I've never really been one for capsule wardrobes, but as I navigate the world of sustainable fashion, it is making more and more sense to me. Why not focus on buying quality, classic products that will last summer after summer instead of trendier pieces that might end up in the donation pile when fall rolls around?
Summer is here and with that comes shorter shorts, bathing suits, and bare arms. I love summer clothes (my summer capsule collection is coming tomorrow!) and not having to bundle up, but I have a history of body dysmorphia including an eating disorder in high school. Historically I've never loved my body, but something shifted after I had a baby.
I'm feeling very excited today because we only have one more day until one of my favorite long weekends of the year, MDW. It's the official unofficial start of summer and I couldn't be more excited for the season. My last few summers were kind of a bummer: Last year I was in the throes of post-partum anxiety, the summer before I was pregnant for half of it and in a newborn fog for the other half, and the summer before that I was pretty depressed and out of it in the midst of our infertility.
This book took a little longer for me to read than usual because I just wasn't that into it. I feel bad giving less-than-stellar reviews because I know how hard authors work to complete a book, and I do love this author, but I didn't connect to this particular novel. Read my review for More Than Words below and let me know what you thought if you joined me this month!
