It’s hard to find words to sum up these past couple of weeks, but I’ll use my roundup of what I wore the second week of June 2020 to do just that. Because I feel like my wardrobe is such a reflection of where we’re at and getting dressed has become pointless and yet essential in this time. Does that even make sense>? I don’t know. Does anything honestly? As quarantine and this pandemic has worn on, I’ve debated the merits of getting dressed, but last week I did. I had meetings and presentations and panels, and a team to show up for — even if it was all virtually. But I also have never felt less like getting dressed or getting out of bed. But since that wasn’t an option with kids and a career, I got up and got dressed and not just in sweats or leggings but really dressed. And honestly, it did make me feel better and slightly more in control of things. Slightly. I don’t want to claim that putting on real clothes is going to make this any less stressful or terrifying or overwhelming because of course it’s not going to. But it can make you feel a little more “normal” or put together for a moment I suppose. I also love pretty dresses, as you know, and even if I have nowhere to go, I figured it takes the same time to throw on leggings as a dress. Plus, why should my dresses be punished just because I can’t go out? Idk I’m sure tomorrow I’ll be in a sweatsuit swearing off clothes forever, but this week it was really quite a mix.
Here’s what I wore the second week of June 2020.
MONDAY
Dress (old English Factory but similar here); Sunglasses
