Mood: Doubtful
Weather: Cloudy & Chilly-ish
Outfit Purpose: Out & About
Style Savvy: Instead of reaching for a pair of jeans in any wash or color, I opted for a jacquard navy and black cigarette pant, pairing a white cotton button up shirt, Elmer Ave. blazer and Vince Camuto heels. A white long sleeve button shirt is a necessity in a woman’s closet. The one I’m wearing can be worn both dressed up or casual because of the fabric, it’s meant to be slightly wrinkled.
Personal Style: Career Chic
What’s Going On: I needed to power up my outfit today because I’m allowing myself to go into negative zone. Sometimes dressing a certain way can help shift my mood or outlook for the day. I hear all kinds of chatter in my head saying mean things to myself like “you’re a loser” “everyone thinks you’re a fraud” “nobody likes you” “what the hell are you doing with your life” and so on, and so on.
I rarely have these days but when I do it’s harsh. I just need to go where the love is if I can’t find it within myself and that’s why close friends and family are uber important. Relationships are key. It also doesn’t help that I’ve been having insomnia again. My schedule has definitely been off track.
After some deep chats with my girlfriends, the doubts about myself started to fizzle but what really made it melt away was this email from a woman I don’t know. She said she started reading my blog, that some parts made her cry – thanking me for sharing with the world my feelings and emotions about divorce, feeling lonely and recovery.
She also said that she was deeply moved and impressed and wish there were more women like me and also men who truly appreciate gems like me. What an amazing email to receive just when I needed it. I mean truly needed it. Thank you!
