Work From Home Wednesdays

The title pretty much tips ya off — I work from home on Wednesdays. I love it.

It's a much-needed break from the office, where there are infinitely more distractions and wacky, across-the-newsroom conversations about what a pig Ahnuld is.

At home, I'm freakishly productive and I might sneak in a load of laundry. I also don't have to expend too much energy on coming up with a work-appropriate outfit. Not that that is really so stressful because it is very, very casual.

Still, telecommuting gives me a chance to wear things I wouldn't normally — like a white skirt. I would have that sucker smeared with newsprint or lunch in no time in the office. Of course, I'd only just put it on and was walking the kids to school when an overexuberant dog on a walk planted a pawprint on it. The photo was pre-pawprint.

Outfit: J Crew t-shirt; James Perse drawstring-back skirt; Betsy Johnson low wedges.
