My Curated Wardrobe

This is my first time coming to the pier to take outfit photos in winter, and I'm obsessed. The moody vibes are definitely working for me. And gah, can I just say how wonderful it is to be back on the blog?? My health has a long way to go, granted, but having a space to show up for is doing wonders for my mental health. Even though my fatigue continues to be a constant struggle! Anyway, enough on that. I'm sure you guys don't come here to listen to my health woes. On a brighter note, and like insert all the confetti & champagne emoji's, Martin & I are renewing our wedding vows in February and I can not wait!! It's been quite the year, besides the pandemic, and this is the perfect way to sweeten all we've been through!  As for my outfit?! This is pretty much my uniform these days. Last year, I was wearing all the fancy clothes, starting to work in a more corporate setting, and now my life couldn't look more different. All of a sudden... I'm left wondering, does my blog name Curated Wardrobe, still make sense? But I suppose it does! I still love my small & meaningful wardrobe - I just had fancier plans for my outfits when I launched the rebrand. Haha! But here we are, comfy, cozy & really not mad about it.

Are you committing to any specific goals for 2021, friends?! No matter how big, or small, I always love having goals to work on. I feel like especially with all that's going on in the world, it's more important than ever! For me, feeling a sense of purpose, having tangible accomplishments (even if they're minuscule) is such a key component to mental health. If you've written out goals for yourself too?! I'd love to know what they are, so be sure to let me know in the comments below. Can not wait to start checking mine off & working on all the things. Yay! 

This was my first outing since last summer, thanks to my mononucleosis (insert eye roll & me waving my middle finger) and fingers crossed there will be many more on the horizon. I wish I could say I enjoyed every minute of it - but truth be told, when you have debilitating fatigue... enjoyment isn't exactly the first word that comes to mind. But my current plan is to go out for an hour, or two, and then rest for several days after. It's hard! However, focusing on the moments that are good, helps, and trying to take life exactly how it is + keep faith things will get better is where I'm currently at. Here's hoping this is the year I regain some semblance of health! 

A quickie post to wish you a very Happy New Year, friends! I think we're all rooting for glimmers of hope in 2021 and a return to normalcy. These days, I'm missing warmer weather and socially distanced visits outside with family. It's hard! But aside from the challenges, my hubby & I decided to celebrate New Year's Eve at home and make the most of it. I wore a festive dress, sipped Perrier and went to bed for ten. Ha! Clearly, my inner granny was out in all her glory. How did you ring in the New Year?! Judging by my Instagram we either drank with our spouse, roommate, or alone. But aside from the challenges, I'm still counting my blessings and toasting life as it is. Because after all, it's the life we currently have and staying optimistic makes everything a whole lot easier. Cheers to a slightly better 2021!! xo
