new year; new goals!

happy 2018, everyone!

in past years, i have greatly enjoyed

making (seemingly lavish) NYE plans, dressing

up, and ringing in the new year in high style.

this year, however, an oversized sweatshirt,

netflix, and gluten free pizza sounded far

more appealing. perhaps this is due to my

age? or a busy holiday season?

regardless, i skipped the fuss and kindly said,

'no, thank you,' to a few holiday party 

invites. while i didn't indulge in pizza,

i was seated on my couch at 12:00am and

could not have been happier!

how did you spend your NYE? i shall

live vicariously through you.

2017 was a busy, yet productive year:

i experienced a change (or two) in positions

at work, moved north of the city, visited

lake chelan and las vegas, enrolled in a certificate

program at the university of washington,

and spent a great deal of time with family and friends.

i also enjoyed sharing outfits, style tips,

and my daily adventures with you (here!).

in 2018, i look forward to continued

career development, completing 

the aforementioned certificate program, pursuing

a physically and emotionally healthy lifestyle,

and, of course, devoting a large chunk of my free 

time to creating new blog content. in fact, this blog is 

currently 'under construction' (re a new domain

and overall design). i am eager to share the 

details very soon!

additionally, i hope to continue 

experimenting with new (and old) fashion

trends; 70s inspired fashion, i am looking at you!
a coworker and dear friend of mine

has sworn off purchasing new items in 2018. 

i find this is an admirable endeavor, though 

i am not sure i possess enough self-discipline.

however, i will continue to purchase

clothing, shoes, and accessories second-hand,

as i have done in the past.

these boots were a thrifted find, and

i have been wearing them on repeat!

cheers to a new year!
do you typically set new goals or
outline new year's resolutions? i prefer goal-setting
and purchased a beautiful notebook to document these goals
(and to hold myself accountable).
xoxo.
