Life Goes On

It's that time of year, my friends. We all know it. Some of you are so bored by your place of work that you choose not to go, while others of you love your work mates but know your fate is questionable as the night could end with a blackish blur of forgotten words that you may wish you didn't say, though you're not exactly sure... Ohhh the pain. Yep, I'm talking about the inevitable holiday work party that will never cease to exist. I've been through quite a handful myself, and so far I've come back pretty unscathed. Though I must admit this year I made my boss take off her boss bitch (pun not intended) wedding ring so I could try it on and ended the night playing air guitar way too close to the band. They were actually super annoyed with me, especially when I tried to get on stage with them. Rude! But I have to brag a bit as I didn't wake up with a gutting shameover this year. I mean I feel like people have done way worse at their Christmas parties... much much worse. I would actually know because I've heard a good story or two. So for those of you that haven't gone to your gathering yet, remember who you're with, try not to say too many weird things, but never say no to a fireball shot. Or if you've already attended your work party and you told your teammate you're in love with them, peed in the elevator, or perhaps woke up fully clothed with little memory at all, remember, it happens to the best of us! Sike, I would actually die of embarrassment. Okay but on the real, you only have to endure your embarrassment for the next year because lucky for you, there's always next year's Christmas party idiot that will take all the embarrassment away from you! Isn't that convenient? As long as you don't do it again, that is... So remember how it feels and give that poor soul a nice pat on the back that post party Monday and remind 'em, life really does go on.

In honor of the holidays, those of you that escaped your work Christmas parties emotionally stable, and mostly to those of you that didn't, this fit goes out to you. Much love and happy holidays from Neon Doves. Peep it:

Lost Puppy

I've spent the majority of my adult life residing in the city of Seattle, yet I still find it necessary to rely on google maps a good 50% of the time. Actually that's not entirely true, but 50% of the time I don't exaaaactly know how to get from one place to another. The last couple of years I've decided to embrace my inability to identify with geography and just drive around until I find my way home. I surprisingly rarely make a wrong turn, so I'd actually say I know my way around better than I give myself credit and it's more of the general habit of relying on my phone for everything. So what does that mean for our future children...? Scary thought.
Unfortunate proof that I don't know my city inside and out when I really really effing should is the fact that for the past couple of years I've made a decent yet unsuccessful effort looking for a conservatory to enjoy all the pretty greenery they have to offer and perhaps take a pic or two as well. Coincidentally my friend Sacha recently stumbled across one in arguably the most famous and obvious parks in Seattle; Volunteer Park.

--______--

She too had been aimlessly searching for a Greenhouse in the city with little advancement, but not nearly as long as I had. And while the park is just steps from her house, she at least has the legit excuse of being NEW to Seattle. I have no excuse. Point of this ramble is that I'm super stoked to have finally found this sweet house of cacti and I need to continue exploring the city on a more determined level since there's undoubtedly many more Seattle treasures I've been missing out on. FOMO.

Paired with my favorite succulent cacti babies is my favorite fit these days. Easy high rise trousers paired with this luscious velvet crop top, cashmere beanie, and new purse that I'm fully vibing on and highly recommend. I'm really into small purses because I absolutely hate lugging around my entire life with me. This one is small yet practical allowing you to fit the essential phone, wallet, keys, gum, and chapstick. Peep it:
