Welcome to
Weekday Wardrobe, a collection through which one Who What Put on editor or
staffer will snap a pic of their 9-to-5 look each day and break
down the place you possibly can store all of it to encourage your personal everyday
type.

I’m not going to lie: I get a bit jealous of all my
associates who’re selecting to use this lockdown because the time to start out
understanding each day and perfecting their skincare routine, each
in the a.m. and p.m., but truthfully, if I get another text about
Tiger King, I’d truly lose it. I’m a working mom, so that
means in addition to retaining to my regular working schedule, I additionally
have a 1-year-old, who just discovered methods to scream “mama” and
“no” crawling round the home.

Don’t get me fallacious: I’m loving being round my
daughter, Sophie, all day day-after-day, however as soon as the babysitting
shifts are over, mother mode is in full impact and my work isn’t
really over till 8 p.m. when she sleeps. I’ve found one of the simplest ways
for me to feel awake and ready to tackle the day and be productive
both whereas I’m working and once I’m operating around the home
after her is to get dressed every single day as if I have been nonetheless going into
the office. For those who’re also able to shake out of your sweats
(working mother or not), listed here are my 5 WFH outfits to inspire
you.

I
like to start out my week in one thing aside from a sweatshirt, but
as a result of it was a Monday, I minimize myself a break and left on my
leggings. A button-down white shirt is a mainstay in my wardrobe,
and this oversize one is ideal for nonetheless feeling snug
while also wanting put-together for our staff meetings. Oh and I
swapped out my slippers for ballet flats.

For
all my pals reading this, yes, that’s me in a pair of sneakers.
As a result of I give myself a heavier workload on Mondays to get forward
for the week, I’m capable of take brief breaks on Tuesdays to play
with Sophie. She loves to take a seat on our porch and watch the birds fly
by, so my outfit must work for the good outdoor. With a
T-shirt, wide-leg denims, and a comfortable cardi, I nonetheless really feel like I’m
dressed up for the occasion.

On
Wednesdays, we now have a busier schedule. Sophie and I’m going on an extended
stroll round our neighborhood after I’ve wrapped up my conferences.
Not solely does it calm her, nevertheless it provides me a second to get in a
workout and some vitamin D. I obtained these Alo leggings from Nordstrom
last week, they usually principally feel like strolling around with out
pants, which I’m all the time right here for.

At
this level, simply enthusiastic about placing on pants is a tough no for
me, so I like to dress up my look with an oatmeal-colored
turtleneck sweater and a pair of hoops. This sweater has pearl
beading on the neck opening, which feels ultra-chic—a word I
seldom use to describe my outfits now that I’m staying residence.
I’m also nonetheless a huge fan of Ugg boots, so I slip mine on before
I get my day began.

Cozy
is in full impact at our home on Fridays, the day we permit
ourselves to only chill and take a break from our new routine.
Sophie is experiencing a sleep regression, so I haven’t actually
been sleeping both. These eye masks are a bit of luxurious I wish to
add to my routine on Friday mornings with a robust cup of coffee to
finish the week off proper.
