Ps- SO happy you’re finally on Substack! I’ve been off Instagram since the week before Christmas and have no plans to return. However I have missed your content so much! Thankful for you!
#15 is one I’ve been working on as well! Especially at this unique age of figuring out fashion since I’m not early 20s but not ready to look “old” - such a balance!
Same!! Fashion is hard - Deciding what I like, what I may like because it’s trendy, and what I don’t like but wear because, well, it’s trendy😅 thank God for Pinterest!!!
"don't keep nice thoughts in your head" - sharing this message with my students when the school year starts, maybe making this our class mantra. Start with the tiny humans and the world will become a better place!
The bonus one really resonated with me! It can feel hard to not compare ourselves or to look at the desires of where we want to be, but happiness is truly feeling content in all stages of life. It is okay to have goals to want to work towards things, but it is also okay to be content today.
My sisters 38th birthday was yesterday, I’m currently on a Date Day with my husband (a nice long drive to Bayfield:) to celebrate my 40th birthday tomorrow!!:)
I LOVED all of these...like...all.29;). I needed every one of them. Such a great reminder going into this new decade. I want to be so so present and more disciplined and light and joyful in my 40’s:).
Happy, happy birthday! I resonate so strongly with #7. I am always saying this, especially to young women, as they often tend to be people pleasers or not want to be seen as pushy (myself included) - but the quality of life that comes from being clear and explicit in what you want is so powerful.
Ohhhh, YES! All my friends and loved ones KNOW that I am quite bold in just asking for what I want, pitching myself, etc. and it TRULY has opened so many doors!
I loved this so much, Kate. Your outlook on life is so refreshing and honest, yet beautifully poetic and positive at the same time. I hope you've had a magical birthday!!

RIGHT?! It feels so tricky!

I totally agree!!! I’ve been created fashion boards for each season and trying to intentionally shop for pieces 🙌
