I don’t know if it’s the self-isolation or just the wisdom of my 30s, but lately I’ve stopped caring so much about whether my clothes are “flattering.” What does that even mean and why should it be that important? I got this blouse in Paris and I’ve barely worn it because every time I put it on, I think it makes me look slightly pregnant and I end up changing.

So what? Pregnant people are a level of badass I will never achieve (by choice), so why would I be afraid to look like them? (But if you ask my how far along I am, I will give you my best death stare.) This blouse is cute, it reminds me of my vacation en France, I like it, and I shall wear it.

An Outing

When: late March? 2 years ago? // Weather: colder than I thought // Real life: walk in Broad Ripple park

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.
