It’s after Labor Day. Which means there’s nothing but new beginnings, right?

I can’t be the only one who harbors the expectation that one day we’ll wake up and THINGS WILL BE DIFFERENT. From birthdays (16, 21) to Christmas, to other live changing events, is it wrong to think that the new beginning will be so marked and different that it will be apparent to everyone? Just me?

Maybe new beginnings aren’t always loud and abrupt. Maybe, sometimes, the new beginnings take time, are gradual, and ease you into the new. Maybe, sometimes, they are both.

It’s about the time of year when I’m hungry for change, for new clothes (sweaters and coats), for movement on goals, and for things to generally be DIFFERNT. Here’s the thing about the new beginning after Labor Day: it takes it’s time. It will be hot (feel like summer) for at least another month or so. There’s a really good chance that when we wake up this week things are immediately new. So, if the new beginnings we seek are taking their sweet time, what can we do?

Dress for them.

This skirt is not new, but it is a new beginning that I’m excited about for fall! It’s reversible, which means it can always be new, I love the flare, and the big side pockets are perfect for all your storing needs. It’s from designer BreeLayne (you read about her on site here, seen some of her other pieces here, and can shop her here).

BreeLayne is one of my favorite designers, and her collections are sustainable, meaning that you can feel good about what you’re investing in.

If it’s my legacy to leave you with the confidence to wear your swimsuit with everything (yes, that’s a bikini top), my work here will be done. And let’s not forget how important it is to have a pop of color.

New beginnings? Maybe if we dress new –we try new things, or we dress for the things we want–I don’t think anything bad could happen in this skirt, the new beginnings will get here faster. I’m at least willing to try.
