In January I heard a million and half people say that 2020 was over and 2021 was going to be better. Has it? My year thus far has been just as chaotic and stressful as last year. We're only two months in, so I haven't given up hope, but I am sort of white knuckling it and praying for spring.
Ok, we had a year of lockdowns and now a full week of snow days. Plus I had a cold and a broken toe to contend with while trying to feed the animals and water them and keep my house warm on my snow days. After all that, I'm good; I'm all set. I'd like to go outside now and do things again.
In the meantime, while 2021 gets itself sorted, One last red dress before February slips away. There are two times of year when I like to roll out the red dresses: Christmas and Valentine's. I thought of going out and taking some red dress pics in all the snow just to have them in advance for Christmas, but the temperature was in the negative numbers. I love taking blog photos but I also love not having pneumonia or frost bite, so snow photos will just have to wait.
I still haven't had a night out for Valentine's day or just for a general date night due to the extreme winter weather we're having and I am so, so looking forward to it when it finally happens. I know exactly where we're going and what I'm ordering and which art exhibit we'll be visiting afterwards. (A lot of the museums in our area are now open by appointment.)
The outfit is still undecided, but this red peplum wiggle dress from Collectif is high in the running. I have a similar dress from Stop Staring, but this one has a thinner fabric with a little more stretch and I love a peplum to bring balance to my shape.
I don't mind the wait for things that matter. In fact I think it makes them all the sweeter when they do arrive, and as I've mentioned, it gives me time to sort out all the details instead of, "Where do you want to go? I don't know, where do you want to go?" Nuh, no. When we do finally go out, it will be with purpose and confidence and expectation.
