The combination of a slower work pace and winter can also be a tricky one for me... since I don't love winter. I suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder with the lack of sunshine and so I'm always combatting that as well. As I've gotten older I've become much better at dealing with it. My favorite way is a vacation! But since that's not always possible I focus on the smaller things that can get me through the season sanely. Warm baths, more reading time, lots and lots of tea, focusing on cozy homemade meals like soup, weekends by the fireplace with movies and of course, the early sunset is a great excuse to start pj hour that much earlier. I'm a home body by nature so I also focus on being thankful for spending more time at home. This is just what works for me... how do you handle slower times in life? Or winter in general? I always love to hear others' ideas.

2019 is the year of the neutral... again. I think I have said that for like 5 years in a row now. Haha. Hey, if it isn't broken - why fix it? You gals know my deep love for simplicity and neutrals when it comes to my wardrobe. I can't resist. Expect to see a lot more of it in 2019. Neutrals are not only comforting for me to wear but they are also so easy to mix and match. Outfits are simplified, my morning routine is simplified and in the end I feel like deciding what to wear is suddenly the easiest decision I will make all day. Even though the decision is "easy" it's by no means mechanical or uninspired. Quite the opposite... neutrals inspire me endlessly! Here I paired a simple grey turtleneck sweater (that I have been wearing tons!) with a classic camel coat (which is also getting a lot of wear this winter!). I finished it off with distressed jeans (similar or similar), which are always a favorite, and these wedge boots that have made my winter looks much more stylish and practical this season.
