My Favorite At-Home Outfit Formulas

Picture

​Unless I am sick (like January’s 3-week monster flu), I don't wear the same thing during the day that I slept in the night before. Even if I am staying at home, I feel better if I change from one thing to another.


But I have chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia, so there are lots of days when I don't feel like getting completely dressed, either. 

What do you wear on those days?

I usually choose loungewear or pjs, and add a sweater.

My Favorite Homebody Outfit Formulas

One of my favorites is an idea I got from the year-round capsule wardrobe guide for moms that I got last year. I use a loungewear dress, instead of one I’d wear out, but the idea came from the book and it's one I really like.

I get to combine orange and red, which really brightens my day. It’s a fuzzy comfy orange button down cardigan that I wear with a red loungewear dress and fuzzy orange-and-red socks. This dress is midi length, but I also have a knee-length grey one, and two ankle length ones. 

So I have a small loungewear capsule wardrobe that really makes those days more cozy and fun.

The casual mom capsule wardrobe guide is designed to help you create outfits that are comfy enough to wear at home, but that you can easily leave the house in, too. The idea behind it is to upgrade your daily uniform so that you feel more confident and presentable each day.

But I believe it's also perfect for homebody homeschool moms like me who spend several days a week at home with no particular place to go (as the song says).

Check it out here, if you're interested.

And let me know in a comment what you like to wear on days when you know you won't be leaving home.

See you next time!

Love, Jeanine

A Favorite Outfit Formula Variation

Outfit Formula Idea: A Variation

Picture
I got a great outfit formula idea for a from the year-round capsule wardrobe guide for moms that I got several months ago.

And I am determined to make this work for summer, once I can find a few of the sleeveless tops.

I was only wearing v-necks until this outfit idea caught my eye. It was a collared, button down top worn with a sweater and a pair of leggings or jeans. Well, I had two tops like that and wore them in the spring and summer, but never with anything else.

I immediately tried it with a duster and LOVED it!

Well, one of the suggested capsule wardrobe items for summer is a sleeveless version of this top, and if I can find one or two, I am thinking I may be able to pair it with my two shorter-sleeved dusters. That wardrobe guide has hundreds of outfit formulas and each season, I have gotten some great ideas to try. 

​Go check it out if you're wanting some outfit inspiration.

See you tomorrow!

Love, Jeanine

What are Your Favorite Outfit Formulas?

Do you have a favorite outfit formula that you find yourself reaching for again and again when your getting dressed? 

Maybe you have more than one! You may know exactly what makes these outfit formulas your favorites, or you may just know that when you wear them, you love the way you look, feel more confident & get more compliments from others.
​

My Favorite Outfit Formula

Picture
Hands down, the outfit formula I reach for most often, that I consider a sort of daily uniform, is a duster cardigan with a v-neck pullover tee shirt, a pair of leggings and matching flats. It is the ensemble I love most and feel most confident about wearing.

I only wish our summers, here, weren't so beastly hot, because during the months of July, August & September, I often have to leave the duster cardigans behind. Sigh.

On the hottest days, what I wear instead is v-neck plus leggings and statement earrings. Mind you, I do have a short sleeve duster and one that has ¾ sleeves, but during the hottest days, I can't manage those either.

Summer Duster Solution

But I do love dusters and tomorrow, I’ll tell you an idea I plan to try this summer to see if I can sneak them into those scorching months occasionally.

See you tomorrow!

    ​Hi, I'm Jeanine Byers :)

    I'm an author,  Christian image consultant, proud former homeschool boy mom of a college student, Hallmark movie fan and big cuppa tea drinker. 

    I believe that creating your signature style is a spiritual calling. It's about seeing yourself as God does and delighting in your own beauty and style.

    I'm specializing in color analysis and signature style for black women.

    As women of color, we often aren't analyzed correctly when we receive color analysis. And all of our lives, we have been given sometimes subtle, and sometimes more overt societal messages about not meeting the cultural standards of beauty.

    My mission is to help you discover, embrace and celebrate your own beauty and style. 

    Thanks for dropping by! I'll see you soon.

    Love, Jeanine
