Stepping Into a New Year

New year, new you? January 1st, 2016 - the beginning of a brand new year. A fresh start. A time to reinvent. For many of us this is true, and for others not so much. 

I won't bore you with too much goal-setting, personal growth talk but instead share a bit about my fashion goals/resolutions for 2016. I plan to step out of my comfort zone a bit more, spend less $ on fast-fashion and trend items, invest in well made pieces (clothing & jewelry alike), get more things tailored to my body, and really just define my personal style a bit more. 

I think by not stepping into Zara, H&M, and F21 to scoop up ten quick items I might be able to save money to invest in pieces I will get more long-term wear out of and that really speak to my personal style rather than just the trend of the moment. 

Some of the things I am wearing in this post are items that have actually become staples in my wardrobe. I am sure you have seen the sunglasses I am wearing here before, these round ray-bans were something I wanted for a long time and so glad I decided to purchase them! I love the vibe they can add to any outfit! 

Also, the faux leather pants by Blank NYC I am wearing have been a wardrobe staple for over a year now- eeek! time for new ones?! Also, my handbag was a larger purchase but something I have found I can wear with many different outfits. Generally I go for a black bag, but getting this Chloe Drew in the taupe color has proven to be even more versatile than black. Being that I can wear it with whites, tans, and blacks.

What are some of your new years fashion resolutions?
