Too Late to Say Happy New Year 2026? Preppy Outfit idea

Is it ever really too late to say Happy New Year? I don’t think so—and if you’re anything like me, you know that the start of the year isn’t about speed, but about intention. So yes, happy new year, welcome 2026, and welcome back to this little corner of fashion, joy, and possibility.

This may be my first blog post of the year, but it’s written with excitement, inspiration, and a whole lot of anticipation for what’s ahead. Because even if January (or let’s be honest, the year itself) started quietly here, the energy for fashion, travel, creativity, and new opportunities is very much alive.

2026: New Energy, New Style, New Possibilities

A new year always feels like a fresh wardrobe moment—full of ideas waiting to be styled. 2026 already promises so much:more fashion inspiration, more adventures, more joy, and yes, more consistency (even if we start a little late).

This year, I’m looking forward to:

Exploring fashion with more playfulness and intention
Sharing more OOTDs and personal style moments
Traveling, even if just through sunny city walks and hidden corners
Creating without pressure, but with excitement

Because starting late doesn’t mean missing out—it means arriving when you’re ready.

OOTD: A Preppy Moment in Carouge, Geneva 💚

Let’s talk about this outfit.

This preppy OOTD was shot some time ago in Carouge, Geneva, on one of those rare, magical days when the sun decides to grace us and make everything feel cinematic. Carouge, with its charming streets and Mediterranean soul, felt like the perfect backdrop for a timeless yet playful look.

The Outfit Details:

Black skirt – classic, structured, and endlessly versatile
White shirt – crisp, clean, and forever chic
Green tie – the unexpected twist that ties the look together (literally)
Black lace socks – soft, feminine, and slightly nostalgic
Black patent shoes – polished with a subtle shine
Coat with touches of green – grounding the look while echoing the color story
Green clutch with a handle – practical but statement-worthy
Green beret – because preppy outfits deserve a little Parisian flair

The green accents bring freshness and personality to the black-and-white base, making the outfit feel intentional, elegant, and fun. It’s one of those looks that feels both classic and playful—exactly the mood I want to carry into 2026.

Fashion, Travel & Posting More (Yes, Even If It’s Late)

This post is also a small promise—to myself and to you. A promise to share more, even if life gets busy. To post not because the timing is perfect, but because the moment feels right.

Fashion doesn’t follow strict schedules. Neither does creativity. And sometimes the best stories are the ones told a little later, with more perspective and more joy.

So here’s to:
