I’m realizing more and more each day that it is #allthelittlethings — As I embarked on an incredible and challenging journey this year, I’m nostalgic about my 20’s and early 30’s. I may have been a mess and lacked clarity about certain things, but I made an effort when it came to me.
For instance, I had an evening routine fit for a Queen (or the Queen I thought myself to be at that time). It was non-negotiable for me. I got dressed for bed, didn’t go to bed without a spritz of whichever sleep perfume I planned on wearing that night, nightly neck rubs, bath nights, etc. — friends often called my nightly rituals self-indulgent, but I felt good, seen, and sexy.
I left that girl behind, actually, I’d forgotten about her — life can do that to you when you let it. As I work through discovering or rediscovering myself, I’m leaning into things that I once enjoyed, liked, or loved. I’m not sure I still do enjoy, like, or love many of the things I once did, but I’m being curious and I am experimenting to rediscover or discover.
This year I’ve been embracing getting dressed for bed, and no, it’s not pandemic influenced. It’s all about me. Instead of grabbing an old T-shirt, I’m being more intentional, and it’s brought back my love and appreciation for Luxury sleepwear.
In my 20’s and early 30’s it was about going to bed sexy and feeling good (and a boy didn’t influence it). I felt really great giving myself that time — I felt appreciated.
Back then, Victoria’s Secret, Saks, and Bloomingdales were my go-to place for sleepwear. There are an unusual amount of options (thank you pandemic). But my preference has evolved — luxury is still non-negotiable, but now it’s not about sexy; it’s all about sexy comfort and quality.
