I just sent in the final draft of my mucho important paper that's supposed to get me to a conference in Puerto Rico (amaga), so most of my day has revolved around decompression: actively turning off my "to do list" state of mind. I was seriously succumbing to the stress, unable to let anything go for just a minute, constantly running my mind over everything that's still unfinished: my paper, dinner, the Halloween party I have coming up, my impending visit to my brother in Amsterdam, my blog, vaccuuming - the list goes on. I'm usually quite good at juggling all those balls, which is actually something I take pride in, but I was crumbling the minute I sent that damned paper in because it had been SUCH a source of stress for the past few months.

I cried a little. And then my sweet, sweet boyfriend comforted me, made me some tea and just sat next to me on the couch while I painted my nails, aka most relaxing situation ever. Rest assured, all those people who look like they've got everything together totally have their moments of total and utter weakness. It's never easy. I underestimate myself way too much, I never feel like I work hard enough, which is totally ridiculous if you stop and think about it. I really should appreciate myself more.

ANYWAY, today's outfit was an office look that I was especially proud of. I wouldn't change a thing, I look so French! I've always been a huge fan of suits on women, whether glammed up or dressed down. I should wear this look much more often. 

Reminder to self: be prouder of all the shit you get done in one day, and wear more suits.

  4. Very chique. (And sexy as well, but you know in an "understated" way.) I think it's always difficult to stay calm and focussed without getting stressed when you truely care about the end result. I mean, that would require and enormous amount of self confidence. (Which you can never have too much of, if you ask me.)

  5. Zeer herkenbaar! Als ik me niet een beetje inhoud leg ik mezelf voor echt alles targets op, en soms is het gewoonweg absurd: hoeveel boeken/theatervoorstelingen/films ik maandelijks moet lezen/zien, hoeveel keer ik met mijn vrienden moet afspreken... Alles kan altijd beter, of het nu over het werk , het huishouden, gezond eten en beweging, hoeveel tijd ik in mijn uiterlijk steek, hoeveel geld ik uitgeef... gaat. Maar vaak is alles al fantastisch zoals het is, en dat mogen we niet vergeten :).
