My hair finally started really growing back in, after having two kids. I lost a TON with my second kid, due to some serious depression and stress, so it came in very, very noticeably, in these, like, thick clumps of troll-doll hair that just stick up. I went to a salon just before everything shut down and they were like "Yeah no, there's....really nothing we can do to make this look better. You have to either shave the whole head or just wait."
Then the pandemic happened and we joked that my hair looked so bad that the world actually shut down just to avoid seeing it. In the beginning, I called it the Baby Shark, because a tuft front and center would stick up like a shark fin no matter what I did. Now, nine months in, the troll-doll patches are long enough to make it into a ponytail, just barely. If I leave my hair down it basically looks like I am wearing a slightly longer-than-normal yarmulke made of my own hair. As further lockdowns have started to happen again, I figured it kind of seems appropriate - just like the covid numbers, my hair looks even worse now than it did in the beginning, when we thought it was really bad.
Also I have not shaved my legs or armpits since July. I kind of really like the armpit hair. It looks better than my actual head-hair, these days.
My personal look is best described as Dance Extra From Fame. And honestly, it was before the pandemic, too. I like a dress over some LuLaRoe leggings that constantly fall down and thigh-high socks that come to my knees because I'm tall. I'm also a big fan of the jeans that literally fall off my body when I walk down the stairs because I (poorly) inserted some knit fabric into the waist a few years ago so I could sit comfortably. But it's fine; I just roll the waistband a few times when I'm cooking. EVERYTHING IS FINE.
I could buy new pants, but I ordered some stuff from Land's End and nothing fit and that of course meant I was a terrible person who deserves to die naked and alone and why do standing-only pants exist? I want to sit, Land's End. Without feeling like I'm dying.
I have several pairs of reading glasses in different strengths and price points strewn about my home. I splurged on a pair of Caddis that are only good for phone browsing (too strong for regular laptop use) but I like them a lot. Best look is when I have the caddis on top of my head and the Costco readers on my face, it makes for a great Zoom look.

So. That's things over here.

Samesies with the greys! I cut my hair chin length to avoid OGB territory though
