Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (AKA 2008)

The year will be over in just under two hours, and since I'm way tired and don't feel like going out, I'm lying on the couch in my basement watching Veronica Mars on DVD and thinking about new years resolutions. Not the gonna-eat-better-lose-a-thousand-pounds variety, however (NOT that there's anything wrong with that). I'm thinking a little more in the fashion realm, for the most part. And obvs you wanna hear all about it!

I Resolve To:

1. Be More Adventurous. I don't mean just in the way I dress, though that is a big part of it, but also in the way that I act. I tend to be somewhat of a recluse (read: total hermit) and I think it's time to do something about that!

2. Take Outfit Pictures Every Day. This will be made far easier if I am, in fact, allowed to take the family tripod back to school like my mother implied I would when I said I wanted a tripod for Christmas. Even if I don't end up posting all of them (which I probs won't), I think it would be interesting just to have a visual log of my style and how it develops.

3. Be A Better Blogger! Obvs this is very important, since I am currently a totally suck-ass blogger. I really want to get to the point where a day without blogging is like a day without...um, cheese? I don't know. You get the idea.

4. Only Buy Clothes/Shoes I Will Actually Wear. I don't do this as often as I used to, but it's still a bit of an issue, especially with shoes. I think my main problem is buying things for the person I want to be, rather than the person I am. OR I buy shoes with 5" heels and no platform that kill my feet after about twelve seconds. You know how that is.

5. Knit/Crochet More. And not just from patterns! My real goal here is to get good enough to do something at least somewhat innovative, and everyone knows that practice makes perfect! (Or, as Michelle Duggar says, "Practice makes progress") Also of note here is that I'm not just talking scarves, and I'm not just going to use super-chunky weight yarn. I recently tried doing lace and I really like it!

6. Eat Better Lose A Thousand Pounds. DUH!!!

So happy New Year everybody (aka the like, three people that read this) and I hope 2009 treats you (and me) very well! 

In with the old, out with the new! Or...wait. Scratch that, reverse it. (I actually did type that before realizing it was wrong, and decided it was an excellent opportunity for a Willy Wonka/Ultimate-love Gene Wilder reference).
