Tuesday Treats

To put it simply, the last few weeks have been hectic. Between multiple family get-together events, preparing for a Christmas meal with friends and squeezing in a couple of dates before David goes away for a bit, there sadly hasn’t been much time to be calm. Here are a few little pieces of happy, and a couple of pretty things to remind myself to step back, take a breather and enjoy the things around me.

Since wearing the same jackets in the winter can get boring pretty fast and buying a new one constantly is out of the question, I’m trying my best to re-invent my pieces. Last week, I quickly switched out the original sash from this cape with a leather one from another jacket – a subtle but much needed refresher to make the piece feel fresh in my closet again. For a few years I’ve also been toying with the idea of switching up the buttons on a pea coat for gold ones, and this might just be the year that I do it!
