Happy New Year! It's a fresh start, clean slate, and a chance to set new personal goals. I am most certainly not a life coach, but I do encourage setting a few new year resolutions for yourself. I'm not the type to make a list of my goals because I would end up throwing the paper away or losing it, ha! Instead, I treat this month as a time to mentally reflect and re-develop. I wish I could say eating healthier is a resolution of mine, but unfortunately I tried that last year and I am too addicted to chocolate and chips (separate, not together of course)! I learned a lot about myself this past year and took note of the things along the way that I wanted to work on. 

Aside from personal goals, I am experimenting with new necklines and perhaps wardrobe pieces that I wouldn't otherwise turn to. I love the criss cross detailing on this black caged bodysuit from Sheinside. The bodysuit does come with long sleeves, but the winter temps are catching up to us here in the tri-state so unfortunately outerwear is now a necessity. Thankfully this grey lapel coat is super sleek and not bulky! The feminine side of me wanted to pair the bodysuit with a fit and flare midi skirt, but I wanted to test out my new high-waisted skinnies on Saturday and felt this was the perfect combo! 

Time to get back to the grind. Wishing you a speedy and painless Monday.
