QUARANTINE and Chill

It’s Day ???? of quarantine and if you’re like me you’ve probably been living in leggings and pajamas. Let’s be honest, if you’re not leaving the house, you probably have no reason to get dressed, and you definitely have no reason to wear jeans. But if on some rare occasion you do actually feel like dressing up for a day spent in your living room, The Mod Little Melanin has you covered!

Oversized tees are perfect for quarantine and chill! My favorite oversized tees are band tees, but lately I’ve been wearing whatever 2XL tee I can find in my house that can be styled with leggings and/or biker shorts. I found this oversized band tee at Shop Hope’s, one of my favorite online boutiques that offers quality clothing at affordable prices.

I originally purchased this tee shirt in a 2XL to be worn as an oversized dress with a pair of Doc Martin boots to wear as a comfy outfit for a day of shopping, etc. Instead I decided to wear it as a shirt for this look by tucking it in utilizing the “French Tuck” method, a phrase coined by the cast of Netflix’s Queer Eye.

To complete the look, I added a pair of high-waisted jeans purchased from Old Navy. The Rockstar Jeans sold by Old Navy are my go-to jeans aside from the No Boundaries jeans I talk about often on the blog. They offer tons of stretch, and offer sculpting at the tummy to assist in creating a desired look in your jeans. No pair of jeans are complete without the proper belt; this belt is a find from Forever 21 and is a Gucci style dupe belt.

And of course no quarantine look is complete without a pair of comfy sneakers. This pair of funky sneakers is a find from Red Shoes, a local shoe store in the Kansas City metropolitan area.

Stay safe!
