This week is more like what I wish I wore the the last week of June 2020, i.e., lots of pretty dresses with ruffles and puffy sleeves – my two obsessions as of late. I say wish because we’re still living amid lockdowns and a global pandemic. Things are starting to slowly open up here with outdoor dining at restaurants and allowance of small gatherings and stores opening, but it’s all masked and cautious and the truth is, we’re not going to any weddings or parties or hanging out at friends houses much these days. We’re still taking it very cautiously, but the novelty of being able to see people, even while hanging in the backyard or to go to the store, has me (over) dressing for just about every occasion where I step outside.
On Monday, I dressed up for absolutely no one but my Zoom meetings and our first trip to sit outside at a restaurant in a black dress that’s under $60 and so so good. On Tuesday, I wore another steal of a dress to take Charlotte to the pediatrician (a big event these days), and on Wednesday, I had some big meetings and a panel all on Zoom of course, so I went a bit over the top but I am in love with this Victorian style dress, and think it’s just as big of a treat from the waist up, which is all anyone saw anyway (note to self: need to step up my hair and makeup game). Thursday was a workout/pajamas all day situation due to lack of childcare and a full day of work, but Friday I went all out for five minutes to show you my favorite dress to wear to a Zoom or irl wedding or special occasion. I have nowhere to wear it but hoping one of these days again soon I will.
So that was my very long-winded way of saying, here’s what I wore the last week of June 2020.
MONDAY
Black Ruffle Dress (also love this); flats
TUESDAY
Puff Sleeved Dress (under $40); flats; hat
WEDNESDAY
Blue Floral Dress; sandals; hat
