sloth upgrades

...less homeless, more western. I've finally broken in these new two-tone cowboy boots from Ganni and I plan on wearing them until 'I can't no mo' ok. I feel like this particular boot trend was given an extension in popularity thanks to that one rhinestone cowboy one-hit wonder. 

I also plan on making use out of my Phillip Lim cropped leather jacket that I've had for at least a year now. It's so lightweight, yet so substantial, perfect for those cool fall days where you might need a sweatshirt but also don't want to look like a total slob. Speaking of sweats, my Juicy Couture wardrobe that I've managed to acquire before the company completely folds on itself (there is literally NOTHING TO BUY on that website it's actually kind of hilarious) will be making frequent appearances this season; this one is my matching silver velour set. 

With accessories I'm still left wanting...

I'm super happy with this oversized black patent leather tote from Acne despite hunting for something more colorful (they actually came out with a different version of this bag literally a decade ago or something, it was embossed and everything and so pretty and I was too poor to even THINK about buying it). I've spruced up its minimal design with a Fendi bag strap I found in a Myteresa sale and a Balenciaga key chain I've wanted for a few seasons from the Net a Porter sale. Hopefully before the season is over I can collect a few more items of interest namely the ever-evading pink bag. The sales better be good this year.

2017 was...interesting to say the least.

It was just a lot right from the start...and all the way to the end. All the linear parts of my life, primarily work, remained stable while other things would just...happen.

The list of unfortunate events is too long for my liking and I'd rather not recount any of them here, but I survived...not all of my clothing did--that Acne leather jacket has since been replaced for example along with many other items lost in said unfortunate events. Despite what I tend to post on this blog, I have never been truly materialistic. I do not attach my worth or any real meaning on to things like I do with people. 2017 really proved to me that material things of good quality are still replaceable, but good people are hard to find.

I did what I could to deal with it all; I took a couple trips to step away (and see Britney Spears! Will share later of course) and to reflect and recoup. I did this so often that I don't have any real 2018 resolutions because I was able to find my resolve in all those moments of being knocked around a bit. There's something special about finding a way to settle down after disruption. Yes, I did cry; yes, I did scream at people; yes, I did stay in bed longer than my usual sloth self...but I'm not drained, or defeated. 

Finally, I've come to believe that the saying 'life goes on' doesn't really become apparent until you have watched it wither away right in front of you. However, watching death front and center doesn't make me afraid, it makes me even more ready to live. 

Happy New Year!

 ...I still think these look more lowkey than everyone who has something to say about them every time I wear them.
