I think we can all agree that sometimes it's just hard to be productive in your own home. You get distracted so easily, sometimes by all the wonderful things you could be doing instead of writing or even by all the horrible but responsible things that you should be doing instead of writing. Essentially, that is my life. I get distracted so easily or my family keeps barging into my room and the bottom line is that it ends up being impossible to get anything done. In this situation, my absolute favourite thing to do is to make my way to a nice, cheap cafe with good WiFi and just bust out a few hours of writing. Granted, I don't always have the time to do all the hours I want to because school but writing in a cafe always manages to make me more productive.
Obviously I have an overly romantic view of what one would wear to said cafe but I feel like if you're going to go out to a public place to be a writer, that's so romantic and movie-esque that why not dress the part? So obviously wear whatever you want on your writing days but this is my closet for those days you just decide to take some time and head out to get some writing done.
The most important aspect is probably the leggings. I tried to pair some good leggings with a nice button-down shirt that was casual but still not "I've been in my pajamas all day" sort of thing. You want comfort but you still want to look like you did go through some effort to appear nice in public. Professional but tousled, urban but simple.
And simple is the key word here. I've put out many primary colours and because it's fall, there's a lot of maroon in here since that is probably my favourite fall colour. A great knit beanie, a pair of sturdy boots, and a strapped bag all in blues, maroons, and browns are always a staple of any fall wardrobe, regardless of where you're going or what you're doing.
Also, this would definitely be the kind of rainy day to go super easy on the makeup and just take a break from a full face. Put on some simple lip balm, maybe some concealer and you're probably done. This kind of outfit is perfect for a mood where everything is chic yet very laid back.
But I think that going to write or do you work in a cafe at any time is the perfect time to look erudite and trendy, the perfect look to be walking around the city or later snuggling up with a cat, some fairy lights, and a notebook.
PS obviously don't wear the glasses if they look unbelievably stupid and everyone will laugh at you for wearing glasses with fake lenses of any kind. The glasses are optional.
Have a Brettastic day!
