I have never personally been a big fan of New Years resolutions. I have always been of the mind set that if you want to make a change, start when you first realize you should. This goes for quitting smoking, weight loss, a change in lifestyle, etc. I read an article in the Los Angeles Times Magazine this weekend that mirrored my thoughts, but added a great idea for a resolution, for those who want one. Stop buying "comfort clothes." Essentially, this means stop buying the articles of clothing that already reside in your closet. I.E. A common one, jeans. The writer also referenced her grey cashmere sweaters.
In life, we tend to stick with what we know, and it can make us feel stagnant sometimes. If you are like me, you are bored with your closet almost everyday you get dressed. I cannot even tell you how many times I have said that in the past week. So try new things. Give the trends of springs a shot (leopard, neon, crochet, nautical) even if it is just a touch with an accessory, a shoe, or a layered piece. Resolute to yourself to not buy anymore [insert your comfort clothing here]. Honeysuckle pink, the color of the new year, is out in full force. Pop some in your wardrobe for an mood elevator.

As for resolutions, I am part taking in at least the thought of positive change. Stolen from a friend: "Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you will start having positive results." I need a bit more of that in my life, so I am adopting the no comfort clothing policy, finding a new job, working out more, writing more, and overall just being more adventurous. What are your resolutions?
