These shoes are basically Tevas with fake pearls stuck on. They cost too much and they’re ridiculous and I don’t care. Over the past couple years I’ve done a better job at not buying too many random “statement” pieces that I may not want to wear in a year. You know, be less wasteful, buy for the long term, save the earth, etc. But on the other hand, life is short and these silly sandals make me happy.

And you never know…maybe I’ll still be wearing these when I’m 80.

If you’re looking for a dress that doubles as a parachute or small tent in a pinch, I’ve found the garment for you. After all, if 2020 has taught us anything, it’s that you must be prepared for anything.

Luckily, I was able to stick to using this dress for its intended purposes while visiting the Indianapolis Museum of Art earlier this month. I know most people miss things like restaurants and parties and their families or whatnot, but me — I mainly wanted to be reunited with walls full of beautiful things. If any of my local readers have been thinking of returning to the Newfields campus, I highly recommend it. Everyone wore masks, there was plenty of space, and I felt totally comfortable. And the current Edward Hopper exhibit is quite apropo.
