Hi friends!
I decided this morning that I’d take part in an Instagram style challenge #stayhomeready by @iamjoellen and figured I would play along on the blog too so I could share a few more of the pics, as well as have it documented here (Instagram is fun but my true love is blogging!)
It’s probably the easiest style challenge out there as the idea is simply to motivate people to still make the effort to get dressed out of their PJ’s or trackies and into normal clothes (and do their makeup if that’s your thing) so that, despite these unusual times when a lot of us are not leaving the house, we can still feel and look good!
Just “getting dressed” is not normally something that would be counted as a “challenge”, but in these days of quarantine and isolation, sometimes we need a little more of a push to make the effort to get properly dressed and look presentable!
I know that for me, on the days I do make a bit more of an effort, I feel SO much better, more productive and just seem to have a much more positive day! Of course there are days (particularly as a Mum!!) when we want to stay in our trackies, and that is totally fine, but after a while it can start to get you feeling a bit “blah”. Getting dressed is such a small thing but it can really help with our mindset and mental health!
So here’s my #ootd for Day 1 of the challenge - a super simple and still comfy outfit, but one that feels a lot more put together than the trackies and old t-shirt I was in yesterday!
This shirt from & Other Stories is one of my favourites, not only because I love the colour and print but also because I bought it while on our honeymoon in Bologna and it brings back great memories. Paired with these khaki pants, it was a relaxed, casual look - comfy enough for just hanging out at home but also pulled together enough to help me feel good and ready for the day!
Anyone feel like joining in? If you feel like sharing on Insta just use the hashtag #stayhomeready and tag @iamjoellen (and me too @laurennatalia.co if you like - I’d love to see your outfits!)
Lots of Love
Lauren
