What I’m Wearing…
* Army green bomber jacket
* Vintage white v-neck sweater from the /70s
* Lee Modern Vintage straight leg jeans… these by AGOLDE (another fave brand) are very similar
* Army green Nike Sky High – just wore them in my last outfit as well even though they’re years old, sometimes they just feel right.
* Tiffany heart key necklace
* Mixed rings, silver and white gold (more affordable options in the shopping widget)
* Marc Jacobs Pillow Bag
* Title: Justin Timberlake – Sanctified (Visualizer) ft. Tobe Nwigwe
For a minute, I thought about using Total Eclipse of the Heart, in honor of the total eclipse happening today, but it felt too obvious, so I went with the other, which still has a reference because you’ll burn your retina if you look at the eclipse directly… SO DON’T DO IT 😆😎
I really need to invest in a few new pairs of jeans. I wanted these to be longer, to the floor, to the edge of my shoes, but they’re not, obviously. I love the fit on top, but as with most of my jeans now (aside from my vintage levis), the length is cropped – although these are technically “straight/ankle” length and not really “cropped” but still… I have a ton of older straight legs, but they’re too low-waisted to dive into just yet… but maybe I just need to revisit all of them and try them all on and see what styles fit the moment.
I did buy a pair of the new barrel leg jeans and I have to say that I actually love them, but haven’t worn them yet because they give more spring vibes with short sneakers and it’s been too cold. But this coming week is supposed to be in the 60s even though there is still snow on the ground from the storm a few days ago. UGH. SNOW. I’m so over it. You’ll know everything if you’re following along on my stubstack. I’m non-stop about it lately.
Anyway, the high tops kind of balanced out the shorter length and I ended up liking the look, but I think it’s time to go shopping 😊
I’m also in this space of (what feels like) MASSIVE transition and transformation in my life… of in between past and future versions of self and of feeling empowered that I’m creating my own reality while also trying to surrender to the Universal flow of life.
It feels like a contradiction but it’s not because when I get into a flow of creation and manifestation and things are moving in the right direction AND THEN the Universe shows up and helps move me along my path or sends signs that feel like positive reinforcement, it encourages me to continue moving in that direction… and this IS happening in some areas of my life, proving or at least, validating my choices, and keeping me going.
On the other hand (and in some other areas of my life) I feel like any effort I put forth in one direction gets shut down or tests me… pushing me back to past patterns and choosing things that aren’t good for me.
This is confusing and CONFUSION should be a red flag (which I’ve learned and speak about in my latest Come As You Are video) but because it’s inconsistent, sometimes positive and sometimes negative, it stops me up, leaving me wondering which is the best next step and the direction I need to go?
Because the eclipse is telling me to rest and relax and stop the manifesting and plan-making and just allow for calm creation, I’m taking a break (mentally) and spending some quiet time in the next few days to do just that and hopefully all the answers will come to me.
Happy Monday Lovecats!

The irony of what I wrote in this post below… also it was from 2018 and the look is trending now 😊
