the perfect comfy capsule for your time at home.

You guys, I am so excited about today’s post!!!

I’ve shared this many times before but getting dressed is crucial for me to stay mentally healthy and happy, especially during uncertain times. But also, right now during a global pandemic when we are all quarantining at home, I kind of just feel like being comfortable and wearing sweats all the time. The problem is, every time I give into that urge to just wear sweats, I end up feeling anxious and depressed by the end of the day. Not what I need right now, TBH.

Well just because we’re staying home 24/7 doesn’t mean we can’t be cute AND comfy. I put together a comfy capsule perfect for working at home, working out at home, and relaxing at home featuring all my favorites from Aerie (my go-to for all things comfy) as well as a few other brands. Everything is cute enough to feel totally put together and soft enough to be totally comfortable.

And just a side note: I absolutely love that Aerie offers inclusive sizing, especially all the short options for us petite ladies, I’ve never been able to find “lounge clothes” that didn’t need a ton of alterations, so I really appreciate how the brand has stepped up in this way. Also, including models with Down Syndrome, bravo Aerie, bravo! (ps. There’s a huge aerie sale today so it’s a good time to stock up on your comfy capsule pieces.)

Okay, now let’s get down to capsuling!

Outfit #1: tracksuit, henley, Adidas sneakers.

I love a good knit jumpsuit for a comfy capsule. This tracksuit is a winner with a capital W. It’s so soft it feels like the most comfy jammies you’ve ever worn, but looks totally cute and put together. And I love the sporty vibes. Also, the price is bananas. On sale for under $30. I got it in 2 colors… well you’ll see. I love that this can be worn simply with just a long sleeves henley underneath (pictured above) or can be layered with a denim or leather jacket or even a long cardigan. Put it on, and you will NEVER want to take it off.

Outfit #2: tracksuit, henley, denim jacket, sneakers.

Same tracksuit, different color. And you know a classic black has my heart forever. As you see, it works GREAT with a denim jacket (this one is 50% off today and comes in petite!) and some cute sneakers, and I love the pockets.

outfit #3:tracksuit, henley, sneakers.

Same jumpsuit again, and lets talk about the henley. This henley is literally the BEST one I have ever owned. I have it in 5 colors, it’s literally that good. I just added this olive one to my rotation and I love how it looks paired with the black tracksuit. These henleys are super soft, comfortable and insanely flattering.

Outfit #4: henley, joggers, sneakers.

Same henley from above just paired with a great pair of joggers. A pair of classic black joggers are a must have for any comfy capsule (and I prefer them in a non-cotton fabric because they can easily be dressed up and down.). I paired the look with my favorite black running sneakers. A pair of black Adidas sneakers are another great addition to a comfy capsule, they elevate any athleisure outfit and are so comfy. If you don’t have a pair of black sneaker in your comfy capsule, I highly recommend this pair.

Outfit #5: sweatshirt. joggers. sneakers.

Like any good capsule, the pieces should mix and match seamlessly with each other, and here is another great option. Same joggers with a super comfy pullover hoodie. This exact sweatshirt is from Aerie (and sold out right now, sadly) but they have a bunch of great lightweight hoodie options. For this outfit I just front-tucked the hoodie into the joggers so it doesn’t look sloppy and threw on these fit flop sneakers that are so soft and comfy.

Outfit #6: leggings, sweatshirt, sneakers.

Same sweatshirt paired with my all-time favorite petite friendly leggings from Aerie. I live in these. They are my favorite to work out in, they’re super comfy and flattering, and they come in short lengths so they are perfect in-seam wise even on my short little legs.

outfit #7: leggings, bookish tee, sweater, slippers.

Same leggings now paired with my favorite “lounge around the house” oversized cardigan and my “bookish” tee. This cardigan is my go-to (I have it in 2 colors) and pairs nicely with almost everything else in my cozy capsule. Perfect comfy outfit for curling up with a book!
