Fashion 2020. One word. ATHLEISUREWEAR. 

I’ve always been a fan of comfy clothes! But this year I’ve worn my yoga pants more times than I can count. Working a radio morning show where I’m up before most of the city and home by 10:00 a.m., I could roll in wearing pajamas if I wanted to. Pre-COVID, I’d do that a couple times a week! But life was filled with meetings, lunches and concerts, so I’d have a great excuse to do my hair, makeup and throw on real pants. These days, not so much.

We had some family pictures taken a few weeks ago and I grabbed a pair of jeans from the side of the closet I hadn’t visited in many months. I had to brush off a thick layer of dust where they were folded over the hanger! I laughed, then got kind of sad. As much as I love wearing workout attire from morning ’til night, gosh, I miss getting dressed up sometimes. I miss a lot of things.

Life WILL feel normal again. I have to believe that. I’m holding onto hope. And when it does, I think I’ll wear heels and sequins to celebrate! Just maybe not at 4:00 a.m. ■
