Starting off with a snow storm and ending with a whirlwind of meetings and changes, January 2025 definitely started off with a bang. Being honest over here, I definitely felt a bit stir crazy as a result of the month-long snow storm and freezing temperatures here in the Washington, DC area. In-person plans were definitely put on hold for a lot of the month of January alongside a long weekend trip to Raleigh, North Carolina cut short due to the weather conditions. I *also* learned that these extra cold temperatures which we experienced this past month caused me to feel a bit under the weather, too. At the same time, the month-long of January was pretty busy work-wise with tons of meetings and tasks to kick off the year. The biggest lesson I learned during January 2025 was the need to adapt, grow, and evolve when it is necessary and to do so with grace.
January 2025’s work outfits were definitely cozy and bright, despite the busy and freezing season that it was. I am a full supporter of dressing bright and bubbly during ALL seasons of the year, not just in the warmer months. I still haven’t forgotten that meme from 2022 about getting out my bright Fall clothes and putting away my bright Summer clothes – LOLLL – and think it reigns true during this January 2025 workwear month! Surprisingly though despite being ready for the warmer weather months and Washington, DC’s Cherry Blossom Festival, I am NOT ready to put away the Winter clothes and am enjoying styling some Winter workwear and outfits while I still can.
