Every year we all make New Years resolutions we don't stick to. I looked back at my list from last year and I haven't done one thing on that list...not one! So to see in 2010 I have decided to pick one subject and focus on it. The natural choice of course is....fashion. So here are my 3 fashion resolutions.
De-clutter I have so much stuff! I could wear a different outfit everyday for the whole of 2010....but I won't. Instead I am going to have a fun and productive time working through my wardrobe and auctioning anything I haven't worn for a year. With the exception of classics and certain vintage of course.
Watch the blog for a first chance to grab some fabulous, lovely things.
Invest Fashion right now is all about versatility and maximum wear value. Yes we still LOVE throw away fashion....we don't admit it and we aren't proud if it but its true. If you haven't already, now really is the time to think about those key investment pieces. I'm talking wardrobe staples.... perfect fitting jeans, a tailored blazer, loose fitting tees and leather...oh beautiful leather. These are the things that are here to stay. Sure they might vary in style over the seasons but they can be worked with those passing trends to create a look that is personal to you. This is where you should spend your hard earned cash, hand over your pocket money for the short haul trends.
Revive Every week I am surprised by some of the wonderful pieces lurking in my wardrobe...."Hey, if I just take that up and change the buttons, I've got the perfect S/S 10 nautical skirt!" No pocket money wasted there. If you have an eye for it, it takes no time to pop to your local haberdashery, pick up a few buttons and a metre of ribbon and stitch them to last years clobber to instantly update. Be careful though, the aim isn't to look like a haberdashery just threw up on you, keep it contained.
I will keep you posted throughout the year on how it is going...
Right, wish me luck!
