Social Distancing is Kicking My Butt

I absolutely adore blogger Cynthia Andre. She's super cute, very stylish, and travels to the most beautiful places. Well recently while browsing on Pinterest I seen a photo of her where she is wearing this sweatshirt that said "bad outfit day" , and I immediately thought that my whole week has felt like a bad outfit day...

Unfortunately since COVID-19 hit the United States I've been feeling like a donut without the glaze. Pleasant, but uninteresting. Can I be real with you... this whole social distancing thing is kicking my butt! Not being able to go to my favorite places, and be with some of my favorite people really sucks. Coupled with working from home, and trying to hold down mommy duties, while so many unknowns still linger about. It all has really taken a toll on me emotionally. The last time I felt cute was about three weeks ago when I went to Target with my hubby, and youngest son. Shopping for nothing really, but wanting everything. The usual target struggles. I had on my comfy, high waisted, ripped leggings from Forever 21, and a casual cropped gray sweatshirt to match that I purchased from Boohoo. It was a good day. Not only because I looked good, but because I felt good.

Although lately, I've been feeling slightly mentally drained by the sudden, and drastic changes we all have had to adjust to. Now two weeks in and I'm walking around here in a bad outfit, and old Phylicia twist on a regular basis. My daily outfit typically consist of some pajama's or some over-sized shirt I've slept in.

I want to do better, and I will do better but its just going to take some time. I've noticed that taking long walks, reading books, writing, and doing visual art has really helped. I plan to do more things like this over the next few weeks. Until then, I'm asking God to give me the strength to put together a few outfits that look good, so that I can feel better. Help me take out my Phylicia braids at least twice a week, and more importantly focus on what I do have instead of what I don't. If you are having similar feelings

know that I am praying for you. We are in this together, and these bad outfit/mentally drained days won't last forever.
