Three Weeks in Quarantine

 Dress: Tapestry Print Sweetheart Faux Wrap Dress by Leota (size 4L) via GB Shop 
Cardigan: MAK, gifted 
Shoes: Ann Taylor Loft, thrifted 
Earring & Necklace: Wendy Baker
Bracelet: Vintage
Photography: Super Boo & Me
Stats: 5'7" 55-50-64
I wore this dress the same time last spring & I recently purchased it from the Gwynnie Bee Shop. I adore these Sweetheart dresses & this is my favorite print by far...it makes me smile. 
Typically I am looking for a cardigan to go with my dress, but this was the other way around. MAK generously sent me five of their fabulous sweaters...& I thought this dress was a perfect match. 
I was pleased to see that I only wore the same tights as the first time I wore this dress...otherwise, I styled it completely differently. I never look to see how I wore a dress previously...because I'm hoping I'll come up with something new. 
My make-up with this outfit included...Urban Decay eyeliner in Mars; Sugarpill eyeshadow in Acidberry; Wildheart, Breakaway, & Stranded eyeshadow by UD; Stila liquid lipstick in Aria; Bite Beauty lip creme in Burgundy; & Suzi & The 7 Düsseldorfs nail polish from OPI. 
David & I did teletherapy while I wore this outfit...but I really just got all made up for this photoshoot. It got me out of the house for a short while! Our first location was blowing my hair all over the place, but around the corner...I was more protected. 
Last Friday...David & I took a drive to Watertown to pick up ground beef from one of the farmers from market. As we pulled up to the building with the meat...we were bombarded by chickens from all sides...if I had gotten out of the car, I would have made a video. These fat chickens were waddling as fast as they could towards us...turns out, it was feeding time. I laughed so hard at this unexpected delight. 
When I wore this dress last spring, it was to see Carsie Blanton at The High Noon...I watched her live on screen this week, playing at a lovely empty theatre. I also watched other live music...including John Davey & Dan Rodriguez. 
The supremely talented Wendy Baker made me this spectacular spring creation...I am in love...pictures cannot capture its beauty. 
I'm in pain (knee), I can't leave the house, nothing to look forward to...so it's no surprise I am buying jewelry...because house leaving will happen again. Some day. 
There will most likely be no forward motion to address my knee pain as long as the pandemic is here. I have an appointment in 2 weeks to get a promising shot (PRP) in my knee, but the likelihood of that happening is quite low as it is considered non-essential. So, I'll just keep buying pretty things.
