“NEW” OVERSIZED BLAZER AND SOME THOUGHTS I’VE BEEN HAVING LATELY

It’s Friday today and as the new year took over, I promised myself that I would try a little harder to get off my signature 2020 sweatpants look. Last year was sh*t and besides, we didn’t have anywhere to go since we have been between partial and full lockdowns for over 9 months.

This whole Covid ordeal made it hard for me to make an effort with my looks, since my life went from constantly traveling and going to events, to being on standby for an eternity. So much changed and I have find it a bit hard to cope, yet another part of me, the homey -slight introvert- side has been thriving in my little comfort zone. Despite this, I started noticing that I was feeling so unlike myself for months, maybe its cause my life drastically changed -temporarily I hope-, but not doing one of the things that truly sparks joy was really starting to weight down on me.

I have been styling myself for this blog for over 13 years, its something I love, something I know, something that triggers me creatively in a positive way, so as a challenge to myself, I decided to get off my sweatpants every now and then and style a look or two, even if I have nowhere to go.

This might sound superficial, but in this moment in time; when we are still fearful and locked away, where I haven’t been able to see my family in over a year and a half, where I went though a burnout that lasted me a good part of 2020, this is the moment where I was told I am supposed to do all these little things that spark joy. Whether that means a morning meditation, reactivating my yoga practice a few times a week, going for walks in nature or even styling looks even when I have nowhere to go. I need to do everything I can do get back to myself.

And you? How are YOU feeling lately?
