The combo of Black and White has the power to officially push the reset button on my mood– or in the case recently, Black and Off-White! I’ve been loving Off-White this year, mainly because as a tone it is vastly easier to pull off, but also because there’s something about the color that screams Chic to me.  Maybe not screams– maybe whispers “Chic” in a sexy voice while it sips a glass of perfectly chilled Rosé.  But I digress.  I especially love the color when it’s made in to a super classic and classy silhouette like this awesome Rachel by Rachel Roy Jacket! It’s like a smoking jacket, but with a bit more skin showing for that extra Wow-factor.  Paired with black skinny jeans and some adorably fringed Tory sandals, this outfit makes me feel like I can conquer the World.  Seriously.  Never underestimate the power of classic shapes and colors to transform your mood to something more elevated than it’s been.

And boy oh boy do I need to elevate my mood recently! I’ve been feeling extremely scattered– being in a new place for a while with my Family without all of our “stuff” can be disorienting, especially when there’s a toddler involved.  Not easy adapting to new routines and rituals, Amiright?? Not to mention figuring out where to grocery shop, how to get around town, childcare, work resources, and a brand new time zone.  But something that I’ve been focusing on this week is the fact that each of us is in charge of how we feel daily.  No matter how hectic, frustrating, overwhelming, or challenging the ingredients of our days may be, we have the power to decide how it makes us feel– and in turn, how it effects our Mood!  Right now I’m choosing to rise above stress and stay focused on my little daily, weekly, and monthly goals with positivity.  That’s where I’m at today…but check with me tomorrow on how that’s holding up.  But man, does this crisp and bossy outfit help a lot!

Are you working on changing your daily attitude? I’d love to hear how it’s going in the comments below!
