Happy 2022, piglets.

I’m still putting the final thinking into my annual theme, but until I get the final ideas squared away, we’re reintroducing monthly moodboards. Because I like them and they are pretty, and that’s good enough for me.

So in the spirit of new beginnings or whatever, this month we’re walking the fine line between laziness and uniform dressing by wearing only our two favorite colors. We’re faking our fashionable credentials with bold lips while barely scribbling on our eyeliner. We’re accepting the body quarantine and lockdowns have given us with a bit more grace than we usually do at this time of year. We’re drying out for Dry January anyway, because liking your body as it is can also mean giving it a break post Christmas and NYE.

In other words, when we could be throwing up our hands and hunkering down for winter and no one could even criticize us given the last 12-24 months, we’re putting in effort anyway.
