I am having a rough month. Yes, I know we’re only six days in, but December really isn’t working for me. I tried cheering myself up with some hot pink:
And it almost worked. But, that smile is pretty forced – this is how I really felt today:

It’s not the outfit’s fault though. I actually really like the hot pink sweater (Talbots, thrifted) layered over the blue and navy dress (thrifted) with the blue tights (DKNY via Nordstrom) and tasseled booties (Seychelles via Nordstrom). I’m just gloomy, is all.
Although I wasn’t able to put on much of a brave face today, bear with me; I usually find my smile again after not too long.
I hope you’re all having a happier Tuesday than I,
Gracey


Gloomy feeling or not, you still look gorgeous! I love that sweater. I hope your cheer returns!

Oh hun, I hear you. I've burst into tears at least twice today. December is a rough one--especially the beginning, when the holidays are more stress and less celebration. You look beautiful, though, and I always love fuchsia with navy.
ReplyDeleteOn noes, Gracey! I hope you feel better soon. November was that kind of month for me; I felt like throwing a huuuuuuuge party on December 1st. I'm sending happy thoughts your way!
ReplyDeleteGracey girl, I hope you feel better soon! I am sorry you don't feel cheery. We all have those days. Go shopping for shoes, it is a cure. Love your skirt, and shoes by the way. Weekend is on its way darling. Dawn Suitcase Vignettes xo
ReplyDeletei did have a good tuesday. you look very pretty in the happy pink, even though you didn't feel happy inside. hope your december gets better.
ReplyDeleteI sometimes have to dress happy too to try to get back in a good mood. Sometimes it works, sometimes. . . I want to back to bed and pull the covers over my head. :)

That was the bulk of my November for sure. I hope you can find some sunshine in your colorful clothes, but I also hope that you give yourself permission to be down if you need to be down.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear you are having a bad month. I am loving that pink sweater and hope things start to go better for you soon!

The pink does look cheery on the outside, even if you're not feeling it on the inside. My every month is turning into being a not feeling it these days. I feel your pain. It's a drag.

ReplyDeleteI love your outfit though, the sweater works so well with this dress.

If hot pink isn't doing the trick, it MUST be bad. Sending hugs your way, my dear.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry you're feeling down. You do look lovely, even if melancholic. I hope things pick up quickly for you!
ReplyDeleteI meant what I said and I said what I meant in your other post--I'm sending all my good vibes up to you. We're only one state apart, right? Surely vibes can make it that far. :)
