trying to share your Outfit of the Day with the world and you’re trying to not repeat items that often cuz yawn for me AND them.

So here is a rare Pop of Color for me. I love this red plaid blouse but I usually wear it under a pullover so you only get a glimpse of the bold color at the collar, cuffs, and in the shirttails peeking out the bottom.

Red/black/white is one of the most strident contrasts to me. I know it’s popular but I just have a hard time in it so rarely wear it and when I do I always feel a little uncomfortable, like I want to change into something beige as soon as possible.

Is everyone this affected by clothing colors??

WEDNESDAY

Work from home. Not leaving the building. Listening to inauguration. Got a rope to jump after work.

My world has gotten so small.

THURSDAY

Back in the office today. I haven’t worn this sweater in awhile. I tend to wear so many rich, spicy, autumnal colors in the fall, that by the time New Years comes I’m sort of over them and lean towards a cooler palette.

But I’m feeling such a shortage of thin-to-lightweight knits right now (as I ALWAYS do at this time of year! There aren’t enough lightweight knits in the world for me!) that I pulled it out anyway.

I know these things might seem petty but they’re honestly the thoughts I have when putting outfits together.

Anyway, I wanted to break up the “autumn” feel, so added the white button-down underneath. The v-neck on the sweater is a little large for this but…THERE AREN’T ENOUGH PROPERLY-SIZED NECK-HOLES IN THE WORLD FOR ME.

One more thing to add to my headstone.

For someone who’s not planning on HAVING a headstone, I sure have a lot of things to write on one.

FRIDAY

FRIDAY. Comfy Friday.

Don’t HAVE to go anywhere, but might run out after work for a coffee and a sunset.

This feels coffee and sunset appropriate.

And that week’s a wrap! I finally have a couple new items whooshing their way to me right now, hopefully some of them will work out and I can start wearing some of the colors I’m craving right now!
