Yeah. That was the plan. I never adhere to resolutions, and haven't made one in years. This year was no different. Yes, there are things I want to improve upon, but I've been working on them for months. This year was no different, until one of my goals from last year was met this year on January 2nd. I got hired at a new job as an Administrative and Event Assistant in the wine industry. I am so very excited and it checks all the boxes I was looking for in an admin job!
Part Time ✔
Preferred Wage ✔
Commute doesn't suck ✔
I can keep both my current jobs ✔
Bonus Perk: I still have two days off!
Bonus Bonus Perk: I get to do some event planning!!
I am very excited and after two weeks on the job, I can say that I can see myself being very happy in my current job situation for awhile! Now, back to resolutions...maybe it isn't considered a resolution, but just a new goal that happens to fall right around the new year? Either way, we're back to Capsule Wardrobe, but this time- Office Edition!
The plan, the goal, the resolution, the mission, the aspiration is to curate a wardrobe made up of about 10-15 pieces that I can mix and match so that getting dressed before heading into my early morning job isn't a hassle. I've done a capsule wardrobe before. It's amazing and I loved it! The only thing difficult about it is that
1) I have a uniform for my serving job and prior to now it was 4 or more days a week, and I'd try to just incorporate my blacks into my daily wear prior to work.
2) I have a lot of color schemes I like and you really need to stick to one per season.
3) I really switched up my whole capsule season to season and it wasn't necessary. Better to just switch out key items to adjust for the temperatures and keep the basics the same. I found myself missing pieces from the prior capsule and then just ended up flopping altogether by the 3rd capsule.
Capsule Wardrobe: Office Edition will help solve some of these problems, giving me a new "uniform" for my new job and I can still wear my casual wear whenever- after work, days off, to the daycare, and before my serving shifts. Likely, I will end up creating a capsule for this aspect of my lifestyle in the future.
Office Edition is on hold until I get my first paycheck (next Friday!), so I can get some shopping in for the pieces I want, but here are some basics and colors I will be incorporating:

So, here's to resolutions that aren't really resolutions, but might be, we aren't really sure. 🍻
