Ah, March; admittedly never my favorite month of the year (sorry to many of my Pisces friends out there!) however the imminent start to spring is always a bright spot this time of year. However this March also carries a bit more weight than usual, as it’s the solid one year mark for when our world seemed to suddenly stand still. It marks the start of our “New Normal”. I can’t believe it’s been a year in this pandemic. I can’t believe it has gone on as long as it has; and I also can’t believe there seems to be a light at the end of the COVID-19 tunnel. I have so many emotions and thoughts…but perhaps they’ll wait for another post. Today, it’s all about this month’s intentions, some gorgeous spring fashion finds, and staying on the bright side.
March Intentions
1) More movement! Last spring in quarantine, Craig and I really leaned into daily walks after work. I really want to implement these again as the days start to get a bit longer (come on Daylight Savings Time!) and the temps a bit warmer. I even kind of want to try walking in the morning before work…we’ll see how that goes though hah. I’d also like to get back into yoga. I seem to have phases where I love yoga and do it weekly, and then completely fall off the horse and don’t do it for months. So this month I’d like to change that and I think I’ll start with getting a new digital membership to my faves Y7 Studio.
2) More creative work! As some of you may know, I work as a graphic designer full time. And as less of you may know, I studied photography in high school and minored in it while in college. All of that to say, I love being creative. Graphic design, art direction, photography, all of it makes me feel so good and I want to lean into that more this spring. A somewhat-secret goal of mine in 2021 is to increase my income streams and that means more creative freelance work! So stay tuned for some exciting announcements coming SOON 😉
3) More books! I actually really enjoy reading and I feel like I have a bunch of books (in my book case and on my Kindle app) that I bought and never read/finished. So I want to pick those back up and finish two books this month. It’s a modest goal, and I hope that by keeping it that way it’ll actually get me to do it! I’m also part of a book club with my sorority sisters so that should knock out one book on its own. Would you be interested in book reviews here on the blog? Let me know in the comments!
March Style Picks
As promised in last month’s mood board post, I’ve leaned all the way into spring dressing this month. The weather may not have caught up with me here in NYC just yet, but I’m loving all the gorgeous spring dresses coming out right now. So much so, that I put together this Amazon Spring Dress Haul over on my Youtube Channel! Give her a watch and tell me your favorite. I think I’m leaning towards dress two or dress four.
I hope you enjoyed today’s post! You can expect a monthly mood board along with my intentions/goals and style picks from here on out, so make sure to check back each month! Let me know what you’re most looking forward to this month and as always, head over to Instagram, Twitter or Facebook to follow along in real time.
