The last day of January is the perfect time for me to share my resolutions for 2018, right? Actually- I haven't made any! Kinda like the last few years, I have some goals and things I would like to do, but I'm not calling them resolutions. Ok, I did make ONE, and it's a style resolution that I kicked off late last year:
wear more of what I love.
Whenever I notice someone particularly well-dressed, whether it's out on the town, on a blog, on Pinterest, etc. it always seems like they are wearing things that they absolutely love. It's like they don't have time for pieces that are "just okay", and that inspiration is totally apparent throughout the whole look! Am I making any sense? This doesn't have to mean crazy colors or embellishments- it can just as easily be an all black ensemble, but constructed with luxe fabrics, or an interesting shape.

For ME, this looks like wearing a sequin dress, that I bought for my office holiday party a few years ago and haven't worn since, as a blouse on a regular day to work. It wasn't the most comfortable to be tucking sequins into pants, but overall, I loved wearing this, and that's what I'm after. I can't wait to pair this dress with my oversized denim jacket and trainers next, for a casual/dressy night out!
I want to have more fun with my closet, and more fun getting dressed, by constantly choosing the items I love and get excited about, and building the rest of my outfit around those. And you know your girl loves a "style strategy." Shared here on the blog for accountability.

You can probably guess that these pictures were taken wayyyy back in 2017, but someone was busy getting married [CONGRATS ADRIANE!] I've styled my "lucky" green pants on the blog for the past couple years at Christmas time 2016 / 2015 but this look is probably my favorite.
Behind the blog: it's moving week! Yayyy. I'm not trying to be a brat but moving is such a drag. Nothing makes me want to become a minimalist/vagabond than assessing just how much junk I have accumulated. Anyway, while I can't find anything I own at the moment, it's eyes on the prize, which is...
MARDI GRAS next weekend (somewhere my mother is shuddering.)
