It’s all about the new year, new you right? The pending new year doesn’t have us committing to a gym membership, but instead, some fashion resolutions we hope to follow through the entirety of 2018.
1. Give Colour A Try
Black is our favourite colour. And please don’t correct us by saying it’s a shade. We know! When it comes to dressing, there is nothing safer than an all black wardrobe, and that’s what’s happening in our closets right now. But, for 2018, we’re going to make the simple step of trying to add more colour into our ensembles. While we’re not going to commit to a bright red jacket, just yet, we’re going to start by adding colour in the details: our sunglasses, our jewelry, or bags. Basically our accessories. We’ll touch base with you December 2018 to see if we ever make it to wearing a full item of actual clothing that is colourful.
2. Wear Bottoms Other Than Jeans
Nothing comes between us and our Calvins. Or Levi’s. Or J Brands…There is nothing easier in the world than slipping into a pair of jeans and pairing it with whatever is at the front of closets. But, there are so many other bottom options out there! There are minis and midi’s and trousers all waiting to adorn our bottom halves. Come 2018, we’re making the valiant effort to put aside the denim, and reach for something a little more exciting.
3. Make More Of An Effort When Running Errands
We admit. We’re the people you see in ratty college sweaters and leggings at the grocery store, with our hair in high buns and mascara flaked around our eyes. Sue us. But, after being inspired by Vogue’s article on Bodega Chic, we’ve decided we’re going to make a change in 2018. We’re upgrading our leggings to luxe joggers, and maybe retouching our makeup before heading out the door. After all, you never know who you may run in to.
4. Wear More Lingerie As Outwear
With brands like, Anine Bing upping their lingerie game, we feel like 2018 is the perfect time to start showing it off more. We’ve always liked the idea of underwear as outerwear, but the thought has always been daunting. But no more in 2018! We’re taking the plunge and showing off the lingerie that cost us a large portion of the month’s rent! The pieces are too beautiful and too expensive to be hidden under bulky layers.
5. Get Rid of Stuff We Never Wore in 2017
We’re hoarders when it comes to our clothes. We’ve formed bonds with every item, whether we’ve ever worn them or not! However, space is getting tight and some pieces need to go. So, we’re starting 2018 with a purge of all the pieces that we’ve never worn in 2017. Going forth, the new rule for our closets will be 1 new item in, 1 old item out. It’s probably going to be the hardest resolution of them all.
