SB - Capsule Closet - Look 9

I must confess….I don’t actually hate Mondays. I don’t love them either, but I appreciate their role in the week. It’s not Monday’s fault that it falls after the weekend and before the rest of the work week. It can’t help it! That said, I have a few tricks to make Monday’s more tolerable even when I’m not feeling so empathetic about it.

The first is to plan a great outfit on Sunday night so I don’t have to think about it in the morning. It’s no fun to start the week feeling rushed or dishevelled.

The second is to treat myself to a latte on my way to work. Sometimes a fresh scone gets involved too. There are few better mood boosters than coffee and baked goods!

The third is that I do everything within my power not to work late on Monday. It’s not always possible but I find if I can finish work by 6, take some time to decompress and either pick-up or make dinner I feel so much better going into the rest of the week.

So what are your thoughts on Mondays? Spawn of Satan or a necessary evil?

    Lee, if I only read one blog in a day, it’s going to be yours. I love this outfit, and the advice. Monday I was having a….well Monday, and stopped to get a latte, and organize myself, and it was a great day!

  2. Agree, not working too late on Mondays REALLY helps! It just sets you up for a much better week!

    Happy Monday Lee!
    I’am a morning person and into Monday’s (usually). I work almost every weekend so they’re my Friday’s. Today Monday is my Monday though, lol.
    I definitely get the coffee and scone, that combo helps with everything.
    Love this sweater so much! Definitely getting a gray crew neck for the fall!
    Hope you have a great one. Excited about #10!

      Thanks Jodie! Ah, Monday’s off are a whole other story. I almost prefer them to Friday’s off. Somehow they’re more relaxed.

      This sweater is easily my favourite closet addition this year. You’ll love it! XO

    I second the latte & pastry combo! Every morning I make smoothies for me and my husband, and if I cut and zip-lock all of the ingredients for Monday’s the night before (+ have lunches packed) I feel that much more prepared to seize the (Mon)day.

    Ps. Love this outfit combo. I have almost all of the right pieces to put it together!

      Thanks Courtney! Smoothies are definitely another great way to kickstart the week. My kitchen is under renovations right now and I’m seriously missing them! xo
