Under $20 Fashion Finds to add a little spice to your Work from Home life

April 16, 2020

I know that we’re technically working from home (if we’re working at all!) and it doesn’t really matter what we wear, but I had a moment the other day when I went to put on the same old ratty t-shirt and sweats yet again and I just wanted to cry. No surprise, I’m seriously lacking in the informal wear department because in non-Covid times I basically go to work, go to dance or stay home in my PJs. I’m not wanting to spend even a penny right now and I certainly don’t want to invest in an entire leisurewear wardrobe, but I got a 20% off code from ASOS this weekend and down the rabbit hole I went. All told, I spent $28 on three new items that filled my heart with a brief dose of consumerist joy that I want to share with you all.

Oh, and if you’re wanting to head over to ASOS to do a little shopping of your own, here’s an affiliate link for you to get 15% off your first order. If you buy something, I’ll get 15% off too. I’m trying to shift to more sustainable fashion, but I will always love ASOS because they are so size-inclusive and always have been.

First up is this simple light sweater for $13. I want to live in this every single day. Let’s be honest, I definitely will…

I also love this little baby blue number. So soft, so simple, but I feel like the flutter sleeve brings a lil’ somethin’ to the party. $4.50!

Last, but certainly not least, Tie Dye! I’m doing it. My teenage self is mortified that I am dipping my toes in these waters. I thought: I’ll get a SUPER oversized t-shirt, like a men’s XXL so it can be all loose and flowy and maybe I’ll just wear the t-shirt by itself like a dress a la the Kardashians. And then it came and it fit me like a normal shirt and I laughed and realized that sizing is totally whack, but I still dig the shirt.

Thanks for letting me share my mirror selfies with you all. I’m seriously happy to have a couple of new items to wear these days. It’s the little things that brighten the day-to-day.

Do you have any fun work from home clothes? Please feel free to share your favorite resources in the comments! I’m all about it…

Thank you

On this beautiful Saturday, I wanted to pop in and say thank you, truly madly deeply, from the bottom of my heart.

Thank you for reading here.

Thank you for allowing me to freak out with excitement over my new juicing hobby.

Thank you to whoever it was that used my Girlfriend Collective affiliate link and gave me a free pair of leggings that I wore today as I danced around my living room to Samar’s shimmy pop class. Spending even $20 on myself is hard these days, so having an amazing new pair of leggings that came from you all is something I will cherish forever.

Thanks for giving me this space to share my love for food and for cooking the recipes I share.

Thanks for letting me use this space to process my pain.

Thanks for giving me the chance to pursue that small voice in my heart calling me to writing. Being here has lit up my entire existence again. I feel hopeful about the future and just completely full of joy.

How do you even begin to thank someone for that kind of gift?

xoxo,

The internet is a wild and beautiful place. Let’s peruse her together this lovely Friday. 

not without salt recipe

The images of this Chocolate Peanut Butter Bouche de Noel with Salted Peanut Caramel from Not Without Salt stopped me in my tracks this morning. Isn’t it gorgeous? I admit, I will probably never make such an involved recipe, but I’d love to eat it!

My friend got a puppy this week. I DIED when I saw this picture of his ears. How cute is he???

On my commute this week, I rocked out to some old school Kanye. Perhaps my favorite Kanye songs ever is Get ‘Em High, especially because of the Common and Talib features. I was seriously blasting this barreling down the freeway and it made me deliriously happy.

Did you read the Beyoncé article in Elle? I just love that woman and can’t wait to buy some Ivy Park. I agree with her that your creativity is your power. I can’t believe how much my life has improved since I’ve been creative again with this blog.

That’s all I’ve got this week. The new job kept me on my toes this week with limited internet time. Do you have any great links to share?
