Thursdays are my favorite day of the week…not Friday?! Hear me out: The prospect of something wonderful happening (ie. the weekend) is oftentimes more mood-boosting than the actual thing happening. It’s why planning a vacation can often be more fun than actually going on the vacation itself.
Thursdays are my favorite because most of the week is behind you and you get to look back at everything you’ve (hopefully) accomplished since last weekend with an eye towards the Saturday and Sunday ahead. While I’ll miss drinking coffee on Cape Cod and looking out at the ocean, I’m glad to be settled back into our little house and into a routine again.
Today, I’m sharing one of my favorite Amazon finds that I wore on the Cape, this V-neck wrap sweater dress.
It’s no secret that Amazon clothing can be hit or miss, which is why I was surprised to find how high-quality and well-fitting this dress is. It’s a steal for $42.99 and can be dressed up or down…all while feeling like a glorified bathrobe. I’m wearing a size S and plan to buy this in more colors! For extra warmth in the winter, I pair this dress with over-the-knee boots.

On another note, while we look ahead to the weekend, I want to also take a moment to pause and just be. here. now. I am the queen of planning ahead, so much so that I lose track of all the good that the present can bring (it’s also probably why I have anxiety and my dog doesn’t…she doesn’t plan, she just exists). With all that’s happening in our country and the world right now, it’s easy for an escapist like me to want to press fast forward on life. With that, I’m challenging myself today to just exist in the way my 4-month-old golden retriever exists. Moment by moment. We can’t plan for a better future if we’re not aware of the blessings that our present is offering. I hope you have some time today to count yours, no matter how big or small.
xx,
Anna
