9-20-2026 MY WEEK: small joys to combat stress

this week i took a pledge to self-care, thanks to bestie vic hooking me up with the finch app for self-care. great timing, as my work has been challenging with sudden new changes making my days long, tedious, and stressful. my evenings felt tiresome and my sleep restless. but as a mental health specialist, i have to practice what i preach. i forced myself to socialize, take daily walks, and try not to miss out on my weekly chores.

still, i couldn't wait for the weekend. some family fun with puppies and lambs, and brunch with the girls restored me for the upcoming week. 

therapy?

this week's looks

graphic tees ruled this week, especially those of beloved celebrities. most were primarily styled with jeans; the outliers were styled in denim skirts. each day i stuck with a color theme too, completely subconsciously: monday was red, tuesday blue, on wednesday i wore pink, and thursday was a blue-green combo.

monday at work i wore a white tee and striped skinny jeans, platform loafers, red cardigan, leather calvin klein purse and giant sunnies.
for baseball game with work besties, i wore a baseball tee, ripped bellbottoms, adidas gazelles, and an adidas windbreaker.








tuesday for work i used a throwback look, wearing a nirvana sweatshirt, an elton john tee (it got warm later), mom jeans and converse.

thursday reference: myscene jammin' in jamaica. i wore a green knit sleeveless sweater borrowed from sib and a denim maxi skirt, adidas gazelle, blue asymmetrical sunnies, hoops and some jewels - a la barbie.
for my evening walk, i wore an anthony bourdain tee, shorts, vans shirt, and converse.










friday for work i wore a white blouse and bellbottom jeans, chrome slingback flats, blue sunnies and tweed clutch purse. 

















saturday sib and i went to a car dealership as she's been eager to upgrade her car! i wore a striped sweatshirt gifted by fiancé, ripped denim shorts with lace pockets, gucci sunnies, sib's upcycled purse and adidas. 














for a family friend birthday in the countryside, i wore a plunge top from forever 21, indigo dye old navy wide leg jeans, tropical purse, gucci sunnies, some bangles, and gazelles.












sunday brunch with the girls. inspiration comes from kate moss. i wore a knit long sleeve polo and skater skirt from american eagle. tabi flats, tweed clutch, oscar de la renta sunnies (unnecessary in the gloomy rain), and gold earrings.














sunday afternoon walk. wore a sweatshirt and tan biker shorts, gazelles. simple and comfy.











what am i looking forward to this week?

let's welcome the official start of fall, and i am hoping to do some apple picking, pumpkin patch visits, and cozy fall treats!
