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!
I have been calling myself a Chill Mom™️ since having Jack and now I’m realizing that I’m even chiller with Rory. (Like is birth order really less about sibling order and more about the version of mom you’re born to?) I’ve been just rolling with Rory’s infancy and I’m so much happier. Maybe it’s just that I’m more tired with a toddler too, or know that it’s going to go by so fast, or just have more confidence… probably a combination. I feel less obsessive and less stressed out by the details. I’m “making it” without having to fake it. As an example, today I noticed I hadn’t tracked a single nap- just watching sleepy cues and trying to get to a “good enough” pattern as Rory’s naps consolidate. Is he following a ~perfect~ nap schedule? No. Are we thriving? Frankly, yes!
(If you want to read my original Chill Mom post, comment “chill mom” and l’ll send it to you via DM!)
We came, we saw elephants, we ate ice cream 🐘🦒🦓 @ashleybrooke and I always talk about how we became FAST friends. Somehow we have been right there with each other during some of life’s worst moments… so it’s extra sweet that we now get to celebrate the good ones! Watching our boys play together, a little baby in a stroller, and another baby on the way… it’s everything we dreamed of.
Somehow yesterday felt like a week, last month was last year, and last year was a decade ago… but then time is simultaneously going by so fast too. The past ten weeks have gone by in a blink! Everyone warns you it goes by fast and they’re not wrong…. The days are long but oh how I wish time would slow down a bit? Or that maybe I could bottle up a tiny bit of these precious boys at every stage so I could revisit them down the road 🤍
I have grown to LOVE baby wearing. Not only do I think it’s such a nice and cozy way to bond with baby, it’s also incredibly practical, especially when you have a toddler to keep up with too! The @wildbird aerial carrier was a treat for myself- and I’m so obsessed with it. 👶🏼 Leave a comment “wildbird” and I’ll DM you the color I have as well as my personal review of it (including some troubleshooting tips).
Some top level things I like; - it’s easy to put on! - it’s so, so comfortable (for me AND baby!) - the little flap is seamless and provides extra support while baby naps and privacy when we need/want it
This affordable rechargeable LED lamp is cute and then made even cuter with this wicker lampshade! 💡✨ No cords needed- just charge and place wherever you want. (Will be extra perfect for dining outdoors this summer!) 💫 Comment “lamp” and I’ll send you links to the LED lamp ($38 for a pair!) and the lampshade (available in a few styles- including a darling blue).
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!

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!
