Dressing for Shelter in Place

It’s a whole new world right now, isn’t it? Everyone is spending more and more time at home to protect ourselves, our loved ones, and the community.  In the San Francisco Bay Area we’ve even been called to Shelter in Place, and this new daily reality creates some new wardrobe needs.

This outfit above, from my previous NIC + ZOE post, will come in handy when the weather is a little warmer!

Athleisure

I never got on the athleisure bandwagon.  Athleisure just didn’t seem to fit anywhere exactly in my life and frankly I found it a little boring.  Well, only a couple of days staying at home and I’m eating my words.  Now I know what many of you stay-at-home-moms, retirees, and work-from-homers already knew:  athleisure is something you can put on in the morning and wear all day!  I want an outfit that is comfortable enough for working from home, stretchy enough for yoga, and presentable enough for a dog walk or a quick grocery run … in other words, athleisure!

I have a few things of course.  Some great leggings from Ruti, a few pieces from Chico’s Zenergy collection, miscellaneous hoodies and lots of sneakers!  But now it’s time to build up my athleisure wardrobe. I started today by ordering these classic Adidas track pants.  I’ll let you know how those work out.

Here are some other pieces I found online today that I thought my readers might like …

Now Friends, I need your help and ideas! What are you wearing around the house these days? I’d love to hear your athleisure tips and suggestions … favorite brands, ways to wear, anything!  Please do share in the comments!

And stay healthy & well.

Best to you all always,

Dawn Lucy
