Let’s add picnics in the park to the list of things I started doing out of “necessity” during the pandemic that I hope to keep doing for years to come. (Also on the list: wearing joggers instead of jeans, and working out at home.)

Picnics are the perfect activity for someone who’s introverted but also likes to be out and about, and who likes to be in nature but also likes to wear a cute outfit and not get dirty. (It’s me. The someone is me.)

I’m proud to say everything I’m wearing here except the sunglasses came from brands with sustainable practices, but don’t forget that buying from these brands is not the only way (or even the best way) to be part of the #sustainablefashion movement.

WTF is a Cardicoat?

When I got off my 6-week shopping hiatus, this “cardicoat” was my very first purchase. Is it a cardigan? Is it a coat? Is it basically a robe that’s socially acceptable to wear outside? It’s all of these things and more. And for those of us in the Midwest who experience approximately 6 different seasons between February and May, it’s a great transition piece.

In 10 years I’ll probably look back on these photos and think, “did I really go outside in a glorified bathrobe and cowboy boots?!” And then I’ll remember, “yes, because the world was on fire and I finally learned to care slightly less about perfection and more about dressing for myself.”
