finally Feb

How is everyone’s February? January felt like an actual lifetime. I know people have mixed feelings about resolutions and setting new goals in January- but I always welcome any opportunity for a new beginning!

I used the New Year to do a fitness reset for myself, and with the help of also doing Dry January I am feeling really good!

For February, I hope to continue the healthy habits I’ve developed in January (working out 3-5 times a week, walking a lot, mixing cardio with strength-training, etc), and focus most of the rest of my energy on hosting another incredibleeee swap, which speaking of….

it’s aLmOsT TiMe

Larell and I have spent so many days in the dungeon cloffice QAing all of your contributions, sorting through hundreds of pieces of clothing, and making sure that the February Swap haul is in great shape!

There are sooo many sick pieces from shoes to necklaces, a whole pile of incredible belts that I am literally having dreams about, but there’s also just great t-shirts and blue jeans and other perfect basics to round out your closet!

This time we are renting a 20 foot U-haul to transport our inventory and I’m sure between loading, unloading, and actually driving this truck (?!?) much hilarity will surely ensue. We’ll be sure to capture it all on the ‘gram for some BTS.

closet cleanout

If you caught me on IG a few weeks ago- I also started making some space in my closet. Energetically it just feels good, ya know?

Things I am bringing to the swap include sunglasses that have had their time in the sun (lol), a scarf I haven’t worn in literally years, an LBD that’s ready for some other gal’s night on the town, and a secondhand navy blue dress I wore once to a wedding.

what I’m wearing

It’s still been absolutely freezing in NJ! I finally got to take my vintage leather coat I got at the Grab ‘N Go Markt in Soho out for a spin and it DID. NOT. DISAPPOINT! The best $35 I ever spent.

Last but not least- if you know me, you also know I’m always on the go, and a fanny-pack is the perfect bag for running errands! This black neoprene Dagne Dover one I got as a Christmas gift has been a lifesaver!

Have a great week gals, and if you’re coming to the swap then see you Sunday!
