Style Resolutions for 2013

In 2013, I'd like to ...

1. Reinvent old pieces.  I am totally guilty of being excited about an item, wearing it once or twice, and then forgetting about it. This year I want to get better about remembering old favorites and incorporating them in new ways. One idea I had: throw a chunky knit sweater over last year's sequin NYE dress.  You get a brand new outfit!

2. Try a new style.  My wardrobe is predominantly black and white, and I wear the same -ish jewelry scheme pretty much every day.  This year I'm going to add a little more color to the wardrobe and try a few different jewelry styles.  Maybe I'll even try a Miranda Kerr inspired hat!

3. Support a young/new/local designer.  Whether it is jewelry, shoes, clothes, or a fledgling bag line, I want to get better about remembering to support those designers new to the scene!  (Anna Wintour always adopts a favorite newbie!)

4.  Wake up the hair and makeup routine.  I really don't enjoy dealing with either of these but I realize it can totally transform a look. I'd be happiest with a glam squad, but until that happens I'm going to try and incorporate some new looks in my routine, like the huge ballerina bun I started doing in 2012 (with the help of this guy).

5. Don't get too serious. Denim on denim? Sure.  (My former self is cringing at this.) Dress tucked in to make a shirt? Why not? As Rachel Zoe once said, "Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak." Some days I like to channel my inner Kate Middleton with a smart blazer and low heels, and other days I feel like a metallic leggings and studded booties gal.   I say, life is short, have fun with your style.
