The start of a new year brings
with it resolutions. Most people want to change something. They may want to
improve their finances, read more, get in shape, take up a hobby, you name it
everyone sets their mind to do something. Whether they accomplish it or not, is
another story, but I want to focus on a different type of goal. This year I was
exposed to a different side of fashion. I must say it sparked something in me
and my inner Fashionista wants to come out. I’ve never thought about setting
fashion related goals, but it’s a new year so I’m doing something new. These
are goals that anyone can do to change their look and impression about fashion.
So here they are Fashionable
Goals for 2016:
Attend a Fashion
Show
I’ve
always heard about NYFW. When I was hooked on Sex in the City I imagined what
it would be like to attend. The fashion, makeup, models, food, and other
events! It might be a bit of a stretch to attend this particular fashion show,
but I also learned there are local fashion events. From local designers and
even store events. This year add attending a fashion event to your list of
goals. I would love to see the behind the scenes action and really start to
understand what it takes to put on a fashion event, and of course enjoy the
fashions.
Get a style
consultation
That’s
right be ‘rich and famous’ for a day and get styled! A stylist or image
consultant can help bring out your best in fashion. It may be time for a
change. My job requires a professional look, and it’s starting to be a bit
boring. I want to still be glam at the office without overdoing it. An image
consultant can help me revamp my wardrobe.
Clean out your
closet!!!
This is a huge
one for me. I have clothes that I have not worn or can’t fit. It’s time for
them to go. Out with the old and in with the new. Revamp your style, while
doing a good deed. Donate your article of clothing to a local charity or give
them to someone in need.
Catalog your closet
There
are fashion apps available that can digitally store your wardrobe. This will
save time when getting ready, you can create a style from anywhere. Having your
closet with you while shopping can help you build up your wardrobe and prevent
you from buying duplicate or similar pieces. The best part, you won’t wear the
same thing twice!
Take pictures
I
rarely have pictures taken of myself, other than the occasional selfie. When
you get photographed you have a better idea of what you look like and it can
give you some direction. Having professional pictures taken forces you to get
glam and is a good boost for your self-esteem. On regular days it gives you a
honest look at what others see. You may decide your current style choices
aren’t working or maybe they are peftect and you can help another lady bring
out her inner Fashionista.
Choose a style icon
(or two)
Find someone
who’s style you really like. Use your style icon as inspiration. Create a
fashion board. It’s like a vision board for clothes.
Treat yourself!
Commit to
buying yourself at least 1 new outfit a month or whatever works for your
budget. This should be a complete outfit, including accessories.
