Quarantine Chic 🌸 • • • I finally got dressed today in a cute (but still comfy) outfit, washed my hair for the first time in weeks, and actually put on some makeup?? Who am I?? ✨ But in all seriousness, it was nice to feel a bit more put together today. I even spent the afternoon setting up and taking pics on my tripod (a bday gift that’s going to be getting a lot of use over the next few weeks)! I hope you’re all doing well and staying safe this weekend! • • #igdc #thanksitsRTR #florals #cozychic #comfychic #quarantinestyle #quarantinechic #socialdistancing #springstyle

Twirling through the week like...wait, what day is it again?? 🌸🌸🌸 • • • 📷: @occasionallyluxe #igdc #cherryblossom #thanksitsRTR #springstyle #springfashion

Introverts: Social Distancing Pros 💫 • • #NEWBLOGPOST - I’m revisiting a topic I covered late last year: introverts vs extroverts! Social distancing has brought this to the forefront of my interactions - as an introvert I’m enjoying the solitude while my extrovert friends tend to be going stir-crazy. It’s interesting to see how this situation effects people differently, so I wanted to share some introvert tips on embracing alone time. 💜 I hope you all check it out and find it helpful! And please share any other coping mechanisms you’ve found useful while #socialdistancing so far! • • 📷: @thepan #igdc #thedcbloggers #introvert #extrovert #ambivert #kindcollaboration #springstyle #boldblazer #patternblazer #boldpattern #springfashion #wfh #ownyourwonder #thanksitsRTR

Looking for ways to stay active while social distancing? 💪🏻 I’m someone who has always loved workout classes and uses going to the gym as a stress reliever. I find myself more physically and mentally balanced when I’ve exercised. 🏋🏼‍♀️ However, during this period of social distancing, I’ve had to try out new methods of staying active. I’ve never been one to use at-home workouts, but I’ve gotten really into them over this past week and I’m excited to share a few with you all! I’ve used YouTube and Instagram to take classes and follow great workouts from specific individuals. • Here are some of my current faves for at home workouts: @305fitness @madfit.ig @rrayyme @corepoweryoga @otfwestend • DC specific: @realignmentdc @yogadelsol @fuelbodylab @wardrobe_oxygen • I may add more to this list as I explore more virtual classes, but I hope these help get you started if you don’t know where to look! (And this picture was taken last spring - I can’t wait to travel again!!) #igdc #socialdistancing #athomeworkouts #athomeexercise #athomefitness

🌸Pastel Palette🌸 • • • The first full week into quarantine, and the thing I miss most so far is not being able to truly take advantage of the beautiful spring weather with my friends. I’d love nothing more than to break out my favorite spring looks and grab drinks with my besties on a rooftop bar. But in the meantime we’ll make do with FaceTime happy hours! 🙌🏻 • • I hope you’re all staying safe! 📷: @occasionallyluxe #igdc #thanksitsRTR #thedcbloggers #kindcollaboration

“You see, when the world turns upside down, the best thing is turn right along with it!” ✨🌀🎶 • • The world feels pretty topsy turvy right now, and I know we’re all feeling a dozen different things at once ranging from anxious to lonely to frustrated. I can’t help but think of the #TurningTurtle song from the most recent @marypoppinsreturns and how seeking a fresh perspective on a situation can help ease the feelings of dread. I’m constantly looking for new ways to bring a little extra joy into my life right now, whether it’s having flowers in my kitchen as I’m working from home or catching up with friends and family every night. In these topsy turvy times, I hope you’re all able to do things that ground you and make you happy! ✨☀️🌼 • • 📷: the delightful @thepan #igdc #thanksitsRTR #springstyle #floraldress #springflorals #orangedress #yellowdress #ownyourwonder
