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.

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.

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.
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!
