December isn’t over yet, but my work month has wrapped up so … whooohoo! I still have not wrapped my head around the fact that we are going into a new decade (my fourth!) so I will be spending this “bonus” time at month’s end pondering this milestone. I should probably write something here – after all, this blog is turning 10 in May 2020 – if only because writing helps me to organize my thoughts. It’s safe to say that I am an entirely new person now than I was in December 2009, which is a testament to the impact of very small incremental changes over a long period of time. Though, to be fair, there were some big changes in the past decade as well, not least of them getting married, having kids, and changing career tracks.
But all that is a post for another day. On to the clothes:
Because December was a short work month, combined with the fact that I worked from home more frequently, I don’t have a lot to show you. My unofficial theme for the month was “subtle sparkle”. Not sure how “subtle” that ended up being, but I like the results nonetheless. Metallics are neutrals in my book, and a little bit of shimmer never hurt anyone.
Looking forward, we are coming up on my least favourite month of the year. January is usually a long, cold, hard slog. As with November (my other least fave), I am planning to be proactive about keeping a positive frame of mind. One of those ways may be to focus on a brighter palette for my outfits; more colour, less black than usual. We’ll see how that goes.
As far as the blog goes, I would love to hear from you about what topics or conversations you’d like to see on here – the better to help us both avoid those dreaded winter doldrums.
Happy holidays!
Happy New Year! I really like the December looks. In particular, you wore a lot of black items on the bottom but I like that you switch it up, with a few different types of black skirts, for example (or maybe dresses with tops layered on top?) which makes them cohesive but not identical.
Such a pretty month. Question: do you plan the color scheme for the month? I love the consistent color story I see in each of the monthly recaps.
Sometimes, but not always. I do have a fairly consistent colour palette in my wardrobe overall which helps. And I just wear a lot of black and dark colours, haha. For December, I definitely planned outfits around pieces that had some shine/sparkle to them.
