The Quarantine Loungewear You Need for Summer
Welcome Back Luxe Babes,
The last 3 months have been a helluva time to be alive!
I hope you are all staying sane and safe at home with the occasional dip outside, since the world is opening up a bit.
I am an ambivert (introvert + extrovert). I love to be social with my family and friends for things like brunch and happy hours, but I also am a secret almost homebody. I can count the many times I’ve gone out for social gatherings and wished I hadn’t. Needless to say, quarantine and self-isolation haven’t been too hard for me. Honestly, I’ve actually been thriving. My creativity has spiked, and I’ve been producing a lot of deliverables for my company Healthy Kids & Teens, as well as this blog.
While I keep up all this great work, I prefer to do it in style. Just because my summer trips are cancelled and most of my happy hours are from the couch, it doesn’t mean I can’t look fabulous while doing so!
Check out my favorite comfy, chic pieces below!
Skims
Full disclosure? I’ve had a thing for Kim Kardashian’s style for years. Kim’s 2009-2014 arc of fashion was my absolute favorite! I miss the colorful Kim, but I’m rocking with the monochrome Kim too. When I learned that Kim K was releasing a shapewear line, I knew it was going to be the bomb! Kim did not invent shapewear, but she most definitely revolutionized it!
Her second launch with the Skims brand is loungewear. After her third restock, I decided to pick up a couple pieces. Honey I was not disappointed!
While at home, I love to cook, create, and even clean while staying comfy. I love the feminine twist on the classic boxer shorts. The rib tank fits more like a crop top on me. . Although the tank is a loungewear piece, I have worn it more than a few times while running errands.
Cotton Rib thermal leggings + Cotton Plunge Bralette
Size: L + M
Color: Bone
This set is more for your sexy feeling days. The “thermal” leggings are actually light enough to sleep in. I often pair this set with a comfortable sweater.
Honey Bum
After seeing ads for a year from HoneyBum, I finally decided to place my first order. First of all, JEANS! (but more on that in another post).
Size: M
This two-piece set is strictly a stay-at-home set, unless you’ve got your shape-wear underneath. The material is thin for the summer heat, but a little sheer in the shorts. The crocodile texture has a hint of shimmer! I love the way the color looks on my skin.
The shorts are high wasted, and the crop top is a scoop neck, both perfect matches for my pear body shape.
Size: L
Color: Light Blue
This set is perfect for my Baby Spice dreams! I was obsessed with the Spice Girls growing up, and I would have been a perfect member with this outfit.
I purchased a size L; however, I should have sized down. This stretchy set hugs your curves and makes that booty look niccceeee!
If you’re still shopping for cute and comfortable loungewear, check out these retailers. Skims’ is home to my current favorite shapewear plus other essentials, basics, and undergarments. They restock their loungewear almost every month and it goes fast. Honey Bum is a fashion brand with tons of options. I fully intend to purchase from both stores again! Happy Shopping!
