I love making New Year resolutions. The idea of a fresh start is so motivating! This year I have an impressively long resolutions list…which I’m in the process of putting into an inspiration board J
While thinking about all of the things I’d like to change or accomplish in 2013, I began thinking about some fashion-related goals I have as well. My personal resolutions are obviously going to be much more of a priority, but I figured it couldn’t hurt to set some style goals!
My five fashion resolutions (with pictures from my 2013 Pinterest board):
1. Experiment with hair-styles.
This could mean hair-cuts (why am I loving short hair so much?!), color, bang style, or just general day to day style! I’ve had the same do for a while now and I’m getting antsy for a change
2. Wear taller shoes.
I love how heels/wedges make my calves look. Why shouldn’t I celebrate that more during the year?
3. Wear more lipstick.
I know this one won’t make Kyle jump up and down, since he hates lipstick kisses (HA!), but I love the look of bold red lips and I fully intend on wearing them more often.
4. Care less about what people think.
I have always taken other people’s opinions into consideration when I get dressed. Not this year. I will wear whatever shorts and whichever swim suit. NO CARE. If people aren’t into the vintage old-lady look, they’re going to have to deal with it 
5. Monogram everything.
I’m going to be 100% honest with you—I love monogrammed things mainly because my name is changing in May and I’m super excited. Therefore I will be needing some new accessories with MNN stamped all over them 
Plus, monogram is so darn classy.
There you have it. My top 5 fashion resolutions for 2013! To sum it all up, I want to be bolder and womanly and I want to wear whatever I please. Yolo, right?
What are your fashion resolutions for this year? Happy 2013!!

Hi, I'm Gina. Welcome to The Fitnessista! I love blogging about my adventures as a new mom, military wife and fitness instructor, as well as sharing new workouts and recipes. Check out the About page for more info - thanks for stopping by!
I love your style! You always look so pretty and well polished in pics. I’m jealose. I’m usually a hot mess of workout clothes and ponytail.
Which brings me to my style resolution:
NOT always wear workout clothes and a ponytail!!!!!
Seriously. I’m actually very into floral ruffle girly things so I want my style to reflect that. I purchased some pieces over the holidays to motivate me!
Great resolutions- I may have to steal a few of them
One that I made was to make myself presentable every day. Even if I throw on a sweatshirt & put my hair up, still swipe on some mascara, blush and concealer. It seems to make my day better.
some of mine:
–accessorize more! i don’t own a lot of accessories, and even with what i do have, i always forget and leave the house without jewelry/ scarf/ sungasses/ etc… accessories just aren’t my forte, but i know they can really make or break a look.
–try new makeup and beauty techniques. i have been stuck in the same eyeliner, mascara, and blush routine for years. i signed up for birchbox after reading your post on it, so hopefully that will help me find some new products!
–this seems like a no-brainer, but WEAR MORE SUNSCREEN. i finally grew up and quit baking in tanning beds a few years ago, but i’m still not very good at slathering the stuff on before i go outside. i know i’ll thank myself for it someday.
great idea to make beauty resolutions!
I am unabashed in my love of monograms! My fashion resolution is totally to continue to play around with my hair. I did my first blow-out two days ago…it took me forever but I was thrilled because it came out so good. Practice makes perfect.
If something is monogrammed, I am instantly in love with it!
Mine would be just to switch it up a bit more and have more fun with my outfits. I tend to wear a variation of the same v neck and nice jeans every day.
I love the way wedges make my calves look too! haha
I think that you would look great with red lipstick…..my bf hates lipstick too but he’s a little more tolerable if I wear a matte lipstick rather than a gloss.
All of my friends laugh at my retro high-waisted bathing suit too but I don’t care because I like it!
xo, jin
I am ALLLLLLLL about monograms!
xx
Some great ideas! Love the lipstick ideas
I love your fashion resolutions! Mine is to get rid of clothes I don’t ever wear and replace them with looks I can wear more than once
I also want to monogram things since I got married last year I haven’t made any!
I absolutely love this! I have always thought your style was fearless, and it is definitely a look you pull off well! I am at a point where I am ready to just wear what I want, when I want without worrying about other peoples opinions as well. Good for you!
I recently heard a sylist say something like: Once a week you should walk out of the house wearing something that you deep down wonder if you can really pull it off.
That’s my summary of what was said.
I’m 32 (but normally feel closer to 25), so sometimes I’m afraid to dress too young. But last week I wore a grey dress, purple tights and ankle boots. Man, I wasn’t super confident in it at first but quickly warmed up to the ensemble. So I want to step out of my comfort zone a little more often with my style.
Oh gee thanks I just bought those Tory Burch sunglasses! I needed them.
you definitely did
i love this so much!
coincidentally, #2 #3 and #4 are all on my list!!
#4 especially resonated with me! people mostly wear flower halos on their head for weddings and such? well, i don’t care! even if i’m studying in the library all day and some may think i am an oddball for sporting a flower halo, but i don’t care! i do what i want
