Getting Ready for Fall

10 September, 2014

Good Bones // Getting Ready for Fall

Good Bones // Getting Ready for Fall

I took advantage of end-of-season/Labor Day sales and got a few things for fall. I will be living in these A.P.C. sweats and Black Crane top. The bag was just a little something extra to put my products in when I travel. The Mars boots were a very, very generous gift from my mother-in-law on our trip to Durham, from Vert & Vogue (a new favorite store!). They’ve been on my wishlist for so long. Rachel Comey can do no wrong.

My closet is still missing some pieces that would be good for fall layering and on into winter, to really make my wardrobe versatile. I’ve recently worn out several key items that need to be replaced, like my white tank that I mysteriously ripped at a party and beloved chambray button down shirt that was worn too thin. Even now I can’t let it go and still wear it around the house and on walks despite the many holes that have formed. I hope to get some of these items or find similar alternatives on a thrifting adventure.

  • Yesterday I posted this photo in stories but deleted it shortly after because I was embarrassed. I look angry but in truth this is my face at rest, albeit tired. Most days I look at my post-menopausal face and body and don’t recognize them, but in this moment the anger, sadness, and loathing I normally experience (which is a complicated topic) was more subdued. I liked the picture so I’m not sure I know how to articulate why posting it felt so unacceptable. Here it is again, acting as a reminder to just post the damn thing. 
Lately the need to be more open about menopause, something I’ve shared with very, very few people, is one I’ve felt strongly. I don’t know exactly what that looks like in such a public space, but I think it’s worth exploring.
  • I haven’t felt terribly festive this year (a statement I’ve probably made for 4+ years) but we’re going to Kentucky on Christmas Day and I’m crossing my fingers for snow to put me in the holiday mood. Because of the bookstore we don’t get to take vacations or visit family often and we are beyond ready for some time away.
  • I hope new plant growth always excites me as much as it does today.
  • Sinus infection day four: dressing way better than I feel. And I promise I don’t wear this skirt every day 🙃
  • Just looking at this painting makes me feel calm.
