Same here… also white jeans. I love them on other people, but I just know I'll get pasta sauce on them. Weird, because I wear white t-shirts and don't stress. Maybe because they're so easy to wash?

I don't have lounge wear either. I wear jeans during the week, and leggings on the weekend. Always have done. Though of course the days are blurring into each other, and I suppose it wouldn't make a bit of difference if I wore leggings on Monday, and jeans on Saturday, but I'm trying to keep as many things stable as I can.
But wow, those Soma PJs sound adorable! I wonder if they're still available on line! I haven't been buying clothes… just food & household necessities (and yes, I cound candles as necessities!) but I may head over there to look.
Wow, @papertiger , your garden is impressive! What's the big purple bush in the front? As you can tell, I have no gardening talent whatsoever.Thanks everyone for the swimsuit love - very reasonable price too.
Couldn't wait, already cut my hair myself this morning. I don't think it's too hard if it's all one length, long and wavy.
Worked inside for most of the day, lunch hour spent playing Bach (badly as usual). Late afternoon spent putting in raspberry bushes and watering. Onions in now, potatoes in, spinach and strawberries doing OK as are sage and rosemary put in last year. Apple tree is a dwarf variety but fingers crossed we get something. Not sure if the beans will ever take. DH did most but I am good at tilling and fetching water (our hose won't stretch that far)
H Evie and DH's MJ messenger used to keep our essentials like lip balm, sunglasses, phones etc. I think I just take a bag out to pretend I'm going somewhere. Wore one of my SS20 Plume en Fete too, felt very regal.
I didn't know you were a musician. What is your instrument?
This is such a thoughtful and thought-provoking post, @Rhl2987 . I've been wondering the same thing: certainly in the past month, I've changed my attitude toward "stuff," focussing instead on whether we have enough supplies in the house to keep us nourished and healthy. And also, I'm being our "cheerleader" to get us up and moving, either on the treadmill, or on neighborhood walks, so we don't just lie around watching the news and going crazy. And I've gotten DH into daily meditation, something I've been doing since last summer. I see all of these as positive habits: I wouldn't mind keeping them up in the long term. I hope these are lifetime lessons learned!
Your poor daughter! Andpoor you, having to be both her Mom and her pediatrician. That's got to be major stress on you.
My pulmonologist has just ordered me to stay out of the grocery store for at least the next couple of months. Eek! I did have enough food in the house for a few weeks, but she said I had to protect myself for a whole lot longer than that. I was worried about relying too much on GrubHub or Doorbell Dining for such a long stretch of time, and she agreed. She suggested that I sign up for InstaCart. So I did, and I'm giving it a try with a small order. Anyone else here have any experience with them?
That's a good idea. Mr. PG is just about the most low-tech person I know (I mean, the man still has a flip phone!!!) but I might be able to set something up.
Me neither. If I could only grow toilet pater and wholemeal spaghetti I'd be sorted
This was the second on my wish list, but didn't know if the colors would work for me, so I didn't dare. I have CW05 (white, blue, red) which is exactly right for my hair, skin tone, eyes, and clothes. Now you've inspired me to pull it out!
Such an excellent outlook! I'm trying very hard to live in the moment, except when I get scared that we'll run out of something essential like Tylenol or eggs. I think I'm making too many lists.
Thank you. I think you must mean the rosemary because it's in bloom atm. We had onion and spinach omelette tonight, no supermarket needed
My degrees are in music and used to tour internationally as a guitarist, but I'm grappling with the piano for the moment. Poor piano.

I remember yours, absolutely gorgeous.
I gave my H scarves a break today and wore Leonard, Paris. I think the scarf depicts orchids (typical of the brand if you know it). My mother had a Leonard dress in the 70s, shame she didn't keep it. I think I like the prints even better than most Pucci.
The omelette sounds delicious. You are multitalented! How wonderful to be musically inclined and be able to play more than one instrument.Thank you. I think you must mean the rosemary because it's in boom atm. We had onion and spinach omelette tonight, no supermarket needed

That would be likely. For a perfect look it doesn´t only need the perfect clothes but the perfect and true to time underpinnings, too.
Wow, that´s adorable! Hoarder me only went ahead and put all the extra coats into newly bought clothes bags to keep them safe from dust. I had ordered 30 bags thinking this would be plenty.... oops... 2 left, but haven´t been to the storage house, yet and there are definetely more coats and clothes....
Meanwhile I really try not to buy any uncomfortable shoes anymore.
As most of my shoes are second hand it´s still try and error, but I try to sell on what does not work for me.
When it comes to true vintage shoes they are more collector´s pieces and comfort is secondary.
Most of these shoes will not really be worn anyway.
I can't imagine the post office being closed for a long period. I still get most of my bills by mail. I'm still sending out packages when I sell something. I'm getting lots of deliveries of household items and groceries. If there wasn't delivery, I don't know what we would do. We are too afraid to go shopping.
There are specialty retailers that sell styles, including underwear and stockings, from the 30s - 70s.
DH wants me to cut his hair. I'm dreading it. I usually trim mine but it is just straight across. When my son was little, I used to cut his hair but I wasn't very good at it. Girls' hair is much easier.I may have to do this too… for Mr. PG, and also for myself. If I had a one-length hairstyle, I wouldn't be worried. But I've got short slightly wavy hair, which I can't imagine doing. And I've never cut a man's hair. Maybe I should wait until our hair grows out, and do a bowl-cut? With an actual bowl?????
I love the look of white and I keep buying white shirts. Many of them get stained the first time I wear them. White jeans can get stained whenever you sit down even if you don't spill anything on them. The gray jeans I bought a few months ago got stained from sauce the first time I wore them, and it didn't completely wash out. It was stupid of me to eat with my plate in my lap in front of the TV.
I have placed 2 orders with Instacart. I'm happy with the service. The tomatoes they picked out were nice. I was afraid they would give me lousy produce. They don't always get everything on the list. You can pre-pick substitutions. One thing I can't understand is sometimes I would rather have the substitution but it isn't a choice. It is helpful if you stay by your phone when they are actually shopping because they will communicate with you, send you pictures, and you can approve substitutions. You can watch as things are found in the store. The first order was delivered in about 2 hours. The second order took 36 hours - they were so backed up.
