Do you have a New Year Stylution?

Happy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful holiday! I so loved hanging with my family and friends. I read a little, wrote a little, and just enjoyed the quiet, the rain, and pondering what this year will be for all of us. 

I’m not big on New Year Resolutions in the traditional sense, i.e., “I will work out 5 days a week starting January 1.” Boooorrringg! 

But I do like having resolutions when it comes to my upping my style game, (Exciiiting!!) I call them “Stylutions.” Aka:  “Style Resolutions” or “Style Solutions” depending on what your style goals are. 

“Style Resolution”: If you already own 6 black T-shirts, you might have a “Style Resolution” that states, “I will not buy another black T-shirt until one of these black T’s is well worn.” 

“Style Solution”: If you have a beautiful blouse that you bought, but have nothing to wear with it, a “Style Solution” might state, “I will not buy anything else until I first buy something that I can match up with this blouse.” 

And then, so that you don’t do it again, I would follow that up with another “Style Resolution” that states, “I won’t buy anything new that will not mix and match up with at least 3 other items that I currently own in my closet.”

So…have I got you thinking? What “Stylutions” do you have? 

If you can’t come up with any, I suggest that you take some time and go through your closet, and think about some of your style struggles. 

Here’s a few that I have seen and heard over the years + my suggested “Stylution.”

1. Style Struggle: “I buy too much and never get rid of anything. “Stylution”: “For every new item I buy, I will give away or donate two items.” (Yes, you can do this!) 
2. Style Struggle: “I bought this because I needed something for the warm weather but I don’t really like it.”  “Stylution”: “I won’t buy anything unless I love everything about it.” (If you follow this, you are sure to end up with a closet filled only with items you wear and love!)
3. Style Struggle: “I never wear these because I don’t like to iron.” “Stylution”: I will only buy clothing that is either wash and wear, or I will have it laundered so that I don’t need to iron it.” (Or..learn to enjoy ironing! 🙂 

So how are you doing now? Did you think of some New Year Stylutions? Blog me. I’d love to hear!

Now, it’s your turn. I’d love to hear from you.  Your insights and inspiration are appreciated so please share your stories in the comments below.

If you have a question also post it in the comment section below.  I check it daily. Since the topic is always about fashion or style no question that you ask will be “off Topic.” 

That means as far as I’m concerned, when you ask a question that is the topic. Everyone else who’s reading it can follow up on my answer. There will be no questions that you ask that will be too far off topic because your question will be the current topic. So…ask away!

Oh…and your email address is not “required” even though it says so. 🙂 Don’t even ask.
