jumpsuit // headband // slippers c/o

I have talked before about how prominent and influential music has been in my life growing up. Coming from a family of musicians, singers, and dancers, music was always playing throughout the house in one form or another. Not only was the radio on or an instrument was being played, but my parents would put on their records for us to dance around to.  I have never owned my own vinyl record player, just a CD and tape player. Now, like the rest of the world, I use iTunes and Spotify to fill my apartment with music. However, I have been wanting to purchase a record player along with vinyls of the greatest artists like Elton John, The Rolling Stones, Beatles, etc.

There are days when the thought of wearing sweatpants again makes me feel depressed. Although it’s comfortable and we have nowhere to go, I want to feel put together again. I have shared how wearing jumpsuits help boost my mood in this past post here. Today lets talk about day dresses. Wearing a day dress is easy to throw on, feels just as comfortable as wearing sweats, and will keep you looking and feeling your best. It’s something you can lay around the house wearing with slippers or run to the grocery store in sneakers. After this is all over, and hopefully that is soon, you can wear a day dress from morning to night.

It’s no surprise that I love to dance. From my many Insta Stories to my TikTok (@blushandblooms), I have been sharing my love of dance throughout social media. Another part of my life that I haven’t shared as much is music. I come from a musical family; my mother plays the clarinet, my sister plays the drums, my grandfather was in the Ohio State Marching Band (TBDBITL), and other members of my family play the trombone, violin, guitar, flute, and the piano. My dad doesn’t play any instruments but he likes to draw and paint– a few of his paintings and drawings are hung up around my parent’s house. As for me, I am not as well-versed as other members of my family when it comes to playing instruments, but I can play the piano….well, beginners and intermediate.
