she she!!
Rather than make empty promises to stay fit, trim my pasta intake to only three times a week, or spend within my budget, this year I've made a resolution that I will actually want to keep. I am going to be more fashion-forward this year and make sure I never leave the house without a put together 'look.' To ensure that staid items don't hinder my success, I've decided to clean - as in purge - my closet. Anyone, interested in doing a little closet-cleaning on their own, should know that chunky-heeled shoes, jeans with boxers attached and all tummy T's should make their way to the banished clothing item pile.
1. I will have more fun with fashion. If I feel inclined to do so, I will mix stripes with flowers or pair satin with wool.
2. I will master the art of taking celebrity l fashion I admire and transforming it in to my own reality. (we all do it.)
3. I will get a trench. (And I suggest that everyone not in possession of this staple do the same.) I can not sacrifice one more rainy day outfit to my nylon 'I have never camped in my life but like to look as if I do' raincoat.
4. I promise promise promise to trade my ninja black for splashes of color. This spring's dresses are just too delicious to pass up.
5. If I haven't worn it in two years, I'll set it free from my closet.
6. I will take my own advice and factor more flirty tops into my wardrobe, while adding a dash of femininity.
7. I will make sure that there is a difference between my day and night makeup. I will take the time to put on some lip gloss, will try a smoky eye.
8. I will invest in some slim, short (just above the shins) pants to complete my clean, spring look.
9. I will try with all my might to give my blow dryer the occasional day (maybe week) off.
10. I will add drama to my otherwise dull everyday attire by accessorizing with over-the-top jewelry (i.e. multiple strands of pearls, large brooches and long earrings). Not to worry if your baubles are faux, even Coco Chanel okay-ed costume jewerly.
11. I will be creative and charming in dress, all the while exerting my inner chicness that I know is still buried under jeans and winter wool.
There you have it. A resolution worth working on over the course of the year. In fact, I'm so pleased with my first week's progress I may consider it a lifetime resolution. I mean, couldn't we all stand to renew our chic-ness each year?
