I know I’ve mentioned this before, but 90% of my wardrobe is from the sale rack. No joke. No one ever believes me because it seems like having easy access to all these clothes I would grab things right out of the box. I do…sometimes. BUT, Amanda will tell you, I’m a sucker for the sale rack and the best is when I wear sometime and I get 10 different compliments on it. In my head I’m thinking, “that’s right…70% off because everyone else rejected it, FOR NO GOOD REASON!!”
Our sale rack is always a mixture of onesies that are randomly left and we move them out quickly so the store doesn’t look piecey with single sizes everywhere. Other things we just ordered (and sometimes re-ordered) too much of. Still other pieces are just sitting there for NO good reason on the sale rack. I think that’s what always gets me. I’ll see something marked way down and I can NOT for the life of me figure out why someone didn’t snatch it up. Then it’s a challenge because if no one else thinks something is cool, then I have to definitely PROVE that’s it IS in fact cool.
Hence, my wardrobe is a collection of random sale styles, sometimes even random sizes (I’ve been known to buy something too big and create a whole new slouchy vision where none was intended.) There are some really great styles that end up on sale, and it’s like the orphanage, the older kids never get picked, and everyone wanders what’s wrong with them. I’m here to say, 9 times out of 10, it’s seriously nothing. All of this leads me to remind everyone, it's SALE ON SALE this weekend, which means an additional 40% off any of the awesome sale items!
I did go to yoga today, and my take away was simple. Fun relaxation. The power of fulling relaxing into whatever you are doing. I’m not doing the message justice, but it was really well said, and the upshot was that you have to fully embrace and relax into whatever you are doing. Accept it, even if it’s hard. You can either resist it, or relax into it and the latter is so much easier on you in every way.
Lastly, it’s the weekend, and the weather is horrible. It’s dark and stormy outside, ,and I plan on embracing the full hygge of the situation. I’m going to make a fire, put on a candle, make a warm soup, maybe some cookies, and snuggle in. Yes, I’m tired of these grey days, but we’re going to have them for awhile longer whether I like it or not so I’m making the best of it with some Danish-word-invoking-cozy-vibing-efforts.
