As a collective, there were many times during 2020 that we managed to thrive despite our circumstances, however, the ability to really get use out of our wardrobes was not one of them.
In fact, if you are reading this, there’s a very high probability that you are wearing sweats, or loungewear of some sort. Why not? There’s literally nowhere to go.
Still, the predicament we find ourselves in does make one wonder — what becomes of our moods when we’re in a constant relaxed state?
I can’t answer that definitively, what I can say is that while venturing out in this Eclecticist cow-print number there was an instant pep in my step. What was this feeling? This pre-covid sensation? Was that…a waistline? It was revolutionary.
There were compliments, stares (it is a head-to-toe cow-print look after all) & head nods. More importantly, there was my own recognition and reveling in having taken the time to dress up.
The bold, loud nature of the ensemble made it impossible to ignore that this was an intentional departure from our new normal and I’m here to make the case that maybe we need more of that. Maybe the effort alone is enough to shake off that stale, static feeling.
So, while pulling out a bold, fun print may not cure any real problems you have, it may remind you that you have less to worry about than you think. It may remind you of the joys of getting dressed, and how this too shall pass.
Next time you’re feeling a bit underwhelmed, pull out your boldest print, sashay around your home or venture outside and let us know how it makes you feel.
