Now that we’re all home for at least another month what are you going to do with your time? I have been thinking I need more goals, more structure. Maybe not something revolutionary, but this pandemic will bring out some creative, forward-thinking ideas. Right now I am thinking of more fundamental things, that means reading a book a week. I just finished Simone de Beauvoir’s A Woman Destroyed. Kind of depressing so next up is Untamed by Glennon Doyle. I’m going to do more wardrobe posts and also get more of it down on my computer for later. I’m not an excellent baker but I can make decent cookies for my husband to take to the hospital. For the family I am going to try a new recipe/technique each week. Thinking gnocchi first. And exercise, always (if they close the parks in NYC I’ll be running on the streets) and long walks with the dog. Routine brings some calm, but also creating goals gives me some sense of achievement even when I have little control over what’s going on. What are you doing? Love suggestions to add to my list. #stayhome #staysafe #flairstyle

A Depression era motto my sister found the other day which seems applicable to everything now—from the clothes in your closet, to the beauty products in your bathroom to the food in your pantry. Many of us will become more thoughtful consumers out of necessity and that’s a good thing. #buylessbuybetter #shopyourcloset #livetheless #thewardrobeproject #flairstyle #consciousconsumer

Integrity. I am going to talk a lot about this going forward and it’s a requirement for anything I feature. This woman and her upcycled line @a.shirt.story has it in spades. “Fashion consumption must slow down,” says founder and decades-old friend Sasha Iglehart. “Resale is outgrowing retail and there is a reason for that. We all know there are unfathomable amounts of apparel waste. Buying pieces of quality and honestly developing a uniform of sorts is a small step we can all take.” For me it’s all about fashion that’s responsible and small businesses and #womenentrepreneurs who need our love (whether it’s now or later). We all need to learn to buy less, buy better.
