Motivating + Easy Work-from-Home Outfits

Joules Breton Striped Top / White Skinny Jeans (They’re actually from Spanx! SO flattering.) / Rothy’s Washable Loafers

Believe me: I only recently decided to ditch the yoga pants and stop wallowing 24/7. But I think we all know how how much power there is in getting dressed every morning, and therefore I’m here today to share a bunch of easy outfits that you can put together in a snap. I can almost guarantee that your motivation, productivity and overall outlook will improve if you at least put jeans on! :)

Sarah Flint Shoes for Italy

The Rosie / The Natalie / The Perfect Emma

*Use code “SF-KELLY50” to take $50 off your order

Today, I’m excited to introduce you to Sarah Flint: a women-owned shoe company that I’ve loved for a while now, and one that’s trying to help those affected in some of the hardest-hit areas of the pandemic.

Designed by Sarah herself, her gorgeous shoes are made in Italy, and her team puts tremendous care into sourcing and partnering with the most knowledgeable artisans in the industry. As we all know, Italy is currently groaning under the coronavirus, as writer Jason Horowitz recently put it.. and its citizens are living in a nightmare. Today, to help with relief efforts, 25 percent off all Sarah Flint proceeds are going to Clinico Beato Matteo and Ospedale Civile di Vigevano—two hospitals in Italy located on the front lines, where many of the company’s timeless shoes are produced.

So if you’ve had your eye on a pair of SF shoes, now is a great time to purchase. ♥️ You can also use code “SF-KELLY50” to take $50 off your order.

Hi, Friends.

How’s everyone doing? I know I keep asking that but I think it needs to be asked. These are incredibly tough times and now more than ever it’s important to lean on each other when we need it.

I stumbled across this old post today, and it was really helpful for me so I thought I’d share it again. If you’re currently hunkered down with someone, you’re lucky. But that doesn’t mean that it isn’t tough. Spending 24 hours per day with anyone can present challenges, especially when you’re quarantined together during a scary, stressful and uncertain time.

I’d love to write a post soon with readers’ insight regarding how they’ve been maintaining their relationships with the people they’re quarantined with, and/or how they’ve been maintaining their relationships with the friends and family members that they can no longer physically see. So please either comment below with what’s been helping, or email me at Kelly@kellyinthecity.com with “RELATIONSHIPS” in the subject line.

Thank you so much, and in the meantime, perhaps you can draw something helpful from this pre-pandemic post. (I realized that no, we can no longer galavant around the city or go on traditional date nights at restaurants or whatever, but there’s still a lot we can do! It’s all about getting creative.) ♥️

Recent Finds, 3/20

Dress

I usually publish this series on Fridays because they’re fun, lighthearted and (very honestly) easy. And since yesterday was a rough one, I’m just going to go with last week’s “Recent Finds” today. It never ran, after all, and my brain needs a little break–as I’m sure yours does, too!

How are you guys holding up? Self quarantining isn’t bad; life has obviously slowed down considerably, and I have lots of interrupted time with the girls, which I’m grateful for. But… you know. I just can’t shake the fear factor. It’s ever-present.

We have a lot of rain on the forecast for the foreseeable future–both literally and figuratively, I suppose–but I’m placing a great deal of importance on getting outside as much as possible, as mental health has never been more important. And I’m very much for anything that makes these times a bit sunnier!
