I wore this out to my very first at-a-restaurant meal in months! (On a patio…I am still not willing to sit in an enclosed space with strangers just for the sake of not doing my own dishes.) It was pretty risky to wear a white dress when I wasn’t entirely sure if I remembered how to conduct myself in public, but I managed to use a napkin and silverware properly. Still got it.

For me, the hardest part about venturing back into the world — other than the general looming fear of contributing to the demise of humanity — is the shoes. I mean you know I love my shoes. But I haven’t really been wearing shoes most of the time at home, and now I’m realizing how uncomfortable they all are. Like those adorable wedges you see here (Stella McCartney secondhand, thankyouverymuch) – my feet felt like they doubled in size over the course of 2 hours. Quarantine has really softened me, guys.

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.
