ONE of my many New Years resolutions..

At the start of this year, I made my list of New Years Resolutions, including being more organized, working on spiritual growth, and enjoying my children even more.

I also made a promise to myself to dress better, and to find my sense of style before I hit 35.  I have a year and a half to educate myself and build up my wardrobe.  I am finally after four children back to the size (or even under) where I was before I got married.  But losing weight doesn't mean a dang thing if you don't know how to dress yourself. 

My closet is bare, and it is so tempting to run out and buy a bunch of cheap shirts in multiple colors so that I have something to wear.  But I will not, I will resist.

Thanks to my lovely friend at Cardigan Empire, I have determined that I am a pear.  Yes, even at my lowest weight in ten (yikes, maybe more) I am still a pear. 




So it is important for be to accentuate my waist (now that I have one again) and minimize my bottom half.

I have made myself three promises:

1.  Do not buy anything unless I am totally in love with it.  This means even if it is on sale, and it is cute, but not so cute on me, I am not allowed to buy it.

2.  Only purchase figure flattering pieces that will bring out the best me.

3.  Think quality not quantity.

Now don't get me wrong I will still have my drawer of work out clothes, and my mommy uniform for hangin' out at home with the kiddos and catching sticky fingers and messes.  I will also have my beach attire that will not consist of stylishness and substance.

I am just trying to slowly build a wardrobe of cute stylish clothes that will last with me for the next 10 years, or even more. 

Now to sell some of those clothes that no longer fit, so I can buy some new stuff!!
