Dress Your Age?
Is this still a thing? No, no it is not – hence the question mark. I’m a proponent for dressing to make YOURSELF happy. As long as you feel comfortable and confident, own it! I’m not a very adventurous dresser in my day-to-day (I am an accountant afterall), but I like to experiment on weekends and for special occasions to show a little personality. Even at my age.
Annual Reflection
At the start of each year, I’ve gotten into the habit of reflecting on the past year and setting goals for the coming year. I find it helps me express gratitude for the good things that happened and that I accomplished – big or small. Also, I like to set goals (not resolutions) to continue to drive me forward. Enjoy!

Let me know in the comments – enjoy!

We’re half way through January (already!) which means there is just about a more month until Valentine’s Day. Why am I posting about V-Day, as a single person, you ask? Because why not! Singles can celebrate love too and we need to now more than ever.

The Pandemic & the Apparel Industry
Lockdowns, line ups, job uncertainty and the overall economic downturn have negatively affected many industries, not the least of which is apparel. While online shopping was way up (albeit temporarily), we’re still saving more than spending. The pandemic, however, is not the whole story. Here, I explain why I think the pandemic just accelerated what was coming and how we might improve it going forward.
