Happy Monday, sweet friends! It’s the first official Monday of 2020 which means my trial week of goals is over and this week is the real deal. Starting with posting on the blog at least twice a week. If you guys have been around for some time, you know that once upon a time I posted 3 times a week. I can hardly believe it myself because in Q4 I was only averaging about once a week. Regardless, in Q1 of 2020 I’m back on the blog twice a week and moving forward with video content in Q2. All the exciting things happening. Mondays are naturally a good place to start something that feels steady versus a midweek start – so here we are!
I just finished my Powersheets (use code HAPPYNEWYEAR for 15% off) prep work and decided to plan by quarter goals instead of trying to plan the whole year. I’ve talked about goals a ton on the blog (here, here, here & here) and on almost every post I’ve mentioned how smaller and closer goals are SO much easier to maintain and achieve for most people. Our brains can only focus on goals for about 90 days until we either get burnt or completely give up. Using a 90 day method, even with a 1 year goal planner, is a great way to digest everything and reassess when the 90 days are over.
Okay guys, lately I have been obsessed with plaid. I talked about this back in November and I still can’t get enough. With the holidays, I feel like you see plaid E V E R Y W H E R E but afterwards, not so much. The best part about that is that if you are a plaid lover, all the plaid items are on sale right now. Including these super fun and comfy pants from Talbots. I have shared multiple items from them over the years and it has easily become one of my favorite stores to buy investment pieces from. Their clothes actually last through wash cycles so I don’t mind spending a little extra on them. These pants are on sale for $54 and selling out fast. Like they went on sale mid-week last week and have sold out of a ton of sizes.
Along with my pants, my sweater is actually on sale also for $30 and so incredibly comfy. I am now ordering one in every color to layer up with this season. If you’re looking to stock up on sale favorites, you can get $50 off every $200 with no code needed. I took advantage of this last time and picked up a 4 items for $150, which if you shop at Talbots, you know that’s a good deal.
I’m having so much fun bringing out a pair of my favorite pumps from about 2 years ago and new deep blue earrings from the Sugarfix by BaubleBar collection at Target. That’s all I have for you guys today & am always so appreciative of you reading. If you’re new around here, you can find me everywhere with the handle @lotsofsassblog including Instagram, Twitter & Facebook. I’ll talk to guys soon! -xo, Azanique <3

Well first of all, I think it’s really awesome how you’re planning out your goals in 90 day blocks. I think you’re going to do a phenomenal job reaching those goals because of your determination and skill! I also love your outfit and how it revolves around plaid! Plaid has always been one of my favorite prints, but I don’t think I’ve ever owned it in pants form, and these pants are just too cute! Also can we talk about the gorgeous blue pumps? Stunning!

You are too kind, Stephanie! Thank you so much. The pumps are seriously a gem!
