It’s been a long time since I’ve posted here - I’m much more active on Instagram these days - but thought I’d share some favorite outfits from my absence that I would definitely repeat when I’m out of the house more often.

During much of the past year I really wasn’t putting much effort into getting dressed. Depression and anxiety (both pre-existing and then very heightened during the pandemic) really play a factor for me, but it’s improved over the past 6 months or so. (I felt like I shouldn’t waste time and materials, I.e. makeup, if I was just going to be at home, but why do I do this anyway if not because I enjoy it?)
I’m now in a happier groove where sometimes I still kick around the house in loungewear and no makeup, but it’s loungewear that I really like, and when I feel like getting dressed and putting on makeup, I do - and it’s fun again.

From most to least recent, 20 highlights:
1. Repeating a tried and true favorite. Dark ankle length jeans with ankle zipper left open, black high quality knit top with resin-coated panel, silver and purple beaded collar necklace, low-heeled rose gold mules, cognac leather & braided silver Sami bracelet

6. Light blue crew neck sweater, black mock-neck top underneath, black ponte knit pants, black suede booties, silver & glass beaded long strand necklace
