Day 42 #isolationcreation ⠀
I received a new dress in the mail, a very generous gift from sustainable, independent female owned brand @cortana.inside. I have almost forgotten about shopping. Kevin marveled at how small the credit card bill was this month. I mean, such a guy. That’s what a global pandemic will do, tighten the purse strings. I try not to even look in places I know will leave me in “want”. What do I have to buy something to for anyway? We are at home. Every day I am faced with a closet of clothing desperate to be worn. I play dress up to match my photo sets, because it makes me feel respectful of the curation not unlike dressing for an important business meeting or church. It makes all this fashion I love so much not feel wasted.⠀
The brand of this dress is based on sustainability, sustainability... something I’ve thought a lot about recently. When we come out of this total life reset and after we’ve broken all our spending habits, I want to really use this moment to redefine what kind of “consumer” I will become. What is it that I want to support, that I hope to see survive? We each have that power big or small to make those choices that impact people’s lives and our plant. This is something weighing on my mind as I prepare for defining the future on my own terms. ⠀
This photograph wasn’t made for that though. ⠀
Kevin revealed to me that it was Friday! Friday’s were always good day to have a drink in a previous life, now it certainly seems like everyday has become Friday....⠀
