Rooftop bar in the pandemic

 I haven’t dressed up to take blog photos since I went to Han Oak restaurant on Saturday, October 19, 2019. One year ago. From pretty much October to February, I had back to back business trips that kept me hustling with no time to dress up and go anywhere and take pictures. 

Then the pandemic hit and I stayed home all day every day and got really, really comfortable in pants without buttons or zippers. 

So when my partner and I had a free afternoon while the kid was at my mother-in-law’s, we went to the Hoxton Hotel to check out their lobby café – Lovely Rita – as well as Tope – their rooftop bar. 

I wore a dress I bought it Portland, but first wore in Portugal in June of 2018 (and haven’t worn since, a vintage denim jacket I bought in Seattle in 2015 and probably haven’t worn since, and carried a bag from Ippolito, which I ordered from Greece in 2018 and have never photographed.

Afternoon Lunch in the cold

It's darn cold outside and I am trying to last as long as I can without buying maternity clothes. I wore this stretchy non-maternity summer maxi dress with a long-sleeved shirt and then put a jacket and scarf over it.

Seattle Day Walk

Last time I wore this skirt was also in Seattle. The chocker I got at a gothic event and this was my first time wearing it out during the day. The jacket I found this afternoon and wore it at once because it was too cold to be out sleeveless.
