After making an organized calendar on poster board, paper, or a whiteboard, fill it in with different activities to look forward to each day.
7) Window Shop- Online
For more fun, choose a category with friends (red carpet, concert, etc.) and see who can come up with the best look.
8) Make a Friendship Bracelet
And learn the patterns you have always thought to be too complicated.
9) DIY old clothes
Paint the back pockets of your bland jeans- crop an old sweatshirt

Here's hoping for more open-mindedness, to more oddball gems in the mix. Just because you wear something fun doesn't mean you are not an individual of link integrity. Sentimental nostalgia goes against fashion's natural state of progress; it will always be good design and innovation that link move the link needle.
I first met Selch at a dimly lit bar in SoHo, hovering over link a table full of divers with Scotchlite dials, elegant gilt-dialed '40s chronographs, and pieces issued to obscure foreign military units all splayed out. link Most of them I hadn't seen in the metal before. In the pre-pandemic days, a few collectors gathered over pints every other Monday to chat link about oddball vintage references, show them off, and sometimes sell or trade them. Selch was a fixture in the scene.
I saw the press link images for this watch and just knew I had to see it in person. I mean, how could I deprive you all of seeing live images of link a 250-piece limited edition watch that will likely fade out of sight and mind link once all pieces are spoken for?
We were in the backyard link next to a wooden garage, sitting in simple chairs, the watches on a chair in between us. We both link wore masks, and the first thing I said to Williams after “Hello, nice to meet you” and “Sorry, this mask keeps falling down under my nose but I’m not doing it on purpose,” was “Why do link you have one watch that looks like this and then say, I want this other watch that kind of looks like that but is slightly different, and so on and so on?”
Similarly, the onshoring of consumption in China link will link accelerate, but will link be spread over several years and will therefore not offset immediately the declines seen elsewhere."
