Hello internet friends and welcome to the new decade! I’ve been sitting here trying to come up with a clever intro that had some sort of roaring 20’s Jay Gatsby reference but I’m drawing a blank. It seems I’m doomed to start the first blog post of the year off with a jolly case of writer’s block, old sport.
I’m sorry- that was bad and I know it. I couldn’t help myself.
Anyhow, I hope you all had a fantastic holiday season and great start to the new year. We are officially two weeks in so that means all of our good-intentioned resolutions have about another ten days of life span before they start to fade, right? KIDDING, keep those goals alive, friends! This was actually the first year that I sat down and actually wrote out some goals for myself and I’m not going to lie, it really felt like it got the new year off on the right foot. I’ve been getting up earlier, working more productively, and Trey and I have been Marie Kondo-ing the hell out of our house to name a few. I made a couple goals for my little corner of the internet as well so let’s talk about those, shall we?
So what new things can you expect from Candidly Chan in 2020? Well, for starters I’m going to do my best to get a new IGTV video out to you guys every Wednesday. I’ve toyed with the idea of diving deeper into video for so long and have always been too overwhelmed to really do anything about it. Having a consistent deadline to meet and lots of video ideas already submitted by you guys feels much more manageable finally and I’m excited to grow that side of what I’m doing! On top of that, we’ve got the Spring collection of Shop Candidly Chan in the works and you guys…. IT’S. SO. GOOD. It was so fun to finally get to include you guys in the creative process since you’re well, the customers, and I can’t wait to see some of your ideas come to life.
Other than that, I’ve got a lot of fun partnerships in the works, some new and some tried and true. And with all of that being said, I’m most pumped to continue growing the little community we’ve built. Y’all are my people, truly, and I’m so grateful for each and every one of you and your support.
Okay, you knew I couldn’t just write a blog post without sharing some outfits didn’t you? Sharing more meaningful, photo-less writing is something else I want to do more of (do I smell another resolution?) but that conversation is for another day.
I just wanted to quickly reshare a couple of the outfits that you guys really loved from the past weeks.
- This printed dress from Farfetch was such a hit and it made me so happy to know that you guys loved it as much as I do! It’s on sale currently too so thats a major SCORE.
- This was a quick little snap from a super fun day in NYC. It’s such an easy and cute outfit for this time of year. Outfit linked here.
- I’m obsessed with this leather mini layered with the puff sleeve top. Throw on a pair of boots and you’re set to go. Outfit linked here.
- Who doesn’t love a good fluffy teddy jacket? It’s even better when it’s an absolute steal from Target. Oh, and please note my identical pose from photo #2. Alexa, add “find new poses” to my resolution list. Outfit linked here.
- Oversized sweaters that double as dresses are my best friend. Pro tip: wear some sort of shorts underneath to lessen the chances of flashing an innocent bystander. The oversized fit can make that a hazard. May I suggest 10 year old volleyball spandex? That’s my coverage of choice. Outfit linked here.
- Last but not least, we love a good fuzzy sleeve (even though I eat about as gracefully in this coat as I do with bell sleeve sweaters). Outfit linked here.
I can’t wait to see what 2020 has in store! Have a good rest of your week you crazy lot.
xx
Candidly Chan
