Sparkle and Shine into 2016!
Wednesday, December 30, 2015 4:00 AM
Sometimes around the holidays so many of our outfits revolve around sequins and sparkle
(see earlier post from this week), paying little to no attention to shine. When I saw these Alice and Olivia trousers I immediately fell in love. The jewel toned material felt and looked luxurious. I have worn them countless times and styled them differently each time. Dressed up or down, they are definitely a statement piece.
Now onto a resolution or four...
I hate making promises I can't keep. Resolutions are exactly that for me, promises to myself that I can not (or do not) keep, so I will keep them brief. Instead of the the regular 'I will read more, work out more, be more present, blah blah blah'...
1. I will take care of myself this year. PERIOD.
Physically and mentally.
2. Other than my son of course, I will not live my life to make anyone else happy. What is good for some people may not be good for others. I will do what is good for me.
3. I will not fear judgement from others because they are unhappy with themselves.
4. I will try my hardest to not engage in gossip or talking negatively about myself or others
Last year I adopted the old adage 'If it doesn't involve me, it doesn't concern me' and truly it has made me a happier person.
What are some of your resolutions??
I hope you all have a happy and safe New Year!
xx, Elise

Happy New Year! I have similar resolutions including eating healthy - there's too many sweets and carbs in Germany!
