The Cool Tones of Fall
9:45 PM
"You can't start a new life in old clothes". This is perhaps my favorite quote and real-life sage advice from the hit septuagenarian comedy "Grace and Frankie" (you still haven't seen it?!! Open up Netflix. NOW.) This line actually applies quite literally in my own life - when we moved to the country last year, I had no choice but to sell off most of my clothes and accessories, bringing only with me the bare minimum + a smattering of things I can't part with. :( Sad, I know, but when Grace said that line in the show though, I knew it was high time to stop being so sad about it and instead, continue my quest to invest in new items that I'll come to adore.
A couple of such recent acquisitions for fall is this chunky cobalt blue sweater (love at first sight), and this gorgeous, gorgeous outerwear find from Old Navy, which I decided to pair together for an invite to shoot for a prestigious US magazine's Detroit road show (details coming up on the blog!). Talk about a "new life", indeed" - just a little over a year ago, I arrived here a new immigrant, clueless about how things will turn up for me. I'm certainly grateful these days - life still throws me a lot of challenges and curveballs, but it has also a lot of small windows. :)
