The Perils of Winter Fashion Blogging

Fashion blogging in winter can be perilous. Especially taking good photos. Especially when one has a history of taking bad photos.

What does aging gracefully actually mean? And what does it have to do with the pandemic, and the long weeks and months of lockdown?

I’m writing about COVID angst, being bundled up, and my inauguration outfit today. And amazingly those topics are all related.

I’m styling pieces from my anti-haul haul. And talking about the whole idea of hauls. Just when I was sure so that term was dead and buried.

We’re in for a hard winter this year. Not in the old way. Not because the temperature will drop to -30° C. But in a new way because of COVID.

I’m mostly a slow fashion devotee. I buy quality and keep my clothes a long time. But lately I veered over into the fast fashion lane.

I just dropped in to say Happy New Year. And to chat about nothing much, really. It’s amazing how lovely it is to chat about nothing much.

It’s January 2021, time for my slow fashion review of 2020. What I bought, and what progress I’ve made in becoming a more ethical shopper.
