COVID-19 But Make It Fashion
A friend sent a really thought-provoking essay from InStyle Magazine about sartorial self care during a worldwide pandemic, A Case for Continuing to Wear Your Jewelry During Isolation, and it got me thinking. There is no right or wrong way to dress or accessorize in the age of corona––if it works for you, go with it. When days seem to bleed into each other, it feels nice to remember the life we lived up until just a few months ago. For those of us who find joy and self expression in the clothes and jewelry we wear, a little accessorizing makes a huge impact. So much about how we lived and how we spent our days is in a holding pattern right now. The things we wear create ritual and connection, and we need those things right now more than ever.
Think about those earrings that make you feel like dancing. The gorgeous necklace that strangers always stop to compliment you on. The statement bracelet you don’t wear often but always wish you wore more. Find that piece that makes you feel amazing and go put it on–– whether you’re in your pajamas or business casual at home. I know it makes me feel better.
What is your favorite statement piece? And what does it say about you?
