new year…new you…

while we have all seen and read…and even thought about the new year…the changes we want to make…resolutions have been made…and maybe already broken…but to me the new year is always a time of reflection…a time to think about what worked…what didn’t…what i want to continue…what might i want to enhance…

and while i love the term…new year…new you…i am also a firm believer in working towards achievable goals…i mean…why make some that we just know are not attainable? we know what the outcome will be…disappointment…feeling bad about ourselves…who needs that? but…our new goals should be work to get to…because we all know…that when we truly work for something…and then reach it…well…the feeling is amazing…

so being a new year…what would you want to change or enhance about yourself? are you thinking of losing some weight? are you thinking of changing up your look? are you thinking of finally getting rid of those size 6 pants that you have said you will be back into for the last 5 years?

i truly love this quote by.gianni versace…because it focuses on who you are…and when you realize and know who you are…your dress can help you express that…fashion should never own you…your style should always be an expression of you…nothing more…and nothing less…

so if i had a few words of wisdom to help get you started…here are my top picks for the new year…

– wear only what you love…that means…getting rid of the items in your closet that you don’t love…and aren’t wearing…and going forward…not buying items unless you absolutely love them…

– dress & shop for the size you are now…that means…not waiting till you are 20 lbs lighter…clothes can be an amazing tool to help you look lbs lighter…camouflage areas you wish to hide…and highlight assets that need highlighting…

– be the best version of yourself – there is no one that can be a better you…don’t try and be someone you are not…no one needs copy cat versions of others…be you…and be the best you!

sometimes…taking the first step is the scariest…and sometimes…your clothes will be showing who you are before you are even convinced…and that is ok…really…so if you are needing some help…figuring out what your style is…or figuring out what should stay & what should go in that packed closet of yours…i am but a phone call away…let’s get started to make this your best year yet!
