'Ello poppets! Yep, tonight you are getting a pretty cray-cray version of me! Too much fun+lack of sleep= une femme de folle! I hope you all had amazing weekends! I certainly enjoyed my reunion with school friends. I admit, it is always so hard to leave them behind each time though.
First things first, I want to congratulate Erika of Cafe Fashionista on winning my Elle for a Year giveaway! I hope you will enjoy every page turn. I'll send you an email very soon girl with details :) Thanks to all who joined in the fun and stay on the lookout for more fun giveaways to come!
To continue with the theme of ringing in the new year and introducing changes to the blog, I wanted to kick off my first Resolution Sunday! Mara introduced the idea of setting smaller, more attainable weekly goals rather than year long goals that are often forgotten about within a few weeks. I loved the idea and decided to jump on board, but slightly late seeing as I missed the first Resolution Sunday. I decided to start off on a very practical foot, so this week's resolution is to complete a major closet cleanse! It has become so time consuming to sift through the multiple items that I never wear every morning to try and find the wearable clothes. Some are outdated, some just don't fit and others were merely bad purchasing decisions. Any way you look at it, these sad neglected items just don't have a place in my closet anymore. It is time to sort, organize and cleanse. Not only will I be able to create a much more workable closet, I will also help myself to become a much more practical shopper as I will now be able to clearly see what purchases are necessary, and which would be just impulse buys with no real justification. All in all, I think this is the perfect jumping off point for my weekly resolutions and year of change. And seeing how it goes, maybe you will get a peek into said closet to see the finished result!
So ladies, anyone else participating in Mara's little challenge? Making any smaller resolutions on your own? Any advice on a closet cleanse??

Bisous!
My closet could certainly use a cleanse...maybe I should get on this resolution bandwagon,too!
ReplyDeleteI definitely should do a cleanse soon. I was planning on it this weekend, but I was too busy to even start. Hopefully we'll both have beautiful, edited-down wardrobes soon!

ReplyDeletei actually usually do mini week-long resolutions as i find them much for helpful in attaining my larger resolution. a closet cleanse is a great way to start off the year!
ReplyDeletecute and little
come join the Color Brigade!
I think this is a great goal to have! I definitely need to do the same!
ReplyDeleteOkay, so I LOVE this idea and might just have to try it myself! I have such a hard time with big, seemingly hard-to-reach goals, but little goals seem more doable. And the closet cleanout idea is a great one!!
ReplyDeleteleaving high school friends is the worst! closet cleaning idea: we're doing a "clothing swap" at one of my friend's houses in a few weeks... hopefully i will give away more than i get, but it'll be fun to all trade around and let our old clothes get new lives!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the closet cleaning! I received a blog award and I'm passing it on you! Check out my latest post to see the details.
