There's something strange about coming back after celebrating Christmas and New Year's, and by strange I mean incredibly depressing and sad.  Everyone is all partied out, you have to throw away your Christmas tree, put all your Christmas ornaments away, recover from your hangovers and then go back to work...on a Thursday! You're looking back and thinking about the year that went by and all the things that you didn't accomplish and now you're going to start another year off with a juice cleanse that will mean nothing, because "green juice" is actually not a magic potion that will take away your dependency on french fries. Not to mention those people that do those "I'm so grateful for..." posts that lists a thousand accomplishments, but that you (let's be real) can't stand reading, but you do anyways just so you can judge them for being narcissistic assholes.  Breaking news: nobody cares.  All your holiday joy is basically rotting out on the curb and there's not another huge holiday in sight.  

All kidding aside, it's not all bad.  Here's looking at you President's Day.

I don't know about you, but between all the holiday turkey, prime rib, apple pie, cake, peanut brittle, pork tenderloin, brisket and ham, I just want to get into some stretchy pants and comfy clothes.  Enter my go-to post Christmas and pre-New Year's comfy casual reprieve: stretchy jeggings and a loose top.  It's also crucial during this waiting period to stretch out that stomach for all the New Year's eve fare.  Until the ball drops, happy lounging!

Often times my bob haircut will dominate my outfit.  What I mean is, when you have a bob haircut it's hard to look disheveled and bohemian and put your hair in a bun, or go cool girl in a high ponytail or curl your long locks to look like a girl from The Hills.  No, there are very few choices.  I can definitely brush it and comb my bangs down--and now I'm basically out of things I can do with my hair.  However, I CAN make anything look "1920's" so whenever I go to an event I just make everything into a Great Gatsby party, or a flapper party or a 1920's party whether or not the party is actually themed that way, just because it's easier.  So here, instead of me wearing a really pretty beaded nude dress, I'm wearing a flapper dress.  It's cool, luckily I look good as a flapper--which is now my lot in life.
