New Year... new me?



courtesy of thefashionspot.com

Nothing's better than the start of a new year to make some resolutions!
Usually, I'm not a believer of resolutions as I hardly attempt to stick to them, but with the US in the throes of a recession and me going back to school, it is more important than ever to manage my money wisely.

This definitely means spending less on clothes that I do not need and buying less into trends. I think I have done a good job of sticking to this, but my wardrobe could probably do with a few more resolution tune-ups, namely:
  1. Declutter - this means clearing out stuff that I do not wear or just doesn't suit me anymore!
  2. Shop More... in the closet! Pastels, shorts, chunky jewellery, ruffles...these are some of the trends for S/S 09 that stood out to me and which I'm pretty sure I can find in my closet!
  3. Stick to the list - namely my "must-have" list. A good watch has been on my list since forever and I realized that if I haven't given into temptation and bought a cheaper item because it is easily accessible, I would have purchased some of my "most-haves" by now. I probably will have to set my money aside for school since the new term starts in Fall, but I do hope that I will never lose sight of my must-have list and cross off each item in the near future.
What are some of your resolutions for this new year?
