Hey friends – How’s everyone hanging in there? (Emphasis on “IN” because that’s where we should all be staying as much as possible.) I’m on day 7 of self-quarantine and it hasn’t been great but it hasn’t been terrible either. Those of you with kids, I have no idea how you are doing it. If everyone in your family is still alive at the end of this, you deserve a trophy. A trophy filled with wine.

I’m here today to briefly distract you from your troubles with this outfit I wore a few weeks ago. I splurged on this Hermès belt when I was in NYC last month. Is it silly to spend so much money on one belt? Yes. But luckily, this belt is reversible. Therefore it is 2 belts and a totally reasonable purchase.

P.S. This skirt is actually a dress! Pro tip: layer sweaters over your summer dresses to make them more versatile year-round.

Say what you will about these gloomy Indiana springs, but an overcast sky is like nature’s Instagram filter. Look at that youthful glow!

Of course, now we’re all on house arrest and it doesn’t matter much what the weather is. But I have a few outfits saved up that I’ll roll out for you over the next couple weeks. After all, things will eventually go back to real life, and by then you might have forgotten how to dress yourself. Not to worry, because you have me to remind you to put on pants. And a moto jacket.
