Happy Holidays my sweet Friends! It’s been a bit since I signed in here to share my outfits and my thoughts with you dear readers and it’s because life has been a bit of a chaotic whirlwind these last few weeks… I’m sure many of you can relate 😉. We’ve had a lot of extra Dr. appointments and activities related to our activities and we’ve already celebrated some Christmas gatherings… and I’m officially a packing ninja.
I almost talked myself out of getting on here and writing one last post before the close of 2023 because at first it felt like one more thing on the to do list, but then I realized that I wanted to connect with you all one last time before we enter a new year.
We’ve had a fuller schedule than normal this Holiday season, but with ALL of the work that I’ve done this last year with my therapist it has felt lot more relaxed than any other year before since we had kids. My boundaries are so much more clear and my need for perfection in the way we celebrate has been greatly decreased so I’m actually entering this weekend with a good dose of excitement (and fingers crossed the kids will be over their recent bout of step throat). But I’m especially thankful for this mindset change because we’ve had some really fun events to attend with the the kids and for the kids and I haven’t been crazy yelling stressed out mommy that I’ve been in years past and for the whole families sake I’m thankful for that progress. I’m also thankful for those of you who are here with me through it all and show up faithfully (I see you). I also know so many of you are going through it too and are finding healing in your own journeys and I’m so glad we can find connection in that shared experience… it’s one of my greatest joys in life.
AND to bring a little levity to this post, I’m also just a little thankful I had an excuse to pull out some sparkly things to wear to some of these outings. I’m definitely not in a stage of life where we’re doing the full sequin glam thing (if I was, this is what I’d wear), but a little glittery accent with a pair of jeans is definitely where it’s at. So to end this style loving communities year off right I thought what better way to leave things than with a bit of glitz and glam and share the outfits I’ve been wearing lately that have that bit of extra sparkle:

And that’s it for the year friends! I hope you have a wonderful holiday week and that you are able to be cozy with your families or chosen families. ❤️ I’ll see you in the New Year!
Until next time,
Karin
