Keeping It Simple
I’ve been keeping my life very simple lately. Work, treatment, home. That’s pretty much every day. Sometimes during the day I THINK I will go home and accomplish One Thing – wash the dishes or sweep the floor, etc. But no. By the time I get there I’m so shot that I get almost immediately into my nightgown and head to the sofa. I’m not even reading or watching tv, I’m just…resting.
So this kind of outfit is my mainstay right now. A simple base with something over top. Easy peasy.
This dress is so easy to wear. It’s a rayon spandex blend that’s stretchy and swingy and feels like silky cotton. The blouse is Tencel which is a drapey lightweight denimy material. Both fabrics are very comfortable to wear.
Fashion doesn’t always have to be fussy or fancy. It can be easy and relaxed and comfortable…and that is totally my jam these days.
I’m kind of liking my life like this. I feel like the beginning of the year started with so much drama that I’m enjoying this simple time. Kind of weird, right? I never feel good anymore, I’m always exhausted, but overall, life feels good. Count on me to be contrary 🙂
What I’m Wearing
- Old Navy black&white striped jersey swing dress, 3x
- Blue Tencel button-down from Charlotte Russe, 3x, old. Similar here.
- Superga velcro sneakers

I love the feel of tencel. I totally agree it’s a nice weight and feel. So, it’s ok to take it down a notch (or 20) now. You’re like a caterpillar resting now to become a beautiful butterfly! Plus, who cares about May and June. Those are lame months. I like hibernating sometimes. And yay for you for still working! That sounds like enough right now. Thanks for photographing and writing and keeping your friends up to date! Thinking of you!

Aww, thanks, Julia! I like the thought of becoming a beautiful *healthy* butterfly! I know it’ll be worth it when I’m all done but right now it’s hard to see the recovery for the misery.
Thanks for checking in, Friend 🙂

Oh, it’s all “passing” alright (if you get my drift, ha ha).

Oops, in the midst of IT, and you still LOOK GREAT.
