If the thought of another day spent in sloppy sweatpants makes you want to stay in bed, try taking a leaf out of Lucy Rogers’ book.
The 32-year-old has decided to jazz up lockdown life by wearing a different fancy ballgown for every day she works from home.
She’s sharing every glamorous moment – from snacking on the sofa to slouching her way through a Zoom call – on her Instagram, @sayyestothewfhdress.
The plot is a great way to make sure the clothes Lucy receives through Rent the Runway don’t go to waste, as she struggled with the idea of not having anywhere to show off the stylish pieces.
Lucy, from the UK but living in New York, hopes that as well as brightening up her day, her vow to wear the fanciest gowns to work from home will bring cheer to other people.
‘I really wanted to wear all these gorgeous dresses I had rented, but I had nowhere to go,’ said Lucy, who works for the digital marketing agency Croud.
‘I started the Instagram site as a bit of a joke, to keep myself entertained while we’re all stuck at home.
‘I thought my friends and family would find it funny and it just blew up from there really.
‘I was going to cancel my subscription but then I thought this could be an opportunity to wear all these lovely things that I could never normally wear to the office.
‘Unfortunately I have to send them back afterwards.’
Lucy says she’s received an outpouring of positive messages from people who are enjoying her pics.
‘I’ve even had messages from people working in the ER, saying they check in daily to look at the dresses,’ she says. ‘I thought that was so nice.
‘And people have started posting their own photos with the hashtag.
‘It’s a bit of fun to make people smile while all this is going on.’
