black and orange doesn't mean Halloween...

Lately, and I move into the new year (somehow, how?), I keep in my head what I read from a much bigger influencer than me discussing how she doesn't post *every outfit* or every day but tries to curate her feed to reflect a sort of 'best of' aesthetic of her outfits.

This must be the secret, the trick, the key to not feeling burnt out or burdened by your own sense of dressing 'cute' constantly. My plans are to try to post on here, lookbook and instagram somewhat regularly three or four times a week. I might add in some mirror selfies of other outfits that don't warrant or feel 'worthy' of an extensive photo shoot. Or sometimes, I just don't have the time or energy to fully style and shoot a look.

I don't why I was giving myself that pressure or push to post so often and spend so much energy on posting when it wasn't really feeling like it was doing much in terms of my interaction with my followers and my own sense of style achieving felt a bit stale from having to 'perform' so often.

It's okay and I need to give myself to grace to have a day or two once in a while when I stay in my gym clothes or just wear a very 'basic' jeans and t-shirt outfit with confidence and comfort...

That being said, I do REALLY love how this look turned out!

I'm wearing: thrifted turtleneck (unzipped), sweater vest from uptown cheapskate, thrifted vince camuto leather skirt, tights from anthropologie (two years ago), new troentorp outlet clog boots
