Transitional from Summer to Fall and out with the old and in with the new is how I felt this past month. The September 2024 work month fashion wise and professionally has definitely evolved with the change of seasons in a few ways. While I won’t get into too much details, I have truly enjoyed getting to style my work outfits as the weather changes. To kick off September 2024, I spent the first week in Hawaii where I had an incredible time exploring pretty much all of the island of Oahu in its true beauty as well as a bit of the island of Maui. And, to close out September 2024, in the Washington, DC area, we experienced several rainy days to kick off Fall 2024. Truly, I still cannot believe as I am writing this on September 30, 2024 that on September 1, 2024 I was in Hawaii – it feels like a CENTURY ago!
As the seasons change and I am striving to embrace the Fall season, I am also focusing on learning to set boundaries and take care of me. As much as I despise slowing down and being told to do so (thank you to those who did in my community!), it is still a blessing to be able to take a step back, as I am starting to learn to do. Even if that means one less event or one less trip, being able to do what I need to do and want to achieve can only be done if I and others, too, care for ourselves first.
