The hard part about quarantine (besides everything) is I have more time to shop online but less opportunities to wear my new clothes anywhere. Yes, I acknowledge this is the definition of a first-world problem, but it’s the one I have.

So walks in the park have become my excuse for a fashion show. This particular day I put on my cute little spring outfit (including the bottom half of my new two-piece dress from Vetta Capsule), and in the time it took me to make my perfectly undone top knot, it got suddenly cloudy and cool and not very walk-in-the-park friendly.

But DAGNABBIT I wasn’t about to give up, so I added a cashmere wrap and we took a chilly little stroll. And GOSHDARNIT it was lovely.

That’s the joyous face of someone who is relishing the freedom of the outdoors. I don’t know if the rules are different where you are, but here the public parks are still open, and I’m so glad they are. Taking walks around the neighborhood is nice and all, but when there are extremely limited activities to do outside the house, it’s nice to be able to go somewhere. When I go somewhere, that means I get to put on an outfit. When I get to put on an outfit, that means I’m happy.

Speaking of outfits, I’m really excited about this brand I learned about recently, Vetta Capsule (this is not sponsored, but I wouldn’t turn down an offer). I’m not really into the whole “capsule wardrobe” thing, but I am into garments that are easy to wear in different ways. So get this: the sleeves of this trench coat zip off so it becomes a long vest! I haven’t worn it that way yet, but I’m pretty excited about it. (Don’t know about you, but I get excited about almost anything during quarantine.) I’m trying to support smaller businesses during this craziness, so I’ve ordered several pieces from Vetta (and a few other brands).

Considering I leave the house once a week at best, I should be able to show you all my new stuff by mid-2023. YAY.
