If you're anything like I am, you've spent the last four months rotating two pairs of sweats, though I do occasionally throw a nice shirt on top of my leggings for the occasional important video call. For anyone who knows me, this is a big deal — I never owned a pair of sweatpants before March of 2020.
That, of course, has now changed forever.
Recently, however, I've been missing getting dressed up. Though I'm fully supportive of anyone who may want to throw on an evening gown to work from home and eat dinner alone, I feel there has to be a middle ground between the baggy sweats and the fully dressed-up look.
That's when I turn to Nordstrom — a breeding ground for chic, luxury essentials I rarely splurge on. But with loungewear becoming a new part of our daily lives, I want to invest a bit more into what I'm putting on my body every day and there's no better time to do that than during Nordstrom's Annual Sale when you can justify the purchases without having to bend your budget.
Any fellow fashion-lover understands the importance and sheer joy of putting only the best items on our bodies, which is why I put together this list of absolute must-haves to feel our best for ourselves at home when nobody is watching.
Majestic International Earthright Shawl Collar Terry Robe for the days real clothes aren't in the cards

Minnetonka Flurry Scuff Faux Fur Slippers for footwear so comfy you might forget to take them off when you crawl in to bed

True & Co. True Body Lift V-Neck Racerback Bralette for the big-chested woman who needs support but hates the feel of typical bras

Spanx Workout To Waves Mesh Panel Sports Bra for a sexy look that feels as good as being totally braless

Zella Restore Soft Pocket Lounge Leggings for the perfect middle ground between sweats and leggings

Thread & Supply Wubby Fleece Pullover for the cozy fleece you'll throw on top of your sports bra 30 seconds before every Zoom call
