What I Wore This Week (No. 140) – Closetful of Clothes

what i wore the third week of January 2023

It was a short week but felt like the longest week ever tbh. Why does that always happen? I don’t want time to fly by because my kids keep getting bigger and I hate it. But at the same time, I really don’t want another day of winter. I’m ready for spring and summer. I just really don’t like January/February. They’re cold, dark, and I have zero motivation to go out and do anything. I have found that planning things helps. I did a good job of doing it for the kids — some activities to burn energy and get us out of the house without me having to freeze my butt off in the yard like swim lessons, hockey, and skiing lessons — but not so much for me this year. In the past, I did indoor tennis lessons/clinics, and that really helped. I just haven’t had a chance to get back into those types of things here, and I’m feeling it. So I’m focusing on planning out some fun nights out with friends/date nights, some fun trips for winter and spring breaks, and trying to dive back into home projects, but man, my motivation level is really low right now. Anyone else feeling that way? When I feel this way, I generally try to dress up to help motivate, but in the middle of winter, I just can’t sometimes. I am leaning into cozy and comfy, and I’m not mad about it. So I’m bringing you lots of work from home/weekend/casual outfit ideas for what I wore the third week of January 2023. But as I mentioned, I’m trying to squeeze in some fun plans here and there, so we hit up a black tie birthday party as well so if you have any fancy winter weddings or parties, bringing you a little inspo here too.

This weekend we don’t have any big plans — the usual activities and birthday parties and a family ski day with some friends, which I’m excited about. I’m going to try to get some organizing and house projects in this weekend as well. They have a new outdoor rink in our town that I’m hoping to take the kids to but last time we tried to take them, they were upset that we tried to make them have fun so we’ll see. Isn’t parenthood so much fun lol?
