New Year, New Coat

New Year, New Coat

I've recently started cycling and one of my favorite instructors said that she thought New Year resolutions were bullshit. And I kind of loved her for that. 

I have never been the one to actually follow through on any resolutions I make. It's a struggle to even follow through my plans for the week, whether it be cooking a meal that I've set my heart on, or even sometimes waking up early enough to workout. Sometimes I'm so crappy that I cancel out on plans because I'd rather be in my pajamas while watching Dateline in bed... even though I keep telling myself that it'd be nice to make an effort to be social once in a while. 

Truthfully, if I can make it through this life being a better version of myself than I was last year, or even just yesterday, I think it's good enough for me. I realize that every day is a gift and if I can just be kind to myself, kind to the people I love, kind to those I am fortunate enough to meet during my time here on earth... and do things every single day that make me happy, then that seems like a win all around in my book. The triumphs that have made me feel accomplished this past year have all happened to me because I was doing something I enjoyed and therefore was (kind of) good at. It might not have paid me as well, or it wasn't considered 'stable' enough on paper, but I was living my best life. And shouldn't life ought to feel that good? (Or maybe it just feels good to be vague?) So, no real resolutions for me this year. 

Except maybe just eat more tacos.

As part of the coat series this winter season, here is my second pick! I love the color and how soft and light the coat feels even though it is thick and incredibly warm. Pretty genius if you ask me.

Tomorrow is the start of spring semester for me and I'm excited to be in school again. Last summer, after I spent three months styling projects around the city, I decided that fashion styling was most likely not for me. Instead, I've turned my focus more on the business side of fashion and hopefully one day, I'll be able to start a small business of my own. We'll see!

This coat is Zara from last season.

Just five more sleeps until Christmas! Without a doubt, this is my most favorite holiday ever. I love spending time with family, all the Christmas movies, the baking,  sending cards, the decorations... I could just wrap myself in obnoxious Christmas spirit for the rest of my life and be ok with it.

Another thing I could wrap myself in for the rest of my life is this coat! Look at it! It's perfection in all of its pink, faux furry glory! As part of a project showcasing and styling coats this winter season, I'm happy to choose this beauty as my first choice.

This coat is an exclusive from Story of Lola, which recently went on a huge sale! Unfortunately, because of said sale, it is now sold out. But luckily, I found one for you that is similar and because I like to find a good bargain, this one from Choies  is also on sale.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas. Don't forget to hug the ones you love extra close and tell them you love them. That always seems to be the best gift of all :)
