Hello my friends! 

 I hope everyone is doing well and keeping  safe amidst the global pandemic. Given that this health crisis has disrupted our sense of normalcy and  halted most of our 2020 plans, it is more important than ever we take care of our mental and physical health. In doing so,  I found that engaging in creative activities is a surefire way of  fostering mindfulness, alleviating stress, creating a sense of purpose  and providing some sort of control in these uncertain times. 

During the lockdown period, I spent a great deal of time in my  kitchen trying new recipes and  making some of my favorite Trinidadian dishes.   Also at that time  congregating in public places like restaurants  and malls  were restricted, so  my husband and I started taking evening walks along the nature trails in our neighborhood.  I found these walks to be  truly therapeutic.

Yet the one tried and true creative outlet that brought  me great joy, was putting my outfits together, although at that time I was just getting dressed  to go to the supermarket and get take out.  Nevertheless, this simple task brought me some comfort and a semblance of normalcy. 

Hence, when some of the restrictions were lifted, I heeded all the necessary precautions and ventured out to take pictures for this blog post. Since the fashion choices of the moment are centered around more comfort and  less restrictions,  I thought it was fitting that I wore a flowy, easy breezy summer dress. Despite, its relaxed form, the darling angel sleeves and prairie-esque floral prints pivoted the stylish features of this dress.

The maxi dress silhouette meant that it can be styled with either a sweater, jacket or blazer thereby securing its position as the perfect transitional piece for the cooler months of the year.  Seeing that I wanted this dress to be the focal point, I kept my accessories at a minimum therefore only complementing my outfit with a burgundy hat and a pair of statement earrings.  

This concludes this blog post. Thank you for stopping by and reading. And remember continue wearing your masks and keeping safe. 

Love Always, 

Sal.
