This spring and summer, plaid is trending even though it is commonly thought of as a Fall print. Think of it as yet another rule broken in order to create something new. Plaid is not too far off from gingham, so it actually makes some sense when you think about it. In their spring shows, designers have used plaid in lightweight materials in jumpsuits, dresses, tops, skirts, shorts, pants, shoes, bags, etc. You could even try plaid nail art! And a plaid flannel shirt is still wearable in the spring or summer as a jacket for chilly situations. So check out my style tips and outfit ideas for how to wear plaid spring and summer!

Working from home (WFH) means we get to dress comfortably. We can wear lounge clothes, athflow, athleisure or even business casual if it helps to motivate us. Many times, WFH means we need to look good from the waist up for online meetings and it doesn’t matter what we’re wearing from the waist down. It seems to me that’s where some of the new fashions are coming from. Many of the fashions inspired by post-2020 lifestyle are a combination of dressed-up clothes mixed with dressed-down clothes. So that’s something to keep in mind when figuring out how to create nice work from home outfits. Choose something comfy and pair it with something dressy, or vice versa. That way, you have style and comfort at the same time. And in my mind, that’s a key goal when getting dressed!

Whether you’re working at home or relaxing on weekends, you can still look good — even when no one’s looking. Just for you…your true self…body, mind and soul…to be comfortable and beautiful. So I’m going to share with you my ideas on how to look cute when you’re just lounging around. Age doesn’t matter.
Since I’ve been working at home writing a fashion blog, I don’t need to get dressed for work anymore. I’m around the house a lot. And, of course, I just want to be comfortable. It’s time to dress down.
Yet I still like to play with colors, scarves are my signature piece, and I like to add a cool piece of jewelry or more. As always, I don’t like to wear the same thing twice; I like to create endless combinations of what I have. Yet I have some favorite combos, such as a tunic with skinnies or a maxi with a t-shirt. And the best thing is: I love my jeans.
What do you wear when you’re just hanging around the house? Do you wear sweats or jeans and a tee? Are you tired of the same old thing and feel like you’re ready for some new inspiration? Do you want to look great while you lounge in comfort?
Well then, let’s explore:
