In order for me to be productive, I need multiple things on my plate. Fortunately, 2019 has decided to keep my plate bombarded, however, the consequences are impacting me—mentally, physically and emotionally. I enjoy every moment of it, but at the same time I can’t help and feel like an overworked machine. There hasn’t been any self care or much time to even relax. Although that’s typical of January, remember we all need to recuperate and take a step back to take care of ourselves. I’m learning to put my foot down and to ensure I receive that “me” time so that I don’t lose myself amongst work. It’s okay to have a lot on your plate, in fact it’s AMAZING. Taking on unique and multiple items, challenges you in such a way and it helps you grow, moreover, evolve. When it’s taking over your life though, you need to take a step back and remember what you signed up for so that you can prioritize and accomplish your goals in a healthy manner. Don’t be afraid to say no either. You know what you are capable of. Don’t let others try to take advantage of you by squeezing in some work. You know yourself best, you’re only human.
Top: I am wearing a suede crop top from Zara I bought a while ago. I love crop tops. They are paired best with high-waisted bottoms, which depicts the motherhood wardrobe. The rustic orange brings the perfect pop of color to your fall and winter wardrobe. Because we are in winter, I paired the crop top with a wool grey sweater from Uniqlo I purchased recently. Together you have a super cozy fit, which is perfect for a lunch or light dinner.
Bottoms: I recently purchased a co-ord outfit and decided to rock the skirt separately for this look. I purchased the co-ord from Boutique Liverpool. The skirt is unbelievable warm and so comfortable. It’s also high-waisted, so granted I’m all over it.
Shoes: I’m wearing my pointy toed suede booties by BCBG.
