five.

black pants (Reitmans); black dress (Banana Republic); black cardigan (Old Navy); shoes (Payless); gold chains (grandma); whistle chain (stole it from the b/f)

I was super duper feeling this outfit yesterday! I felt chic and comfortable. It could also be because I cleaned out my closet this past weekend. Oh yes. And actually got rid (well, donated) several items of clothing I have been holding onto for several reasons but never really wearing. I am very proud of myself :)

I am very much into layering right now - as you may have read in previous posts. I feel that it provides me with a bit of maturity and professionalism and will help me transition into bigger and better things at work. What's that old saying - dress for the job you want, not the job you have?

In other news, I have 5 followers. Woohoo! Not quite sure what that really means but it's kinda fun to see. So, thanks and welcome! Glad you seem to like what you see/read.

12 new things.

Resolution: try 12 new things over the next 12 months.

I don't have them all figured out yet...but through this exercise I have discovered what my resolution for next year will be...12 trips over the 12 months of 2011. Like a road trip every month. Could be anything - a big trip, a little weekend jaunt, even a day away.

However, I digress...for this month, January = yoga....
(....and trying to create and stick to a budget)
Sexy. I know.

p.s. Outfit post to be photographed this evening and posted tomorrow.

resolving to make resolutions??

Resolutions. Many make them. Few keep them.

While mine include many of the basics - saving money, losing weight, spending more time with loved ones - I am trying a new approach this year.

I will try a new "thing" every month.
It will range from trying a new sport, discovering a new restaurant, not spending a dime all month....I will try 12 new things in 2010 and mark them all in my blog.

I will also post my outfits because it truly did help me last year in not repeating what I wore and finding new ways to wear items - which will come in handy during 'don't spend a dime month". Ha!

This month...and yes, I am aware we are 12 days into it...will be yoga. My brother gave me some yoga DVD's for Christmas, plus, I will be signing up for hot yoga as well.

I am excited and hope you enjoy the journey as much as I do. I'm not sure I'm expecting any enlightenment by the end of the year but I hope to be able to be happy with what I've accomplished and maybe, just maybe, even be a motivation to others.

no man's blog land

Hey Hey Hey...

It has been awhile!

I read other blogs almost daily but don't think I've found my niche in this crazy land of the blog.
I love fashion and love that documenting my outfits helped me get more use out of my closet. It sucks though that I don't have a camera to be able to download the photos everyday...I may have discovered a way to do it and that would just be more fun anyways.

Life is fantastic right now!
I have a great man who loves me and I get to decorate his new condo! I may talk about that a bit now too. Work is great, family and friends are lovely. I like that the blog helps keep me positive.

So..to any readers out there :) I'll be back with a more definitive direction soon.

Have a terrific day!

*hugs*
