Shall I get dressed today?

Sunday morning, and it's likely I will assume the position behind that little breakfast tray anyway - should I bother getting dressed?

I came across something on Instagram this week that stuck with me:  

Fashion is Wellness

In my personal case, however much I love fashion in theory, getting dressed does not bring mental peace and pleasure nowadays - I simply own too many clothes that don't fit me anymore.  Opening my wardrobe door results in anxiety more often than anything else.

That said, my best day since lockdown was when I dyed my hair blonde and put a skirt on.  I still sat behind the breakfast tray and I never left my house, but it was a good day somehow.

So yes, let's all get dressed today!

Lots of love,

A Brand New Reality

Before COVID-19 lockdown on March 7 - last time I wore nice shoes.


I want to take this opportunity to say I hope you are all safe and healthy, and have managed to avoid or recover from the virus.

Many of us, including me, have been complaining about being cooped up inside, but I'd like to give a shout-out here to the people who are not able to just shelter safely at home.

Thank you so very much to essential workers for being out there every day in hospitals, grocery shops, pharmacies, trains and buses, police stations - we'd be totally lost without your courage.  You all deserve pay rises or bonuses urgently.

Now some random fashion inspiration photos...

Lots of love,
