Unnecessary But Cute: 25 Things I'm Buying to Look Good While Working From Home
At this point in my life, there really isn't an article of clothing I "need" anymore. Just ask my roommate. But that doesn't mean I don't go off the rails every now and again and engage in a massive shopping frenzy. Usually, the items I end up buying are unnecessary but cute, and today, I'm going to share the 25 that made the cut. Do I need any of the items ahead? No, I don't. But can I live without them? Honestly, I'm not sure.
Since most of us are currently spending time at home, I decided that for this round of "unnecessary but cute," I'm going to focus on items I am buying to feel more put together while working from home. I am lucky enough to have the privilege of continuing my work from the comfort of my own home, but even if that is not the case for you, it's my hope that mindlessly scrolling through a few cozy staples will help you to feel a little better amidst this odd time our world is in.
The only "styling" I will be doing while WFH is putting this anklet over my tube socks.
The seams on these have officially convinced me that yes, I do need more black leggings.
These are the linen pajamas I am wearing at home now but plan on wearing over a swimsuit later.
Wear this with sweats to feel a tad more polished.
Honestly, buying expensive boxers have never seemed like a better idea.
If I am going to wear jeans while being home, they're going to be loose ones.
Slipping this over a bralette with sweatpants will be the most fire outfit I wear while in quarantine.
If there was ever a time to invest in good-quality undergarments, it's now.
Wear this set and you'll be the most stylish human in your household.
When you're tired of wearing leggings but still want to wear leggings.
Last but not least, sweatpants that are more stylish than any pair of real pants I own.
Next up, have some fun shopping the seven best emerging fashion brands to know about this year.
