Stay comfy in October 2020
Even though many of you were hoping to return to the office before winter sets in, it looks like working @ home is there to stay for a while. A little bit depressing, I know. However, working from home does not mean you cannot dress up a little and cheer yourself up with ‘dressier’ outfits and brighter colors.
The oversized poplin shirt, with ruffles and puffy sleeves, are back. Turtleneck long tunic will bring comfort and warmth and will pair casually with a pair of wide-legged utility pants.
Some suggestions of New look patterns to make in October:
New Look 6632- Knit empire dress 
New Look 6533- Babydoll top & leggings 
New look 6674- Utility trousers
