Fashion is a combination of trends and style. The former is one that roves a futile exercise when you try to keep up with it. The latter is what gives fashion its notoriety of a powerhouse that takes care of how people look and feel because it is timeless.
There is no restriction to how you can express yourself unless you deal with a conservative area of work or religion or something. These resolutions are for everyone who wants to experiment in looking their best from now on.
Spend wisely
You do not need to break bank just because you have to look great. How many clothes do you wear in your wardrobe? Ask yourself how good it looks on you and whether you see yourself wearing it more than once. Normally, when buying something, it is advisable to cast your mind’s eye on your wardrobe. Is there anything that will match what you are buying? It does not matter that it is a great, singular find. If nothing matches it in your wardrobe, chances are that you may end up not wearing it.
Clean out your closet
The beginning of the year is a great time to clean out your closet and take note of all the forgotten pieces of clothes that you own. Some of them are still good to go while you may have outgrown the taste in others. You can sort them out to donate them or try your creativity on recreating some of these pieces. For instance, a plain T-shirt can be incorporated with African prints around the collar and sleeves or have a design sewn on it.
Throw out anything beyond repair
Shoes, jewelry, clothes. If it is beyond redemption throw it out. Is your closet or that place where you keep your clothes not overweighed enough? Most people are guided by the superstition that when old pieces are thrown out, someone can pick it up and you never know what charm may plague your life next.
You can simply burn them. However, many people think that it is only the dead whose clothes get burned and doing that will only get you bad omen. You can think as you wish but those thoughts will not change the fact that you need to throw those pieces out.
Accept that some styles do not work with your body type
Admire that one person who can rock just about anything? Well, guess what? That person is not you. Get over it. Make sure that every piece you own complements an amazing feature of your body. Every single one. If it does not, then it is evident that it does not suit you, or it is not your right size. Speaking of the right size, do you know which one is your right size? Or does anything just go? You need to figure this out before you spend carelessly on pieces that will not suit you very well.
