Happy New Year
Starting every year is exciting to me because I always wonder what will be new this year. I have come up with 5 things I want to make a part of my life…now we'll see how successful I am. One is so mundane that I will tell you about it: make my closet look like my friend, Preston's. Hers made such an impression on me that I actually started this week-end and pulled out 15 outfits I haven't worn in at least 5 years to give away. One down (sort of), 4 to go…and 12 months to do them!
