My mom had been diligently protecting my wedding dress in a closet back in Ohio. When my parents decided to move, they needed to do some major purging. So, the dress flew out to California and into my closet. Since the day it arrived I have been joking with my husband that I would put it on one day. He always looked confused and wondered what the the world I was talking about or why I would want to put it on. He clearly doesn’t have the nostalgic sentimental bug I have. Plus all I was really thinking about was making some photographs, thinking it would be fun.
Fast forward to COVID-19 and the whole #stayhome #quarantine. The other day my friend at Hi & Hello Photography posted Jared Leto’s instagram of him wearing a dress with the caption “Getting dressed to go to the living room”. Feeling inspired, I knew that it was wedding dress time.
I decided on Monday that Wednesday would be the day for the wedding dress. My husband kept thinking he was forgetting our anniversary or something but I assured him it was really just for the art of it. After posting to Instagram, I decided it needs to be a regular occurrence so I will don my wedding dress each Wednesday and maybe wear something fancy on Fridays. Won’t you join me? Tag along with #letsplayquarantinedressup - no wedding dress required, just put on something fancy.
