While one of the few silver linings of this new stay at home living is being able to wear your comfiest clothes for 3 days straight, sometimes we have to dress up. As the weeks go by, we’re adapting more life events than ever to an online environment. And this means we need specific online outfits.

When you’re home, it’s hard to get dressed up for an event that you will be attending from the comfort of your own bedroom. The trick, I’ve found, is to keep your comfort on the bottom and dress it up at the top. (Think comfy jeans, sweats, leggings or shorts on the bottom.)

But at the same time I do want to look cute.
