Currently + Style Six
Looking back to the last time I joined Anne in Residence to share what else is currently going, I was shocked to see it was last April! I always love sharing with her the first Wednesday of the month but like all things good if feel off my radar for a bit with my pandemic brain. So today I’m jumping back in to share what I’m currently loving, reading, remembering, sharing, and wishlisting as well as joining my Style Six sisters for some fashion!
LOVING the chance to have some one on one time with my girls at a fun little selfie shot installation here in town. We were thrilled to be invited as part of the Instaland BCS influencer day to take photos in January before they launched and yesterday we had a chance to try out the February set! We are LOVING the Valentines themed wall.
READING the Bible in a Year using the Chronological plan from the Bible Recap. I did this in 2019 and learned so much and wanted to take that knowledge and dig in a little deeper this year. The first year I gifted my Bible with all my notes to my oldest daughter for Christmas and I hope to be able to complete the plan and gift this years Bible to my oldest son.
I also am reading Hadley & Grace which was a January Amazon Prime first read freebie. It’s a little bit of a Thelma & Louise kind of story and I don’t hate it but I’m not dying to get home to it each day either. It is currently free with Kindle Unlimited.
Did you know if you are an Amazon Prime member you can grab a free read each month?
REMEMBERING when life feels heavy at times that I only have to focus on doing the Next Right Thing. I love listening to Emily’s podcast and especially love that she provides all of her transcripts for download. It gives me the focus to really listen in to her talk when I know I can go back and grab notes from the show. This year I ordered her new guided journal to help me remember some things each month. I love writing but sometimes need just a little prompting!
SHARING my closet! Even though I have been back in the office since May, many items in my closet have sat untouched because I just don’t feel as motiviated to dress up when I know I won’t see many people. I’ve fallen into a pattern of wearing the same comfy, go to looks on repeat. I decided it was time to share more of my closet so for February I will share a different look using pieces from my closet on my Instagram each day to create 28 new looks. Sometimes pulling looks together has to be more intentional for me so I’ve pulled together some “maybe” combos to try.
I have loved this sweater dress but my only issue with it has been finding the right shoes. Unfortunately the dress his me in a weird place and makes my calves look super thick which they are not really. Not loving the tall boots but it was worth a shot. The rest of this look I LOVE right down to the neck scarf that seriously has been in my closet for probably 15 years if not longer! It’s not going anywhere soon even though my coworker did tell me I looked like a stewardess.
Black denim is one of my fave ways to “cheat” at work when it comes to looking pulled together but still being comfortable. I love this sweet floral top that I snagged last February but haven’t worn it since we showered my daughter-in-law last March!
WISHLISTING travel! Travel is definitely on my wishlist right now and we are trying to make final decisions on a few getaways. Right now we have a chance to head to Tennessee for baseball over Easter weekend and are just weighing the options. June will bring dance nationals in Las Vegas and we are going to make it a girls trip and go early for a little national park exploring on the front end. The biggest on my mind, however, is our 20 year anniversary in August and we would so love to make a trip to Alaska so we are patiently waiting to see how things begin to play out this spring.
So what’s currently going on with you?
