The Best Outfits I Wore This Week

This post may contain affiliate links which won’t change your price but will share some commission. As an Amazon Influencer, I earn from qualifying purchases. Some products might be gifted from brands.

I’ll be honest: since I work from home, a lot of my daily outfits can be lackluster. I wear a lot of leggings, joggers, sweater sets, and jeans, which is not exactly haute couture. My friend pointed out to me that your lifestyle and outfits might be similar, and that I should share the outfits I wore during the week. So, depending on your reactions, we’ll see if this becomes a series.

What I Wore When Traveling

Black Amazon Set
2 Piece Half Zip Sweatshirts And Wide Leg Pants (Medium) | Pearl Crossbody | Nori Pointed Toe Flat (TTS)

When I’m traveling, I like to wear something comfortable. I usually wear jeans or a bottom with an elastic waist so I don’t feel confined. I knew I would be doing a try-on haul on my trip, so I wore this 2-piece sweatshirt and wide leg pants. I wanted an easy-on, easy-off outfit, and this was perfect.

This set is very similar to the SPANX Air Essentials line. I own both items, and honestly, I thought this one was the most flattering.

I carry the Pearl Crossbody a lot when traveling. It has three compartments, making it easier to keep my wallet, phone, lip balms, etc organized. If you were flying, one compartment could be used for passports, tickets, etc.; it’s very handy.

I don’t wear silver jewelry too often, but I thought the silver looked great with the black set. Each year, I get a couple of pieces of jewelry for Christmas. I can grow out of clothing and get tired of handbags, but I always will wear jewelry. I love the size of these earrings; they are the perfect medium size.

Tania Stephens wearing David Yurman bracelets
LAGOS Embrace Bracelet | David Yurman Cable Loop Bracelet | Chain Bracelet w/18kt. Gold | 8K Gold & Sterling Silver Caviar Bead Ring

I have been buying David Yurman for years, but this year, I decided to buy Lagos instead. I love wearing the Embrace Bracelet and Caviar Bead Ring with my other DY pieces.

Tania Stephens wearing leopard print flats

These Leopard Print Pointed Toe Flats are CHIC with a capital C! I love the little bridle bit detail that adds a little more interest.

A Day Spent At The House

Softies Ultra-Soft V-Neck Lounge Set (Large) | High Waist Ankle Slim Straight Leg Jeans (Size 8) | Italian Leather Pointed Bow Flat (TTS) | Italian Leather Convertible Crescent Handwoven Shoulder Bag

I’m always saying that sets are versatile. In this outfit, I’m wearing the V-neck top that is part of the Softies Ultra-Soft Lounge Set. I first heard of this set from Oprah’s Favorite Things post and decided to give it a try. This set is everything I thought it would be and more! I love that they stayed just as soft after washing, which isn’t always the case with a lot of sets.

I paired the top with a pair of comfy Slim Straight Leg Jeans from Kut from the Kloth. I love their jeans because they have a lot of stretch, and I reach for them often. I didn’t leave the house, BUT if I were going to, then I would add the Leather Pointed Bow Flat and Handwoven Shoulder Bag. I love the Cognac color, and both items are ones I use a lot.

Running Out For Errands

Forever Fleece 1/4 Zip Sweatshirt (Medium) | High-rise Denim Trouser (Size 29)  Samba Sneaker (TTS)

I bought this 1/4 Zip Sweatshirt early in the fall, and I don’t know why I haven’t shown it on the blog before. I love the slightly oversized feel of the sweatshirt, and the graphic on the back is great! (You can see it below)

I love the look of these High-rise Denim Trousers. The wide leg style isn’t too wide, and the trouser style hem is a visual interest that gives a dressy look. The only issue with the jeans is that there isn’t much stretch. They are slightly snug. The  Samba Sneaker keep with the sporty, athletic look of the sweatshirt.

Doctor’s Appointment Outfit

Alexandra Blazer in Stretch Linen Blend (Size 10) | Garçon Classic Shirt in Striped Cotton Poplin (Size 10) | Low-rise Denim Trouser (Size 29) | Sandstone Suede Ankle Boots (TTS) | Italian Leather Convertible Crescent Handwoven Shoulder Bag

One of the realities of women our age is that we have more doctor appointments than we would like. Thankfully, I was just going for my yearly Dermatology appointment. Maybe it is my age, but I always dress up for a doctor’s appointment, although from the look of the waiting room, not everyone feels that way.

I have been looking for a good linen blazer for YEARS! I have one I love, but it is so old and ragged that I never wear it anymore. The Stretch Linen Blend blazer is a great weight, and I love the small amount of stretch. However, I’m sending the size 10 back and getting a size 12 instead. I like wearing a blazer with sweaters and prefer a little more room.

I sometimes wear a button up shirt and jeans during the day while working from home. The Striped Cotton Poplin shirt is a classic, and I love the black shadow line on the stripe. (See below)

The name of the Low-rise Denim Trousers is slightly misleading. I don’t consider this to be low-rise at all since they hit right at the belly button. They have a little stretch to them, but not a huge amount. They run true to size, but if you are between sizes, then I suggest sizing up.

What I Wore To A Google Meet and ZOOM Call

2 Pieces Pullover Top and Wide Legs Pants Lounge Set (Medium) | Long Cardigan Sweater (Medium) | Italian Leather Pointed Bow Flat (TTS) | Italian Leather Handwoven Crossbody

I had a couple of meetings this week, so I needed to look presentable. I knew I would end up wearing the same outfit all day long, so I picked something that was comfy. This 2 Piece Pullover and Wide Legs Lounge Set is different with its pleated legs and whip stitch trim. I am always cold, so I added a black Long Cardigan Sweater that is versatile and can be worn with anything.

You might have noticed that I like Quince handbags! The handwoven Italian Leather Crossbody is a perfect size for a crossbody. It is small but can hold all your essentials. It is available in several colors, including a pretty green shade.

The Leather Pointed Bow Flats can be dressed up or down. The Almond color is a pretty neutral that will go with anything and not draw attention to itself. The little bow is a cute detail, though.

Working From Home

Oversized Cardigan Sweater (Medium) | Vintage jersey classic-fit V-neck T-shirt (Large) | High-Rise Flare Jeans (Size 8) | Natural Pointed Toe Flats (TTS)

I told you that I do a lot of comfortable outfits. If the snow and cold weather ever leave, maybe Joe and I will go out to eat. I don’t like to leave the house at night when it is so stinking cold. I’ve had this striped cardigan for several years, and I noticed that they changed it a little this year. The stripes are now wider spaced and go up farther on the cardigan.

I’ve also owned this V-neck T-shirt for years. It washes up nicely and doesn’t pill.

Tania Stephens wearing patch pocket jeans

I’m not a huge fan of patch pockets, but I like these High-Rise Flare Jeans. I love J.Jill jeans and I wear them a lot! These have the trouser hem also, which I love.

I just bought these Pointed Toe Flats from Chicos. I love the Y strap style because it keeps the flats from coming off or moving around. The natural color is versatile and will go with anything.

    Found it!! Finally!

  2. Came back for a second run through this blog. So many good options. I really like the idea of these more casual at home styles. These are definitely my typical go to type outfits. I work with small children and need to be able to move around and not worry about being able to throw the items in the laundry. Please keep this as a series!

    1. I’m glad this post works for you.

  3. I have the black outfit and several have thought it was Spanx. I love how you styled it with the leopard flats. Thanks for sharing these. I work from home part time and you’ve given me incentive to get out of my leggings! Lol

    1. The struggle is real!!! I love wearing leggings, too.

  4. Found it! (finally, lol)

  5. Found it. You hid it well!

  6. Oh, my goodness it’s little! Found it!

  7. I found it!!!
    Love the traveling outfit, the leopard flats, And the jewelry!!!

  8. Found it! I like the game. It’s good to keep your brain challenged. I love seeing what you actually wore on certain days. I would enjoy it if you made it a regular feature.

  9. I hope you consider adding this look from home into your rotation of blog topics. I always enjoy the nice casual look. You are not the only one that dresses for dr appointments 😉

  10. T shirt link does not work

  11. Charlotte W says:

    Your friend was right! This is one of my favorite posts.

    1. Yay!!! I’m so glad you enjoyed the post.

    1. Lol! Sometimes it is hard to find.

  12. LOVE this post! You are super-stylish @ home. Keep these coming please. Can identify w/the list of doctor’s appointments!

  13. Dressing up to go to the doctor, etc., I agree is a holdover from our generation. When I was a little girl, we cleaned house on Saturday mornings and then you dressed nicely to “go to town”. Mother would do her shopping at the dime store and if I behaved, I would sometimes get a tiny bag of malted milk balls from the candy counter or a Little Golden book. The older “blue haired” ladies who worked there would usually have my bag of candy all ready for me. Fond memories!

    1. I love this story! I also love malted milk balls. Lol!

  14. Hi, the oversized cardigan you wore for your “work at home day” is really cute, but the link you included goes to a very different sweater.

    1. It is the updated sweater. I bought mine several years ago, this is their updated version.

  15. Found it!

  33. Leslie Daulton says:

  47. Cynthia C. says:

    Found it!! How much fun!!

  48. Found it!

    I think dressing up for the doctor visit is smart. I believe you will be respected more than if you show up in sweatpants. My humble opinion.

    Another topic- thank you so much for recommending the MAC extended play gigabyte mascara. It is the only mascara that actually stays on for me. THANK YOU!!!

  54. FOUND IT! Not going to lie, I had to go back a second time to find it. 🙂

  55. Found it!
    I really enjoyed today’s email. I’m retired but dress every day and go out to lunch or run errands. I like to look put together.

  56. Found it 🙂. Like the casual post today.

  57. Sharon D’Amico says:

    Found It!!🙋🏻‍♀️

  58. This is the first time that I have left a comment on your blog. I found both smiley faces – the one in the picture made me giggle! I am wearing the same travel set today as I fly south to warmer weather. It’s very comfy and doesn’t wrinkle.

    1. I’m glad you finally made a comment! 😊

  59. Just wanted to say what an exciting game yesterday!!!!!!!!

    Love the working from home outfit

  66. Found it!
    Although I now live in Houston, TX, I grew up in Kingsport, TN, and am a very proud Vol.
    I spent a lot of weekends in the Abington area with a best friend whose grandparents owned a dairy farm.
    I enjoy your blog for many reasons, but it also gives me a daily dose of “home.”

  67. Stephanie says:

    Found it!
    I love the tan convertible bag from Quince. I’ve been eyeing it for a while. Might need to have my husband give it to me for our anniversary. LOL

    1. That would be a great anniversary present!

  68. You look great in every one of the outfits! The leopard flats are super cute and so is the oversized cardigan. I own the Quince black crossbody. I added a tassel to mine that I bought on Amazon. Looks adorable either way!

  69. Dianna Kahler says:

    You inspire me! I have been retired ten years now (my husband and I were able to retire at 62) and I wore scrubs to work daily. My closet contents was pitiful! It’s been so much fun spending the morning with your posts and being inspired to dress better. Today’s post with your work from home attire helps me see a better way. I definitely need to work on my shoes! Love shopping with you!

    1. Dianna, shoes are my Achilles heel. That is where my outfit can sometimes miss the mark.

  70. Love your site. Found it!! And glad I found you. Love the Ann Taylor crepe trousers and 2 piece half zip and wide leg pants among many other favs. Also love the scriptures and Sunday Bible share. Thank you

  71. Linda from Ontario, Canada says:

    Found It!

  72. Found it!

    Love the looks…you look so pretty going tot he doctors office, I’m usually in sweats lol.

  73. Definitely need at home outfit ideas.

  74. Lisa Carroll says:

    Found it! And yes word games are great! We do New York Connections, crossword, wordle, and strands every morning!

  75. Found it! I had to go through twice!!😅

  76. Found it! Read it multiple times. I was looking for the yellow smiley face. LOL Thanks for sharing.

  77. Carol Ann Jablonski says:

    Found it!
    Like you, I am not especially fond of patch pockets on jeans/pants.
    Wow, you found a t-shirt that withstands several washings and still comes back looking great? Wow, what am I doing wrong? The only brand I seem to have some luck with are Chico’s Perfect Elbow Sleeve Tees. They are a heavier weight than slub tee’s.

  78. JoAnn Hughes says:

    Found it!

    Love the post! You always have great outfits.

  79. Danielle P. says:

    Found it! 🙂 Love the versatility in all of the outfits you showcased. Thank you!

  80. Love the Dr appointment outfit, classy yet casual.
    “Found it”

  81. Hi Tania,
    What size in the Spanx look alike outfit do you have on?

    Also, the Addidas Samba, is there arch support in that sneaker?

    Thanks,
    Chris

    1. I’m wearing a medium, and it fits great. I’m not sure about the Samba support. That isn’t an issue for me, so I don’t pay attention to it.

  82. Kathy Laweryson says:

    Tania, thank you so much for the gift card I won yesterday! Really brightened my day! I will definitely use it to buy myself something pretty from your recommendations. I’m really liking that cream-colored leisure suit. I’m only 5’1 and I’m wondering if they’re too long? I didn’t see where they came in a short length. I actually find the ankle length or cropped pants are a better length for me.

    1. Kathy, I’m 5’6″ tall for reference. Rarely do I see petite sizes on these type sets, so maybe a cropped set would work better for you.

  83. Found it!
    I won’t tell you how long I had to look for the photo one 😂

    1. Our brains are wired to see what we think we should. After you get used to looking for it, the game will get much easier.

  84. Barb Cook says:

    Happy Monday! good to see clothes that can be done worn in warmer temps!

  85. found. Also, love the JCrew jeans.

  86. found one in the text, did not find the one in the photo 🙁

    1. It’s there. The text one was easier because the phone’s converted it to yellow instead of black and white. I’m going to have to figure out a way around that, I don’t want it to be THAT easy. Lol!

  87. Found it! Lovely comfy outfits!

  88. Found it:). Have a great day.

  89. Margaret Sajewski says:

    Found it by your purse

  90. Found it! & Love the shoes!

  91. Wendy Hoff says:

    Found it! Your looks are very pretty. I work from home sometimes and usually in my pjs. 😊

  92. Found the smiley face! I love all of your outfits, especially the stylish, yet comfy ones. I also dress a little nicer when going to the doctor’s office. I guess that’s just how I was raised. Thank you for doing this blog. I need to actually see soneone wearing a cute or stylish outfit in order to do the same thing myself.

  93. Elizabeth Daley says:

    Found it😊

  94. I found it 🙂 These outfits look very comfortable

  95. Kathleen Tufaro says:

    Found it. – Kathie

  96. Found It!

    Thanks for showing what you wear daily. I do not leave home much since retiring and wear a lot of lounge wear, I am going to try some of the clothes you showed today. I also like to dress up a little when I do go out. I don’t understand people wearing pajamas everywhere. I must be really old. LOL

    1. Lol! I don’t wear pajamas either, but I occasionally wear leggings.

  97. Dena McKinney says:

    Really enjoyed this post. I really liked the blanket stitch trimmed 2pc outfit especially with the added black cardigan.
    Peace

    I love word games. I play several every morning to get my brain working. My favorites are Wordle & Quartiles.

    1. My mom plays both of those each morning, also.

  100. Peggy McCloskey says:

    I’m curious: do you find your light blue nail polish to be limiting your outfits?

    1. I don’t pay any attention to my nail color when it comes to my outfits.
