It’s my birthday. And in the past I’ve been a BIG birthday person. Lately, not so much. It’s not that I don’t want to treat myself. Or have goals and plans for the next year. All of those things are very much true. I’ll be spending the day doing some of my favorite things.
But. This year, more than champagne and presents, I’m focusing on finding myself. The pandemic. Some changes. While I haven’t left myself, there were a lot of times this past year when I didn’t feel like myself. Maybe it’s that I’m starting a new chapter, but I’m my home and I want to feel like me. Finding myself, admist all the changes and chapters, is my gift to myself this year.
How does one find yourself?
I’m starting by wearing outfits that make me feel good. Like me. This pink set made me happy. The color. The cut. When I put it on, I felt like me. I went to the park and shooting felt good. For months, outfits have sometimes been hard for me (which is very NOT me). And shoots have been hit or miss. To feel great in an outfit and great shooting- it was a moment of finding myself. Which makes the outfit a new favorite, and completely worth it.
One outfit (even in linen and in this pop of color) isn’t going to be the end of finding myself. Or creating myself again. This process will happen over and over- one outfit at a time. But. I’m excited about this start. And this set.
Here’s to finding myself- and ourselves! And another trip around the sun!
