In the past week I've learned a couple of things that it probably shouldn't have taken me this long to figure out. First up is how to correctly use the diffuser on my hair dryer. Second, how to roll my shirt sleeves so they're comfortable and don't have to be readjusted all day long. Speaking of shirts, raise your hand if you love a good plaid button-up for fall and winter. This one from Old Navy is so soft and comes in lots of other colors. One thing about plaid is that if you don't wear it just right, it comes off looking like a lumberjack. To avoid that, try wearing a statement necklace, and if you're wearing it with jeans try some with an interesting detail like my raw hems. I also tied mine up to keep it a little more on trend (although I will say I tied it a little shorter than I intended).
I'm your mom friend who's probably overdressed for the occasion, would rather drink Mountain Dew than wine, and definitely stayed up too late reading last night. Thanks for joining me on this crazy journey!
When it comes to winter, I am by no means a style expert. I live in the South, after all, where true winter rarely comes to call these days....
January Book Club Pick
This book is supposed to be like a combination of The Echo of Old Books and The Lost Apothecary, the January picks of the 2024 and 2023 book clubs respectively. I really enjoyed starting the year with those books, so I figured I would continue the tradition this year! This book is about three strangers: Opaline, Martha, and Henry. None have been the main characters of their own stories, but that all changes when they discover The Lost Bookshop in Dublin and are transported into a world of wonder.
