The January Blues
Perhaps I’m only speaking for myself, but January can be a tough month for bloggers. After working so hard to churn out holiday content that hopefully sets fire to the internet, it’s natural to feel a little bit out of creative juices. Admittedly, I’m out of fresh content, haha. Which is why I’m posting these photos from the fall that I totally forgot to post before the holiday season hit!
The good news is, I set a lot of goals for Glass of Glam this year, and I’m ready to jump in and start accomplishing them. Michelle and I are shooting on Wednesday, which will be wonderful to get back into the creative swing of things. Plus, January is my birthday month so I can’t be in too much of a slump!
We shot these photos when the leaves were still on the trees at the Lincoln Park boardwalk. Even though we are in the middle of the city, it looks like we are in a field of grass and trees. I love that about Chicago – there’s so many beautiful green spaces where you can get a respite from the tall buildings and traffic. We really wanted to show off the sleeves of this checkered dress, which are absolutely spectacular. Hence the dance-y poses. I originally saw the dress on Shopbop.com, but it was totally out of my price range. So when it popped up on Rent the Runway, I rented it immediately! Remember this sequin dress and this gorgeous raspberry number? Those are from Rent the Runway, too!

Thank you so much!
I am right there with ya sister. January is always one of those months that is tough for me too. It’s always so cold and getting pics in is always a struggle.

Shooting outside in the cold is so brutal!
It is a difficult month to take pictures. Not only is it hard to be creative but it because of the cloudy or rainy weather. I hope the creative juices get flowing!
That’s so true! Being out in the cold takes a lot of bravery! Thank you for the well wishes!
It’s definitely a rough time of year for bloggers—it’s been raining here, so I haven’t been able to shoot! 🙁 The struggle is real!

I’m glad that I am not the only one feeling the slump! Your posts have been fire, though.
Hi Roxanne, I discovered your blog last week with your How to get Accepted to Rewardstyle post. My current post uses your format for shopping a post using your Glam holiday one as an example. So, thank you for sharing! I agree on the blog slump! The check mix on the dress is so fun, the warm rich, colors hit a sweet spot for me.
I’m so happy you found me, Kim! You did a fabulous job on the post! Keep up the good work and don’t hesitate to reach out with questions.
How can you not love this dress?? It’s fun and exciting and then those earrings to boot!!
XOXO

Thank you, Bojana! So close, right? Perhaps you’d like to co-host with me!? I’m excited for 2019, too!
Very cool dress. Love those sleeves. I agree, after all the holiday rush, I kind of feel like laying low as a blogger for a bit. Have a great New Year.
It’s definitely a marathon this time of year. Thanks for the kind words!
I adore your outfit, Roxanne. The dress is beautiful and I love the accessories, especially the earrings!
Thanks for the linkup 🙂
Thank you, Christina! Can you believe the price on these earrings though?! Only $9! Which is why I have them in green, too!
Roxanne, this dress is magnificent! I love the mixed checks and the fun sleeves. And your earrings are so great, too. These photos are gorgeous! I have lots of goals for 2019 as well and am hoping to not fall into a January slump! Wishing you all the best…slump-free!

Yes! Too many goals to slow down, right!? I can’t wait to see what you have in store! Thank you for the sweet compliment 🙂
Those sleeves on your blouse are so fun and so are your earrings! Happy birthday month and to the first Monday of January! Wishing you a wonderful week ahead.

Thank you, Maureen! The earrings certainly deserve a mention! I have them in green, too!
That dress is darling on you! I love the power of photography and how you only need a small space to shoot photos in. It can be the middle of the city and look like the middle of the country.
Isn’t photography so amazing that way?! So happy you like how these turned out!
Such a cute dress – I love the mix of checks and I really like your earrings! 🙂
Thank you for the link up!
Hope that you’ve had a great weekend and wonderful start to 2019! 🙂
