Happy New Year! I hope your 2019 is off to a great start! Ita and I spent New Year’s Eve all dressed up at the Perot Museum in Dallas for a big party called Beats and Bubbly. It was so much fun and I’m so glad we went! We moved pretty slow New Year’s Day but ended up spending the afternoon with family which was a nice start to the year.
Ita and I took some time New Year’s Eve to write down goals we have for 2019 both individually and together. We do this every year and usually spend a while at a coffee shop reflecting on the past year. We talk about what we accomplished, what we didn’t, what we struggled with, what were our happiest moments… then we try to set realistic goals for the following year in all aspects of our life. I think it’s a really healthy thing to do and I’m glad we’ve continued it each year.

I found myself looking up different inspirational quotes and then going through my phone of old screenshots I took of random quotes I’d find scrolling Instagram. It was really interesting to see I took screenshots of a few of the same quotes multiple times over the last few years. Clearly they resonated with me! Anyway, I love reading inspirational quotes and thought it could be a good way to kick off the new year by sharing some here on The Fashion Hour! Some are really just good words to live by and things I try to remember when I might be going through a hard time.
Let me know which numbers are your favorite!
