Favourites: Work from Home Wardrobe Essentials

My favourite part about working from home has to be the dresscode. I try to get dressed every day, not staying in pj's, but that doesn't stop me from throwing on leggings & a cute top or the all-in-one wonder that is a romper. Here are a few favourites from the past year!

I can't stop wearing Old Navy compression leggings. I bought them last spring for our trip to London, so that I could avoid compression socks on the long flight. They are so so comfortable, everything is sucked in, they have cute details like mesh or moto designs, and they go great with any long sweater or tunic style top. I bought 3 pairs and the pair above are my favourite (click on photo for Old Navy link). 

Jumpsuits are my work from home jam. A whole outfit with only one decision. So comfy. Philip hates them, but I think has slowly worn down. The above is from Joe Fresh, as my absolute favourite at Old Navy is no longer available and this looks very similar. I also don't see it online, but in Superstore Joe Fresh locations I've been eyeing a blush jumpsuit with pockets and a white drawstring....it will come home with me one day. 

In case you haven't gathered, I'm a bit addicted to Old Navy. I own two of these jersey swing dresses, and they are so comfortable and look super cute with leggings. My main goal in life is to feel like I'm wearing pajamas but look put together, so this dress, some compression leggings, and a fun lip colour do the job. 

Last but not least, Old Navy & Joe Fresh and any other stores I might shop at are definitely examples of fast fashion. In the name of not creating so much waste (and saving some bucks), I'm a huge fan of Style Encore. My sister-in-law took me the first time and I went in fully planning on being there for moral support, but not buy any used clothing. I quickly bought 9 items and never looked back. There's a location on Nairn here in Winnipeg and it is the best place to find new items for your closet at a discount, and save something from a landfill. The swing dress above, I bought my first at Old Navy, and found a 2nd one at Style Encore in another print for less than half the price of the first. With the holidays coming up, I can't recommend it highly enough as a locale for dresses! We only wear them once or twice in a lot of cases, so you can expect them to be in great shape as they were sold by someone who maybe wore them once for a special occasion. I love getting a dress there for a work event, I often see the same people again and again for these receptions and might not want to wear the same dress each time, this is a budget friendly way to stock up my work dresses and easily donate them when I'm done without feeling guilty about the dollars. Let me know what you find!
