One of the upsides of working from home for me has been the chance to take my kids to school and pick them up. It’s a highlight of my day that I try never to miss when I’m not in the city or caught up in meetings for work. I love seeing their excitement when they see their friends and teachers at drop off and the smile on their faces when they see me at pick up and come running and charging at me ready for a big hug (though James is less about the hug these days). It’s also a nice way for me to break up my Zoom meetings, emails and get some fresh air. Since I have to drop Charlotte off at preschool and walk her to her drop off spot, it also forces me to get somewhat dressed and to run a brush through my hair. I’m a big proponent of planning out your outfits in advance to make the mornings run smoother, and these days, that means putting together school drop off/pick up outfits that I can quickly reach for before running out the door.
As much as I love to spend the day in sweats or leggings, I am so much more productive when I get dressed in “real clothes”, even if it’s just to change out of my pajamas and into joggers and a matching sweater. With that said, I do not have the energy or time these days to put a lot of thought into what I’m wearing. I need a uniform, or at least some go-to outfits that I can rotate through and throw on and go — whether I am planning to workout after drop off, run home to a meeting, try to squeeze in some errands, or head to the office. If school drop off/pick up is the big social event of your day sometimes, aka only time you really see other people, or the first stop on a busy day, and you’re looking for help figuring out what to wear without making too much effort, you’ve come to the right place. I’ve assembled some easy school drop off/pick up outfits that I can quickly throw on in the morning and look put-together.
