I was wondering what my friends go-to quarantine 'fits look like, so I asked
I have lost all track of time, there are no days of the week anymore, and I think we're all ready for the world to be back up and running. During the past few weeks, I have wondered what everyone is really up to. Does anyone else wear shoes around the house to feel more productive? Is anyone still wearing jeans? Who is actually putting on an outfit in the morning?
I ended up asking my friends to send me a photo of their go-to quarantine outfit along with a personal quote of how they're managing these weird quarantimes. I geeked at the responses, cute-ed out by their faces and the idea that everyone is basically doing a version of the same thing. It's a comforting feeling realizing that you aren't the only one who is drinking wine every night and living in the same cozy sweatpants. I hope their responses make you feel a little less alone and maybe even give you some at-home outfit inspo. Shout out to my friends for participating, you guys all look real cute.
"Stay connected with people. Your co-workers, your friends, your family. Whether it’s texts, calls, FaceTime, Zoom, however you decide to do it, make sure you are! Anytime I need a little break I’ll get outside and go for a walk and make sure to call someone to check in. Oh & make sure to have plenty of coffee throughout the day to help you with all of it!!!” - Lauren Skertich

"I escaped to my grandparents’ beach house to quarantine with the fam so my go-to look is all about comfort and ease. Messy hair, no makeup, and my birks. Perfect for chillin, baking, and walking the beach - which are the only things keeping me sane right about now." -Nicole Agner
