Weight on my Shoulders

Get the Look:

H&M Dress [last worn here] | Long Cardigan | Boots

Y’all, 2017 is right around the bend – basically a hop, skip and a jump away and I am both eager and terrified for its arrival. 2016 SUCKED! Like sucked so hard I start tearing up just thinking about all the suckiness that tormented me this past year. And it seems that I’m not alone in this sentiment. So let’s all band together, give each other virtual hugs and pray for better New Year.

I wish I could be as optimistic and sprightly as most people are with the dawning of a new year on the horizon but 2016 left me jaded. And unfortunately that’s an understatement. The weight of the past year has really hit me hard this month and it has me fearful for 2017. There are going to be a lot of changes in my life, both good and bad, and I’d like to think I can have a positive outlook but I shouldn’t lie to myself, right?

I don’t mean to be such a downer. I’ve become really good at placing a fake smile on my face and going about the motions but I’m just so tired. There’s only so much fake-ness I can tote out and I’ve reached my limit for 2016. Anyways, this will most likely be the last Wardrobe Diaries post of the year. I’ve got a couple looks that will spill over into the New Year so keep a lookout for those. Until then, Happy (almost) New Year!
