What I wore:
Shorts: Jeanswest Sara distressed hot short
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Why I wore it:
Simple shorts and tee outfit for a hot day! I had a zoom call with some Insta ladies in the morning that was fun, before I had to quickly sign off when a tradie arrived at the house. We had a driveway visit from people with gifts for the boys as well. It was so funny, me asking them if the boys could come out the house (to stand 1.5 meters apart of course!) and them asking us if we were okay with that! We are all figuring out social distancing still.It had been a bit of a stressful week with working at home and looking after the kids, so I was really looking forward to this day where I didn't have to work and could just teach the kids and relax and play together. Hubby went and did the grocery run too so I didn't have to deal with that stress!
Last worn: coca cola logo tee, black denim shorts, Havaianas.
Other ways to wear: coca cola logo tee worn two ways, black denim shorts and kimono.
The Bag I Would Be Wearing If I Wasn't At Home:
If I wasn't at home all day I think I'd be wearing this cute little Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery bag with these outfits! I miss wearing my handbag collection, but aside from the two bags I was using when the new social distancing / stay at home rules came into effect I've left my bags untouched in their cupboard. I don't see the point in getting them out just to snap a pic and put them back away!
What I wore:
Tee: Atmos&Here navy stripe v-neck tee
Shorts: thrifted Jeanswest distressed denim shorts
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Why I wore it:
Wore this to work from home. I've mentioned before that I've stopped wearing necklaces outside - I like to play with them when I'm wearing them and frequently touch them - not a good idea when I'm out grocery shopping and touching all the things and then transferring that to my necklaces! But for a day at home I figured I could accessorise a little. Both the boys and I like playing with this necklace!My mother in law came over for a visit - despite the "stay at home unless essential visits" rules and my in laws being in the at risk category. I did try protest. We are following all the advice and staying home, as are all of my side of the family, except those who are the real heroes, the essential workers.
Kept it simple with the striped tee and denim shorts - easy and comfortable and a bit more appropriate for having someone over than the pyjamas I wore to work from home the day before 😂
Last worn: navy stripe tee, stone pendant necklace, distressed denim shorts, Havaianas (above).
Other ways to wear: navy stripe tee and olive shorts, distressed denim shorts and kimono.
Perfect for pregnancy: navy stripe tee in third trimester.

Mica, your Coca Cola tee shirt takes me way back to childhood! They were so popular in the 80’s. I love it! Such a cute outfit. And how great that you had driveway visitors! We have to find creative ways to stay connected, for sure. I am still having the same problem with linking up as well.

Sorry you missed out!
DeleteYes, this social distancing thing is hard. To look for a silver lining, I think that after this isolation situation we will start to appreciate each other company more. The little things in life like hugging a friend- I'm starting to really miss them.
ReplyDeleteYou look lovely in your striped tees and shorts combo. It has started to get warmer here. This week we will have another period of cold and cool weather but I think after that, it will get really hot really fast. Have a nice week!
Yes I miss hugs with friends and family too!
DeleteIt's not so warm here yet but I like to wear t shirts and jeans while I'm at home!
ReplyDeleteA driveway visit is such a great idea! Love your coca-cola tee! Stay healthy and safe!

Striped tees are such a classic look that's perfect for lounging or dressing up! Love the coca-cola one!

It's interesting how we are all trying to figure out what social distancing means to each other and what people are comfortable with. I feel like going into week 4.5 of this people around here seem to have it figured out for the most part. Although, it's getting tiresome to be honest. How old are your children? It's difficult working from home and helping them with online school, although I feel like having toddlers at a time like this would be much more difficult. Love that red bag. One day soon, I hope you get to take it out for a stroll through the city.
ReplyDeletebosbodaciousblog.blogspot.ca
With two toddlers at home I definitely agree it makes things much more difficult! Haha! It is nice having that extra time with them though :)
DeleteOh I love stripes, tees, pull overs, sweaters you name it. Both these tees are super cute and what is even better is pairing a striped tee with a red bag! Love!

Loving these outfits, Mica! I have a Coca-Cola shirt from a long time ago that I bought at the Las Vegas store, and I've cherished it ever since. It's so soft and comfy!
ReplyDeleteThat was so sweet of your hubby! Grocery shopping isn't the most fun right now.
I hope all is well with you, and wishing you the best week ahead!

That first shirt was so nice! I love Coca-Cola :) hehehe
ReplyDeletehttps://villemo20.blogspot.com/
What a great little striped tee! I definitely need to get a striped logo tee. And that little red bag is such a pretty one - it'd look perfect with the Coca Cola shirt. I'd never really thought about wearing jewelry and then touching it when out it public after handling everything else. There are so many things to remember not to do (or to do) ... I wonder how this will affect us after the restrictions are lifted? I see others are having the same problem I had with photos when trying to link. I think what I had to do was to downsize the photo and copy it from my Blog folder rather than from the website. I'm not sure which one of those two things helped. At any rate, I didn't have any new posts to put into the linkup so I just did the last fashion one. Hopefully this week I'll have another. Thanks for doing the linkups! I hope you had a beautiful Easter and that you have a safe and healthy week. I think I'm going to take another day off work this week....I'm loving those!

I'm glad you were able to link up! :) Yes this virus really has me rethinking my wardrobe, so strange the different ways we think now!
DeleteA graphic tee and shorts seems perfect for volleying between working from home and keeping an eye on your boys inside and out in your yard! Glad they have a place to play outside. Also, thank you for your nice comments on my blog. Have a good week and stay safe and well!
ReplyDeleteYes I'm so glad we finished building last year so they have a big yard to run around in!

It's such a blessing that we've had great weather at both sides of the globe, you enjoying an Indian Summer and we a gorgeously sunny Spring. Being cooped up inside on a rainy day will be so much harder, so let's enjoy the fine weather as long as it lasts. Your easy short and tee outfits are perfect for staying at home, and I'd never thought about the necklace thing, so thanks for the reminder! Stay safe, Mica! xxx
ReplyDeleteYes it's been nice to take advantage of the warm weather while we are at home!
DeleteOh my gosh, that Coke shirt is so cute! I always love Coke memorabilia (in fact, my husband and I collect older Coke items) so this made me smile. You always look fabulous! I hope you have a wonderful week.

We have 2 meters for distancing here, and absolutely no one visiting inside the house. We've been able to see a few people by meeting at a neutral place, and I'm planning on bussing out to see my mom tomorrow - she's been so lonely for the past 6 weeks. I can't go in her home, though - I'll be viewing from her yard.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to see you in your casual outfits! Glad you're still getting hot weather. I was saying to someone, "Imagine if this had hit in September/October or later...cancelling Hallowe'en, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's." We are lucky to be getting it now.
It's nice you have been able to see friends and family, even at a distance! They have lifted the restrictions now so we are able to visit our family which is nice!
DeleteI love your Coca Cola tee!!!

Striped tees are always a good idea, in my opinion! I'm a little bit jealous of your hot weather, it's not yet warm enough for shorts here in Seattle, but I'm hoping that it will be soon.

I'm glad your temps are staying so nice! It makes a difference to be able to play outside and have lovely weather when you aren't allowed to really go anywhere else. I've been living in leggings and joggers. At least you are wearing cute outfits! Once the cold windy weather is out of the way, I hope to get to that place too!
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely been only a couple of times a week I've actually dressed up in proper clothes, haha!
DeleteStripped shirts and shorts are a perfect combo for our lives at home. I'm wearing something very similar myself now too. I'm surprised that your in-laws came to visit you. I hope that they will be more careful next time and stay in contact with you online. Have a lovely day.

These outfits are great for staying at home and still looking presentable, Mica:) I really should try making an effort, but my skin is thanking me for not having to wear makeup everyday :D And as the others have said, it's great that your weather at least is quite nice. It's snowing here again...sigh...light but still....
ReplyDeleteStay safe:)
Yes I don't know what to do with my makeup - I suspect it will be all dried out by the time we do get back to the office, haha! (I only really wear it to the office!)
DeleteThis is the perfect outfit formula when working from home like you do. But I really know how stressful it must be for you working and looking after the kids at the same time ... I think your mother in law had obviously the longing to see you ... Stay healthy!

I love my basic striped tees! These are perfect at home outfits for that kind of climate. It's only about 10/11c here still so I'm still in cosy jumpers most of the time right now. We had one day last week where it was randomly 20c but it went back to 9c the next day. No sign of summer weather for us just yet! x

so true! I wear mostly shorts and tees now with that lockdown. I am sad for not needing a bag really.
