Guys, I don’t know. I’m depleted. I’m sorry.
If I’m being honest here, I’ve been avoiding the internet for the last few days, just trying to savor this sense of relief I feel after months and months of uncertainty and fear.
It’s weird; I thought I would be all “YAY LIFE” right about now. And while part of me definitely is like that, another part is highly cognizant of how draining this year has been… and my need to unwind and disappear and retreat into myself for a little while.
That sentence makes me hate myself, haha. But it is what it is. And the best I’ve been able to do these last few days is walk and breathe deeply and enjoy my family and clean. (😂)
You know: Channel the energy, or lack thereof… and wait for eloquence.
In the meantime, this is what I wore during Chicago’s last 70-degree November day:
- Corduroy Skirt: I can’t say enough good things. It’s on constant rotation, and much like my ruffled sweater, I’m embarrassed as to how often I wear it, haha. I would say that it runs TTS as I took my normal size. (Love this velvet one, too! And this buffalo check skirt is my most-worn fall skirt.)
- Plaid Scarf: SUCH a great find; so many plaid scarves feature holiday tartan prints, but this screams fall instead. (Here’s J.Crew’s tartan version, which I do obviously love as well. 😉)
- Long Cardigan: Sold out in the yellow, but the camel is even more versatile. Runs a little big. (J.Crew’s version here.)
- Leather Riding Boots: STUNNERS. I looked high and low for the perfect riding boots with a chunky heel, and these are it. I’ve walked miles in them this season and zero rubbing or pain. No break-in time, either! TTS. (These are fantastic as well though they sell out in a matter of minutes when they’re restocked in brown.)
- Crossbody Bag: The leather is amazingly soft. Really can’t get over the price today. It comes in black and red, too. (Leopard here.)
xoxo
