Keep it stylish
The other day I was in Forever 21 and as I left, the change room associate said, “Just so you know, we open at 6am on Friday”. I gave her a puzzled look, responded “Thanks?” and walked away thinking “Why would Forever 21 be opening so early on Friday?”
It took a while but then dawned on me; Black Friday – apparently has become a big thing in Canada. I hoped it would never come to this.
When I got the call that I had landed a corporate gig, I was ecstatic. I couldn’t wait to get back to office life and be mentally stimulated and challenged again, but it wasn’t long after I popped some celebratory bubbles that I thought, “I have nothing to wear!”.
Luckily, as an avid blog reader, I knew just where to turn to for 9-5 style inspiration.
Last year on November 17, my family and I laid my grandpa “Don” to rest at Ft. Snelling Cemetery in Minneapolis, Minnesota – the same city he came into the world in back in 1921.
I had never been to a national graveyard before and to say it was overwhelming would be an understatement.
The graves seemed to be never-ending, and blanket of snow that welcomed us on arrival gave the illusion that maybe they never did.
A girl can dream.
My closet looks nothing like the ones in the magazines, or the above picture for that matter (which is Whitney Port’s closet if you were wondering).
Personally, I would refer to my closet as poorly designed, cramped and a source of mild frustration but also, one of my favourite places.
I love waking up and deciding what I’m going to wear, but seeing as I don’t have a lot of space, I need to make sure I use all items within.
I’ve had one hell of a year!
I would even be so bold as to say that this has been the best year of my life – but over the course of this incredible year, I haven’t exactly treated my body as it deserves to be treated.
From overindulging in edibles to my lack of exercise, the boozy drinks… the many…. many boozy drinks, I ended October feeling that I need to overhaul what’s going into my body.
