Nancy Pelosi On Top Carole Baskin On The Bottom
I have worked remotely for a fair amount in my career. On days I don’t have meetings, it is really easy to stay in my PJ’s or sweats. I have found I do better at my job and feel confident if I am somewhat put together. This doesn’t mean full makeup and pantyhose for fucks sake, but just a little something just in case I had to jump on a video call I wouldn’t look so horrendous. Well...since Covid-19 has struck, a lot of this has gone to shit. I am doing the very best I can to work my full time job, stay in touch with friends and family, keep my kid educationally busy, do the meal planning, laundry, discipline, managing screen time, snacks, potty breaks, take care of my two big needy dogs, all while keeping a smile on my face until my husband gets home. I would say my working attire has come to Nancy Pelosi on top and Carole Baskin on the bottom. Classy as fuck. With all of the recent unexpected challenges we face, I am hoping I can help highlight some ways to be comfortable, professional, sexy, and not turning into The Dude, Floyd from True Romance (aka HOT young Brad Pitt), or Erica the Klepto in Florida Girls.
Here are some ideas of how to keep it together while working from home or stuck at home chasing your kid with a White Claw in your hand.

A few suggestions from our friends at Mapel Boutique:
Conference Call Cutie:
The goal is to make your look seem put together and effortless even if you just cleaned peanut butter and syrup off the walls, the dogs, and yourself minutes before. You don’t want to overdo it at this point since everyone else is in the same boat. Throw on some soft leggings, a simple tank that doesn’t look like pajamas (but feels like it) and a casual blazer or cardigan to tie it all up. Or you can do a casual tee, throw on a long necklace, a simple gloss, and maybe some glasses to hide the fact your lash extensions are few and far between. Whatever you do, don't walk away from the screen if you are wearing undies, you’d be surprised how much that actually happens.
Tops : Soft, flattering, but still something you can take a nap in. These tops pair well with a scarf, blazer, cardigan or just a necklace when you are doing a Zoom meeting. Remember…the brighter the colors the less tired and hungover you appear (Thanks to Carolyn’s advice).
Cardigans/Blazers: Something to throw over as you rock this pulled together on the top, and comfy on the bottom look while you work from home.
Bottoms: These can be as casual and comfy as you would like. As long as your job doesn’t include you drawing on a whiteboard or doing a dance move…you can totally pull of wearing these party bottoms while being fancy on the top.
Virtual Happy Hour with Yo Girls and Family:
Let’s be real. Y’all ain’t sprucing it up to have a Zoom or House Party Happy hour, but you also don’t want to worry your friends and family. Here are some fun items to get in the party mood!
SLAY the Weekend!
Weekends are pretty much during the week, but at least you don’t have to be worried about work if you aren’t currently unemployed (SUCKS!). Here are some awesome shit to get you cozy and somewhat dressed if you need to head to the store or accept your wine delivery from your guy at Dobbes.
Keepin’ it Sassy and Sexy!
Well…as much as you can after being around your partner nonstop for more days than you can count. Wait…what day is it? If you don’t feel like shaving throw on some control leggings, cute camis, sexy bralettes under a tank or over the shoulder tee, and even though we aren’t wearing much makeup…keep your lips sweet and kissable.
We are in this together! Weather you are a mom with kids, single and stuck inside doing virtual dating, or just a young gal layin around with your partner…I hope this helps you keep it together as much as you can.
