The Weekly Wardrobe: April 6-10, 2026 Hey everyone, it's another Sunday! I hope the weekend is treating you well! ☺️ It's been about a week now that I've made the changes to my blog, and I have to say, I am very happy with them. Everything seems so much more cohesive and ties so well together with the image I had chosen months ago. I still can't believe that the inspiration was staring me in the face for so long, but only just revealed itself to me a mere week ago.

I still recall how to talk security, along with outfit recaps. 😉 I reflect a bit on recent work events, and how I want to change the landscape. #VulnerablyMe

Apple Music is killing it, playing the songs my soul needed, very quickly breaking through the walls, freeing emotions and creativity.

Now I see daylight.

The Weekly Wardrobe: March 30-April 3, 2026 Hey everyone, happy Sunday to you! For those of you who celebrate it, happy Easter to you as well. I hope you are having a great weekend so far. I don't have any special plans for the holiday, aside from my usual enjoying a lazy day in preparation for the week ahead. 😊 I can't believe that it's already been over two weeks since I attended my Security+ class — it still feels like it was merely a couple of days ago.

Sometimes, the catalyst needed to make a change is staring you in the face — we just need to slow down in order to see it, and then things fall into place. #VulnerablyMe

Weekly Style Recap: March 9-13, 23-27, 2026 Hey all! Nope, I didn't forget about my blog. I haven't lost my mind just yet. 😉 I spent a week in northern Virginia attending a CompTIA Security+ certification course the week of March 16-20 — that’s why it’s not listed in the title. I was much too busy for school to take outfit pictures! 😅 The class was more or less the same as it was back when I attended it back in 2018 (wut???

Losing one’s inspiration sometimes feels like it’s just as scary as losing one’s direction in life. I managed to lose both the last few weeks, but making an effort to regroup. #VulnerablyMe

Reaching out to the experts for suggestions: CISM or CISSP? I feel like CISM is more for me, as it focuses more on culture, governance, and such, but brief discussions with my course instructor has me not wanting to count out CISSP, as it may not be as technical as I think. I'm torn. #VulnerablyMe

Trying to write up a blog post for last week, but finding myself utterly unmotivated to do so. Not sure if it's wanting to focus on the course I'm in, or just a complete lack of creativity flowing through my veins. Maybe later this week, or the weekend...? #VulnerablyMe

Weekly Style Recap: March 2-6, 2026 It's another Sunday, and another week about to begin. It's also time for daylight savings, so I've lost an hour of sleep. I really do think it's high time to do away with changing the clocks twice a year. Is there still really any benefit to doing so? I'm completely on board with putting the ritual out of its misery, and I won't lose any sleep over it (pun intended 😜).

Sometimes, while struggling for a topic to write about, the topic presents itself right in the midst of writing. It's almost magical how it happens. #VulnerablyMe

Weekly Style Recap: February 23-27, 2026 Happy Sunday! I can't believe that it's March already. Spring is just around the corner, and I am completely on board with that. I'm already happy that the sun is sticking around later and later, so I'm no longer walking to my car from work in the dark. Spring and autumn ('autumn' > 'fall') will always be my favorite seasons, because the temperatures tend to be the mildest, and I have the greatest versatility when it comes to my wardrobe.

Outfit recap and a reflection this week — three little words I'm not afraid to say: "I don't know." That honesty matters more than we think in security culture. #VulnerablyMe

Weekly Style Recap: February 16-20, 2026 Hello, and good Sunday to you all. How is your weekend going? Over here, it's a very dreary day. It's been raining all morning, and the weather forecast on my phone keeps telling me that there might be SNOW in there somewhere as well. Of course there would be — considering that I put all of our shovels away just yesterday, thinking that the worst was over.

Really feeling that the "winter blues" are a thing, especially when the weather is dreadful. How do you stay creative during these times? #VulnerablyMe

Weekly Style Recap: February 9-13, 2026 Hey everyone, and happy Sunday to you! I hope you all are having a wonderful weekend, and for those of you who celebrated it, I hope you also had a wondrous Valentine's Day as well. In my attempt to remain my authentic self — #VulnerablyMe, if you will — I will share that while the past week was busy at work with still fighting small security-related fires (grateful they are nothing blaze-worthy), I haven't been feeling very creative or inspired.

Low on creative energy this week, so I returned to a story that stuck with me: the regret of waiting to protect loved ones. This week's reflection + outfit recap. #VulnerablyMe

At my core, I’m just scared, unconfident, unsure, self-doubting, vulnerable, and highly sensitive. #VulnerablyMe

Since the early 2000s, when podcasts were born, I’ve always wanted to have one of my own. The desire hasn’t really faded over the years, but fears & challenges endure:

- how/where would I host it that was cheap/free
- what would I even talk about? I’m no expert on anything

Weekly Style Recap: February 2-6, 2026 Hey everyone! Happy Sunday! Or, should I say, "happy 'big game' Sunday"? OMG, why can no one say "S**** B***" anymore without being bombarded by a battery of lawyers... Will I be watching? Most likely. I don't really follow sports at all, and that game is pretty much the only one I watch. I don't particularly care about the teams that are playing.

This week's post touches on something I don't think we talk about enough: how birthdays can feel lonely as we age. It's okay for them to be both happy and sad.

Weekly Style Recap: January 19-30, 2026 Happy Sunday, everyone! No, that's not a mistake in the post title—I'm covering the past two weeks, seeing that today is the first day of February. I can't believe that it's February already, not to mention that it's my birthday month. ☺️ Oh! As you may (or may not) have figured out, I managed to successfully migrate my blog over to my new domain!

Two weeks' worth of outfit recaps to catch up also afforded me a lot to reflect on, both physically and mentally. #VulnerablyMe

Weekly Style Recap: January 12-16, 2026 Happy Sunday, everyone! How has your weekend been treating you? It's been a rather relaxing one for me, but boy, it sure has been COLD lately. I am SO very much over winter—honestly, I'm over winter as soon as it starts. I'm not cold-blooded like some folks are, but I'm definitely not hot-blooded either. I hate summer almost as much as I hate winter.

Besides recapping this past week's outfits, I also discovered that the smallest things can sometimes spark the biggest realizations. #VulnerablyMe

Weekly Style Recap: January 5-9, 2026 Hello there, everyone! A belated merry Christmas and happy new year to all of you. Yep, I'm back! I had a nice and relaxing sabbatical—as I'm fondly calling my over-a-month off from work. It was wonderful to spend the time as I wanted. I spent a lot of time relaxing, recharging, and generally just enjoying the free time. I didn't even dread coming back in to work.

Happy new year! My extended vacation provided me time to reflect on my career journey, and where I want to go. Oh, and there's my usual outfit recap as well! #VulnerablyMe

Weekly Style Recap: November 17-21, 2025 Happy Sunday, everyone! I trust you are all having a great weekend. It’s been a nice weekend for me so far, especially in preparation for my long vacation, or “hibernation” as I’m fondly calling it. ☺️ I want to ensure I’ve things in order and have accomplished as much as possible at work, so as to not leave anyone hanging, nor to place any additional burden on my colleagues.

This week I wrote about something that’s been bothering me: calling people “threats” when they’re just trying to do their jobs. Language shapes culture. Weekly outfits + security thoughts inside. #VulnerablyMe

Weekly Style Recap: November 10-14, 2025 Happy Sunday! How is your weekend treating you? Been pretty good here, and soaking up all of the relaxation I possibly can. ☺️ The past week was extremely busy dealing with a few emergencies, so I was very ready for the weekend to arrive. This coming week also is the last full week of work I have left for the year.

This week's outfits are up, plus thoughts on "zero trust"—a security term that actually describes how we protect ourselves in everyday life, without even realizing it.

Weekly Style Recap: November 3-7, 2025 Hello, and happy Sunday, everyone! ☺️ How is your weekend treating you so far? It's been a very low-key weekend for me so far. I really need to re-motivate myself to continue on with my CISSP studies to try and tackle that certification. I think it would be quite beneficial to my career in the long run, even if I still don't quite know exactly…

This week's outfits + a reflection on something that's been on my mind: the small details in our photos that can give away more than we realize. A gentle reminder to look at the whole frame.

Weekly Style Recap: October 20-24, 2025 Happy Sunday! I trust you all are having a safe and enjoyable weekend so far. Be sure to cram in as much rest and relaxation as possible before Monday! I usually fill my hours between YouTube, endless episodes of Columbo, and video games—of which I’ve moved from Cyberpunk 2077 (having finally finished each ending, including the secret one!) to Outer Worlds, in preparation for picking up the sequel.

Organizations plan for incident response, but what about recovery? This week I'm thinking about the toll on security teams and why rest shouldn't be a luxury.

Weekly Style Recap: October 13-17, 2025 Hey everyone! Happy Sunday! How is your weekend going? Mine had been going pretty well, until the wee hours of this morning. I'm still not entirely sure what happened, but I had awakened to adjust myself while sleeping, when something cracked, popped, tore—which I can't quite identify—occurred in my back. It didn't feel like it was in my back per se, but felt like it was much deeper.

This week's recap may be light on outfits, but heavier on reflection. Smart glasses are getting sleeker, but what does it mean to normalize wearable cameras? Contemplating the consent & security questions we might not be asking yet. #VulnerablyMe

Weekly Style Recap: October 6-10, 2025 Hello, and happy Sunday to you all! This is a rather late edition of my recap for the past week. But hey, better late than never, am I right, or am I right? 😁 The past week was CRAZY busy, and full of self reflection with my role at work. I had the wondrous opportunity to see Twenty One Pilots in concert on Sunday night, and it was AMAZING—despite the fact that we didn't get home until almost TWO in the morning.

Introverts at conferences: we're not antisocial, we're selective. This conference, I'm showing up on my own terms. #VulnerablyMe

Weekly Style Recap: September 29-October 3, 2025 Happy Saturday! Yes, you read that correctly. I'm actually writing this a day early, as I'm headed to a Twenty One Pilots concert Sunday evening. Very excited for it, as it's been several years since last seeing them! I'll confess that I haven't yet listened to their latest album that was recently released, but at this point, I'm thinking that I am going to let myself be surprised by any new songs they incorporate into the show.

Sometimes the reminder to feel safe doesn’t come from a headline, but from a new fragrance that feels like home. Writing this week about scent, quiet confidence, and wanting to trust my wings—even when my feet hesitate to leave the ground. #VulnerablyMe

Weekly Style Recap: September 22-26, 2025 Happy Sunday! How is the weekend treating you all? It's been good to me so far. I've been using the time to delve into the world of Cyberpunk 2077 on my Switch 2. I'm currently on my third play-through of the game, but my first time on Switch—obviously. 😂 While I do have the game on all three consoles (Xbox, PlayStation, Switch 2), I only paid for the game on the switch.

What if, rather than focus on profits, companies focused on morals and accountability instead? #VulnerablyMe

Weekly Style Recap: September 15-19, 2025 Happy Sunday to you! The upcoming week is going to be a little shorter for me, as I had decided to take Monday off and have a nice 3-day weekend. Reflecting upon it, it was probably a wise idea for me to take the extra day—I've been having some difficulty with coming up with something to write about this week. I just can't seem to concentrate.

Sometimes, when grasping for a topic to write about, one is born simply through my natural writing. Personal reflection along with the usual style recap this week. #VulnerablyMe

Weekly Style Recap: September 8-12, 2025 Happy Sunday, everyone! How has the weekend been treating you? It's been pretty nice for me—uneventful and relaxing. I'm sure I sound like a broken record saying that pretty much EVERY weekend, but it holds true for me. Having a relaxing and uneventful weekend helps me prepare mentally for the week ahead, and gives me that fresh start come Monday morning.

Weekend reflections on a phrase that is frequently used in security circles accompanies this week's style recap. Let me know your thoughts. #VulnerablyMe
