My Style Resolution

I’m sure there are a lot of New Year’s resolutions out there. I’m sure many people have chosen to lose weight or kick a bad habit. Maybe it’s to work less and spend more time with your family. Hey, I don’t knock it because I have some changes I’d like to make myself. But, on a light-hearted note, I’ve decided to make some resolutions to my personal style as well. I’m not too big on trends because trends come and go. I’m not saying there is anything wrong with adding a few trends to your wardrobe (because I do occasionally), but I’m more interested in a look that sticks around for the long haul. That’s where personal style comes in. My style? It may be hard to define, but I know it when I see it. I guess you could say there’s a lot of downtown edge with a little uptown sophistication. As long as I feel comfortable and relaxed, then it’s all good. At one time I only wore sneakers and jeans because that was very comfortable for me. But now, as my style has evolved, I can say that the tomboy in me is trying to embrace her inner vixen. So that leads me to my first resolution:

#1.Wear my heels more often

Take Flight

I’ve started to realize that I actually like bird prints; not all, but quite a bit. I’m more drawn to prints that capture the beauty of jewel tones, you know, prints that are a bit more lively rather than very woodsy & natural.

Over the past year or so, I’ve noticed how I’m really interested in vintage prints which display birds as well. Not only have I taken a fascination to these creatures of flight, I’ve also been intrigued by their unique cages. So, I was especially delighted when I saw the hat below.
