Can you guys believe that the year is almost over? Let’s face it, nobody is going to be sad to see the end of 2016 (worst year ever, yes?) but it’s still surprising how quickly it seems to have gone by. I think this has been the first year when I found myself thinking, “I need time to slow down”. My kids are now 3 and 5, which are amazing ages, and I want to hold on to their preciousness with all my might, even though I know it’s futile. That saying, “the days are long, but the years are short?” I lived the first part of that when the kids were babies (and, boy, were the days ever long then), and now I’m starting to realize the truth of the second part.

Enough mushiness, let’s get to the outfits:

one, two, three
one, two, three

four, five, six
four, five, six

seven, eight, nine
seven, eight, nine

ten, eleven, twelve
ten, eleven, twelve

thirteen, fourteen, fifteen
thirteen, fourteen, fifteen

sixteen, seventeen, eighteen
sixteen, seventeen, eighteen

nineteen, twenty
nineteen, twenty
I played along with Nicole‘s Minimalist Closet Game this past month, and it was a lot of fun. Not only because it helped me de-clutter my closet (working on a post about that), but because I loved seeing all the participants’ interpretation of the daily prompts. It made me think that doing an IG remixing challenge would be a lot of fun too. Anyone interested in playing along?

As for the rest of the year, my non-work goals are to survive the planning of my office Christmas Party (less than a week away, eek!) and to finish the edits on A Temporary Engagement. Most of my Christmas shopping is done, and we are not planning to host any major get-togethers at our house, so the holidays should be pleasantly low-key and relaxing (work gods willing!). A nice way to end a troublesome year — and welcome a hopefully much more promising one.

3 Comments on What I Wore: November 2016

  1. That first row of pictures is some solid work, I love all three of them!

    I was going to say that 2016 wasn’t that bad for me but then I remembered the pneumonia and all the running events I missed. le sigh! Still the comeback was good; PBs, 3 marathons in 12 days and knowing to ease off when I felt under the weather.

    But yes in the world in general 2016 seems to have sucked big time!

  2. That red dress in outfit twenty is fabulous!

    I’m doing some event planning for my job as well, nothing too huge, just 20 some people for a big group dinner, but we had a very serious budget limit considering we wanted it in Manhattan somewhere. My personality is not at all suited to event planning as I get needlessly anxious about all the tiny details, yikes!
