Work outfits sure have changed a lot in the past year! When the pandemic first started, I fully embraced the opportunity to wear more casual clothing. That was when this was only going to last two weeks! However, as the weeks went on (I can’t believe it’s been an entire year) I started to dress up a little more for two reasons: 1) I found I was more productive when I was dressed and in “work” clothes and 2) I missed my clothes! Here are some recent work from home outfits:
1. gold foil leggings | 2. pearl embellished boots | 3. detangling brush | 4. body wash | 5. lipgloss | 6. animal print silk face mask | 7. colorblock pullover | 8. animal print blanket
While 2020 was a different year (in many regards!) there were still a lot of favorite products purchased across those 12 months! You can see last year’s round up here. And while the products were a little different from years past — think cozy, stay at home products — these are a few of my favorite finds of all time! Here are my best purchases of 2020:
Leggings were the pants of choice in 2020 and these are some of my favorite yet! I have raved about this brand before, but these gold foil leggings are my latest find. This gold foil print makes working out more fun. I love to wear it with the matching sports bra and a black tank!
The perfect way to dress up an outfit, I first fell in love with these pearl embellished boots during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. When I first saw them, they reminded me of the Gucci pair, at a fraction of the price! Super comfortable and by far my favorite shoe purchase of 2020. I’m usually a size 9.5 but I sized up to a 10.
My detangling brush that I have had for years broke in half (!!) and I was in desperate need of a new one. My hair gets super tangled when I get out of the shower and I usually have to use a detangling spray to get my hair in order. But, with this new detangling brush, it works so well, I don’t even need the spray!
If you follow along on Instagram, I talked a little bit about this brand on Friday. I had seen so many ads on Instagram for this brand, I finally decided to give it a try. I will say, for body wash, it is pricey. That was one of the reasons why I was hesitant to try it. But, after using it, I’m hooked and completely believe all the hype with this brand. A little goes a long way and bubbles form pretty easily. I can’t believe how soft my skin feels after using this — I have the most dry skin! It is available in a few scents, including fragrance free, but my favorite is the eucalyptus. I purchased a few other products from the brand since trying the body wash, and everything is amazing!
I bought this lipgloss on a whim at the beginning of quarantine and can’t believe how much I love it! I had planned to wear it as a gloss over this lipstick, but have found myself wearing it over other colors and mostly, on it’s own! The color, $weetmouth, is a shimmering soft pink. This gloss leaves your lips feeling smooth, hydrated (not sticky!), and fuller. I’m looking forward to trying other colors.
I never thought a face mask would make a “best purchases of” post, but here we are! After almost a year (hard to believe) of mask-wearing, I can honestly say I don’t enjoy it anymore than I did in March. However, since masking-wearing has become the new normal, this silk mask is the best I have found. It is soft on your skin (and doesn’t make your skin breakout) and it does a pretty good job of keeping your makeup in place. I have seen some reviews that say your lipstick stays on, but for me, it doesn’t take off my lipstick as much as other masks. And I love that the ear loops are adjustable. Makes wearing a mask a little more tolerable.
One of my coziest pullovers, this pullover has been on repeat the majority of fall and winter. It didn’t get a ton of great reviews, but it’s honestly one of my go-to cozy pieces in my closet. It’s TTS (I’m wearing a medium) and I love wearing it with leggings and ankle boots. Super comfortable for wearing around the house or even out and about running errands. This colorblock pullover is on super sale, so scoop it up while you can!
I’ve been a longtime lover of these blankets (and the brand’s sweaters, socks, and even dog sweaters!) but I picked up this color during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and it’s my favorite yet. We have a ton of these blankets around the house — they are so soft, comfy, and warm! I keep this new one on our bed and Ella has completely taken it over (see above!). Even though she has her own in a smaller size, she always cuddles up in this larger one! There are a ton of colors and prints available, so there is something for everyone!

And that’s a wrap on my best purchases of 2020! I will be sharing a best Amazon purchases of 2020 post next week, so stay tuned for that. Thanks for stopping by, friends! I hope you have a great week!
Happy day before Thanksgiving, friends! As I mentioned in last week’s post where I shared the best Thanksgiving recipes (see it here), Thanksgiving will probably look a little different for everyone this year. Not only the food (or amount of food) but also the clothing. While the goal of dressing for Thanksgiving is always comfort, a more casual and comfortable Thanksgiving will be probably be the norm for many of us this year. Here are a few casual and comfortable Thanksgiving 2020 outfit ideas:

Another blog post brought to you by staying at home! Whether you are working from home, stay in the house, or thinking about weekend wear for when all this over, here are some of my work from home essentials:
Happy Monday, friends! I’m sorry I left you hanging last week and only shared a post on Monday. There has been a lot going on with my 9-5 job lately but I’m hopeful things will be back to normal soon! Amazon has become one of my go-to online retailers as of late. Not only can you find just about anything on Amazon, you can’t beat how quickly it arrives. Here is a round-up of my January Amazon purchases:
Happy Monday, friends! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Our weekend was spent recovering from Orangetheory Hell Week (if you missed last Thursday’s post, I talked about it there). The majority of the weekend was spent in workout clothes for OTF and casual, comfortable clothes for errands and just being around the house. However, last week I wore this green leopard sweater for a stop at our favorite local winery and it was the perfect fall look. You can’t beat a leopard sweater under $30 that is easy to throw on for a casual weekend look.
Happy Monday, friends! It’s been a busy few weeks, but I’m glad to be back to our regular routine and posting schedule this week. Today I am sharing another early fall outfit and yes, it’s another leopard heavy look #sorrynotsorry 🙂 I’m a firm believer in all things animal print and with it trending this season more than ever, I’m completely embracing it. This cozy leopard cardigan is the perfect layer for now and as we continue into the cooler fall temperatures.
Happy Thursday, friends! The long holiday weekends sure make the weeks go fast. With the anticipation of cool weather, today I am kicking off one of my first true fall outfits here on A Blonde’s Moment. And what better way to start the fall season that with this leopard button-front shirt!
