Today is a glorious day. It’s actually pretty crummy and gross outside, but I have NOTHING on the calendar. I try my best to schedule my Fridays this way because there’s nothing better than crushing through to-do lists, entering the weekend feeling good, and starting Monday without last week’s to-dos.
I also love days with nothing scheduled because I don’t have to wear makeup and I can be super casual. Even on days when I do have things planned, I will have my hair and makeup done but when I’m back in my apartment I change into something more comfortable.
So what do I wear when I’m sitting at my desk working all day? This is exactly what I’m wearing today… right down to the slippers!
Nothing terribly ground-breaking, but I’m all about having easy to wear and style t-shirts to work in. Sometimes I’ll wear a college shirt, but these J. Crew factory shirts are inexpensive and comfortable, but throw on a statement necklace and you’re good to go for errands. (Also great for weekends with chino shorts and a favorite pair of Jack Rogers!)
Carly this is EXACTLY what my sister wears when she's studying! She's a law student at UM (so she's basically studying all the time) and when it comes to dressing herself for casual no frills kinds of days, she reverts back to the catholic school uniform mentality and wears several iterations of the same outfit. My go to generally is a button-down shirt (think striped or plaid classic shirts from J. Crew Factory) and jeans or shorts depending on the weather.
Love the look!! I like how versatile it is if you have a change of plans during your lazy days. Although, I prefer leggings over jeans because they are less constricting for sitting at a desk or lounging.

Your work at home outfit is much more put together than mine! I typically just wear a tank top and a pair of norts with my adorable little sheep slippers. I'm definitely going to have to look into those pink slippers, though!
I'm really into the current sweatpants-as-pants trend. I have a great pair by splendid and another by current/elliott, both made in the USA. SO COMFY. They can be dressed up a bit with a button up and wedges, or I just wear them with a tee and comfy sandals!
I love that you posted this with the tshirt.. Because I have that exact tshirt!! I love reading about how you styled it. And I got some good tips, too- seriously obsessed with your slippers. Love!
Not really in the mood to be in photos right now, but I keep telling myself I’ll want to look back on these moments and remember them. (Right?!) when I look at these photos in 10, 20, 30 years…
I hope I remember Jack “rescuing” Rory from a windy tent, not how I stood in front of my closet with tears in my eyes.
I hope I remember watching Jack roll down hills and play hop scotch and scoot down the sidewalk with his besties, not that I caught a glimpse of my reflection and didn’t recognize myself.
I hope I remember sitting outside with my friend happily watching our kids play (while watching the minutes until bedtime tick by), and not that I spent too much time zooming in and examining every new wrinkle on my face.
I hope I remember the pure joy of these early warm days with my little family whom I love so much 🤍
The weather is warming up and I’m feeling slightly more comfortable in my skin every day ☀️ Here’s what I wore last week as a mom of two. I have a two and a half year old toddler and a two month old so I need outfits I feel good in, can chase a little guy around in, AND that I can breastfeed easily while wearing. 🔗 Leave a comment with “OUTFITS” to get links to every outfit I wore!
This room is so very special 🤍 The little cars sprinkled everywhere (watch your step!). A tiny sock, never two, peeled off and tucked somewhere hidden away. Piles of books that grow almost as quickly as the little boy who sleeps here. Outgrown pants and shoes to grow into mingling in the closet. Often messy, and a little cluttered, but a little boy lives here. 🚘☀️🐶📚🧸
(Rory is still in our room, but eventually the boys will share. I can picture their little twin beds already!)
About ten days ago, I noticed that today’s forecast was looking WARM. I told Mike, “We’re walking into town and sitting outside and I’m getting a beer. Put it on your calendar.” It ended up being warmer than forecasted (almost eighty degrees!) and let me tell you, it delivered. Today felt like the beginning of The Season™: dinners al fresco, beers/fries/ice creams, and late bedtimes. Indulging in it all because the kids are only getting older and we’re the grownups (somehow) and we get to make the rules ✌🏻

@pennylinndesigns and I hosted a “learn to needlepoint” class this past weekend and it was everything ✨ Needlepoint has been such a bright spot in my life over the past five years- and it’s gotten me through some difficult times. Because it’s helped me so much, sharing this hobby with others has turned into a mini life mission of mine. To sit in a room (my beautiful office space designed by @clare.sull!) with pro stitchers and needlepoint newbies alike was one of my dreams come true. I loved seeing women chatting, meeting, and bonding over this beautiful craft 🪡 Honestly, the needlepoint world is (sadly) filled with a lot of gatekeeping and competitiveness; this weekend proved that it doesn’t have to- and shouldn’t- be this way! It’s for EVERYONE. Whether you’ve never picked up a canvas in your life or you’re working on heirloom stockings for your family, there’s room for everyone at this table.
📍 Leave a comment saying “needlepoint” and I’ll send you my go-to resources for getting started with needlepoint!
Motherhood is pure JOY to me– nothing makes me happier than being with my boys! I wear my @haverhillcollection personalized jewelry every day as a symbol of my love for them– it’s a constant reminder for me of my greatest purpose. To celebrate my first Mother’s Day with TWO boys, I sent in my Haverhill necklace to add Rory’s birthstone and initial alongside Jack’s! I also got a second bracelet to stack with Jack’s. Love that this personalized jewelry can be altered as our family grows. Haverhill’s jewelry is designed to be lived in (perfect for busy moms!) made from solid 14k gold with high-quality birthstones so I never have to take it off to exercise, shower, or sleep. Use code MOTHERSDAY15 for 15% off!
We got a mama-approved family photo of the four of us 👏🏻 I wasn’t really paying attention to our calendar while in the end of pregnancy/newborn bubble and realized quite late that Jack had some time off from daycare and preschool this week. Mike and I quickly decided to book a last minute trip to Florida to visit my family and enjoy the warm weather ☀️

Oh man I need to send this to my sister! XD
Slippers!! It's usually too hot for those here, but they are so adorable!

Great post! My mom works from home and we joke about her wearing comfortable "chic" outfits such as stylish sweats!

Skinny jeans are the best thing ever invented, I would keep it above phones and internet. May be a little too much, but you get my point! 😛
Looks comfy & casual without looking too laid back. Perfect!
