Accessories and Outfit Ideas

You’ve seen it a hundred times. A stylist picking outfits for a photoshoot. That’s not what this is about.

You’ve heard it before. Two people describe the same job (and) one sounds energized, the other hollowed out. Same title. Same hours. Same paycheck.

You’re tired of arguing about screen time at dinner. And you’re exhausted from watching your kid shut down the second you say “no.

You ask what’s for dinner. Your kid sighs. Your partner stares at their phone. Then someone snaps about “never being heard.

You’re scrolling. A glossy ad pops up. The caption reads: What you’re talking about will be style lifestyle. And you stop. Not because it’s clear.

I stand in front of my closet and feel empty. It’s full. But nothing feels like me.

You’re scrolling at 2 a.m. again. That photo pops up. Flour on the counter, toddler smeared with yogurt, coffee cold in the mug.

You’re elbow-deep in snack crumbs and someone asks, “How are you?” You say, “Fine.” You mean, I haven’t cried in the pantry today. That’s not fine.

You know that quote. The one you’ve heard a hundred times but can’t place. Whatutalkingboutwillistyle Family.

That sinking feeling in your gut right before you say, “We need to talk.” You know the one. About Mom’s care. Or your brother’s debt.
