Stepping into 2017: New Year, New Outfit

in Fashion, Outfit Post on 01/04/17

Stepping into 2017, wearing the Madewell anthem long-sleeve v-neck tee in stripe and GUESS skinny jeans

And just like that, 2017 has arrived! New year, new outfit, new everything! I can’t believe that the holidays are over and that it’s back to the grind. It’s also that time of year when everyone talks about their resolutions and goals. I briefly touched on some of my goals in my 2016 year in review post, but otherwise, I don’t set resolutions. Let’s face it. The novelty of the new year, new you wears off pretty quickly. Instead, I think it’s important to always be open to making positive changes. That being said, I do use January as a time to reflect. You can come pretty far in a year!

As I read the comments on my last post, I realized that a number of you didn’t know that I work for myself now. I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised. I didn’t announce it, or anything like that. That didn’t seem necessary to me. I’m also not really sure how to summarize my job title. Sure, I’m a full-time blogger, but I also do freelance design, as well as social media management. In all honesty, I also don’t make enough money from blogging (yet), to equal a full-time income. It’s all a work in progress.

Rather than focusing on what I’m not doing, I take the time to reflect on how far I’ve come. I took a trip down memory lane during one of my first shoots in Florida this year. I stayed in the same place that I did three years ago, when I was only a few months into blogging. Naturally, I had to take a look at the posts from back then. Yikes. It was cringeworthy! I shot my photos with a tripod, self-timer and my kit lens. I didn’t know much about photography, nor did I edit my photos. Regardless, at the time, I loved how it all turned out. Oh, and if you’re curious, you can check out some of the posts here, here and here.

Remember: it’s important not to compare yourself to others, but to compare yourself to yourself.

Three years later, I’m still proud of all of the content that I produce, but I think these shots turned out a lot better! Of course, this time, my dad was my photographer instead of a tripod.

Of course – New Year, New Outfit:

If you don’t care about my ~blogging journey~ and all of that fun stuff, let’s chat about today’s outfit! It’s a simple look, but totally in line with my everyday style.

When I got down to Florida, I ordered a few things from Madewell. It’s one of my favourite stores and they don’t have any Canadian locations. I was eager to place an order without the fear of paying an arm and a leg in duties. This striped long sleeve top is definitely a new favourite. It’s so soft and cozy, without looking sloppy. By the way, it’s on super sale, so you should probably buy one.

I’m also wearing a new pair of GUESS jeans. I bought my first pair of GUESS jeans a few months ago and since I love them, I couldn’t resist another pair. Their denim is super comfortable, but also very flattering. If you haven’t tried GUESS jeans before (or if it’s been a number of years), you should give them a try! I went to their spring/summer preview a few weeks ago…and there’s so many cute pieces coming out in the next few months. I can’t wait!

I hope your first day back to the grind was a good one!

2020 has without a doubt been a year we will all r 2020 has without a doubt been a year we will all remember. It’s been a big rollercoaster, but there’s no one else I’d rather ride it with than @woodley.matt 🥰

We’ve endured so.many.challenges this year...but we’ve also had some of the best and most exciting moments of our lives this year.

I still can’t believe we bought a house, got engaged AND got a puppy this year (all within a month)! 🤯

Nobody knows what 2021 will bring, but what we do know is, it will start the same way 2020 ended: at home.

I also know we will finally be finishing and moving into our new home in early 2021, and I CANNOT WAIT!! As for wedding plans...ehh, it’s a little tricky to plan these days, so we’ll cross that bridge a little later 😜 

Wishing you all a safe and happy new year at home! 🥳 (which I’m totally okay with - I’m a 👵🏻 anyways)

I picked up knitting needles for the first time in 10+ years (maybe more?!) at the start of the pandemic. I bought a DIY unicorn kit and it took me months before I got around to finishing it. Still, I enjoyed it. 

So, this year, I thought it would be fun to knit up a few gifts for Christmas presents. 

My next project? I’m going to attempt to knit myself a cardigan. 🤭😲🤗

Christmas 2020 - like many things this year, not “normal,” but we made plenty of memories. 

We had a low-key Christmas morning, filled with Bailey’s coffee, Miller snuggles (and weird facial expressions) and cinnamon buns. We finished off the day with a Jewish Christmas dinner: Chinese take out!

I’m finishing up the last of the gifting projects and then it’s onto baking cookies! 💁🏼‍♀️

I *think* I know what I’ll be baking...but I’m having a tough time committing 🤪

Happy thanksgiving!! 🍂🍁 Even though it hasn Happy thanksgiving!! 🍂🍁

Even though it hasn’t been a “normal” Thanksgiving weekend, there is so much to be thankful for. 

One (very) small thing I’m thankful for is that I took Matt’s advice on forgoing my usual butter-only pie crust recipe for one that includes shortening. I used the pumpkin pie recipe from @sallysbakeblog - including the mix of shortening and butter in the crust. I think it was my best pumpkin pie yet! 
(The Turkey was fantastic too of course 😏)
