Just because I've failed miserably at most of the New Year's resolutions I've made in my life is no reason for me to stop making them, right? In fact, I'm almost certain that the only resolution I've ever kept was to run a marathon. (Five hours and twelve minutes of running in the pouring rain. It was a proud day.) Nonetheless, I do have some goals for 2012, and among the very easily achievable goals (like: go on vacation!) there are some others that are slightly more challenging. For one, I'd like to run another marathon this year. Second, I'd like to go skydiving. (I've been saying this for years, and the only thing stopping me is that whenever I save up the $200 necessary to do it, I end up spending it on shoes instead.) And third, I'd like to improve the way I buy clothes and utilize my closet. I shouldn't have five navy blue skirts in my closet, or four black t-shirts, and yet I do. I'd like to get better about deciding what item of clothing would improve my closet, and then only buy one of that item, but make sure it's high quality. "Spend more, buy less" sounds counter-intuitive, but I'd rather pay more for things that last longer. Also, I need to give my closet a deep-clean this year and get rid of a lot of things that just aren't working for me anymore. Expect to see a "shop my closet" tab on the top of my blog soon!
I'd love to know what some of your New Year's resolutions are, whether they're fashion-related or not!
