It’s the new year, so while I don’t fully subscribe to “new year’s resolutions” there are certain certainties we should all be resolved to do in the new year:
- #6: (remember the movie Mommy Dearest…with Joan Crawford) I promise “no more wire hangers!”
#7: I promise to commit to one print (leopard, snakeskin, zebra, floral) in your wardrobe- #8: I promise to fold not hang ALL knits (including sweaters, knit dresses, etc)
- #9: I promise to use my handbag only as a handbag, not a tote!
- #10: I promise to purge every season…believe me, you’ll get more
- #11: I promise to profit from my greed ~ and donate unused and/or old items
- #12: I promise to resole my favorite shoes at least once a year (like….now)
- #13: I promise to winterize my leather footwear (like…now)
- #14: I promise to remove all shirts with yellow stains in the armpits
- #15: I promise to look longer and leaner ~ by wearing straight leg pants
- #16: I promise to mix up my metalware (gold, silver, platinum)
- #17: I promise to learn how-to walk in heels (video lesson)
- #18: I promise to use at least one teeny, weeny, tiny bit of color with your outfit
- #19: I promise to laugh at anyone who laughs at me for feeling good about myself
- #20: I promise to remember that style is really about being ‘intentional‘…even if that means you’re intentionally looking a little shabby chic some days
- #21: I promise to mix black and navy blue in unexpected ways (they do it all the time in the Navy)
- #22: I promise to wear the size that fits….even if it is mismarked “10” when it’s likely a “6”
- #23: I promise to consider ‘cost per use‘ versus price when running around the store to grab everything that is marked $9.99
- #24: I promise to buy a new wallet if my current wallet is being held together by a rubber band or other such aids
- #25: I promise to remove the plastic bags from my drycleaning before putting it in the closet
- #26: I promise to pack only that which I can lift (unassisted) into the overhead bin
- #27: I promise to leave harem pants in 2011
- #28: I promise to layer more because it saves money and creates more options
- #29: I promise to invest in foundational wardrobe items….even if it isn’t as much fun shopping for them
- #30: I promise to always travel with a white button down because it’s wonderfully versatile
- #31: I promise to dress for where I want to be, not where I am
- #32: I promise to remember when thinking about being over- or under- dressed, it’s just best to be dressed appropriately!
