Hello friends! Happy Tuesday (though the days of the week seem to blur right now, right?). I hope this blog posts finds you safe and healthy, give the current state of the world. I don't know about you guys, but as I write this, I am going on week 9 (!) of working from home/sheltering-in-place.
If it's one thing I've learned during this time, it's that I don't have enough cozy/comfy/loungewear to work from home five days a week looking both put together and feeling comfortable. So I was delighted when Femme Luxe reached out to me for a collaboration and offered to send me three pieces of my choice to review. Being that I am in need of comfy clothing AND I'm not planning on leaving my home anything soon, I naturally gravitated towards loungewear and all things comfortable.
Femme Luxe has a variety of items to choose from, such as joggers, loungewear, and comfy t-shirts. Below are my three picks and review of the items I ordered, along with photos I took once they arrived. The photos I took show how I would style these items.
1. Black 'Ooh La La' Oversized T-Shirt
Being I love all things French (I studied abroad in Marseille, France, my senior year of college) and comfy t-shirts, this was a natural choice. It's oversized, which means it's super comfy when worn at home. You can pair this with skinny joggers for a comfy look, or if you want to wear this outside the house, you could probably knot it on one side and pair it with a pair of jeans of comfy sandals. Another option would be to wear this to the gym (nothing motivates me to work out more than comfy/cute gym pieces). Below is a selfie of me wearing the t-shirt this past weekend, before I left the house for a much-needed grocery run (the highlight of my week, these days!).
2. Black V-Neck Boxy Loungewear Set
I ordered this set in black (because everyone looks good in black, right?) and was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable it is. I'd also feel appropriate running to the grocery store in this or for errands on the weekend (Home Goods, how I miss you!), once the stay-at-home order is lifted here in California. This set is also available in other colors such as gray and pink. The pants are cropped slightly, so if this is something you don't like in loungewear, then skip this set. The waist band is elasticated, which I love (hello, comfort!). Another thing to note about this item is that it's somewhat shiny because it's made from polyester and elastane. Due to the nature of the fabric, this item would be best for spring or summer wear, in my opinion. It would look cute paired with a pair of comfy flats or sandals, or sneakers.
3. Khaki Loungewear Tracksuit Set
I LOVE all things khaki, so when I saw this set, I had to order it (most of my loungewear is black and boring). One thing I love is that this is a coordinated top and bottom, which I actually don't own up until now. I find that having loungewear that matches makes you look more put together, even if you are simply wear this around the house or working from home. This set comes in four additional colors and has an elasticated fitted ankle and drawstring front. The material is a stretch fit which I love because it means it won't lose its shape as you wear it (I have a pair of skinny joggers that are cotton and I find that they stretch out over the course of the day). Of all the items ordered, this was by far my favorite and the one I will be wearing the most. The set is soft and cozy and is perfect for lounging around at home year round. Below is a picture of me trying it on (I only have a full-length mirror in the guest room, which has since been turned into my gym/exercise bike room because my gym is closed).
Shipping from Femme Luxe was good despite the current situation with the quarantine. I found that the website often has online sales and promo codes that you can apply towards your entire purchase. In all, I found their pieces to be reasonably priced. If you're looking for comfortable loungewear during the quarantine and don't want to spend a fortune, I highly recommend you head over to Femme Luxe to take a look. In addition to loungewear, they also have shoes and accessories. The site also allows returns, though I haven't had the need to make any thus far. One last thing worth mentioning: I did wash all these items upon arrival and they held up very well in the wash (no shrinking, wrinkles, etc.). I simply hung everything up to dry and they were ready to wear the next day, which is great, because the last thing I want to do right now is iron. ;)
Have a wonderful week, stay safe, and happy online shopping!
