Over the holidays I contributed to a post about Style Resolutions on Wear What When. Laura Cassidy, style editor at Seattle Metropolitan and editor of Seattle Metropolitan Bride & Groom - as well as the aforementioned very stylish blog - solicited fashion slanted New Year's Resolutions from a slew of style obsessed Seattleites and shared them with her readers. I'm going on record with this plan, and will document it here on my blog...
Being a designer myself, one might think I wear nothing but my own designs, but that's simply not true. Although there are a fair amount of glam.spoon dresses and skirts hanging in my closet after nearly six years in business, I'm a true collector and have dozens of favorite items - many without a label. But in the spirit of reducing my carbon footprint, I've decided it's time to let go (a little). I've already weeded out the bulk of items that haven't been worn recently, so I'm well on my way to net zero - if not "net negative." At the end of this year, I want a wardrobe that is so suited to me, so full of pieces that I love, that I can't wait to get dressed in the morning.
And another thing: I don't care what the rest of the country says about our fashion sense here in the Pacific Northwest - we have some savvy folks in Seattle! Laura's own resolution to "stop over-thinking things and wear what I want to wear!" could be the Western Washington manifesto. This list of Style Resolutions includes a diverse cross section of creative folks who have a lot to say about their relationship with fashion. You can read the full article here.
Now there’s a resolution we can keep…out with the old, in with the new! We too believe that the clothes we live in have a stronger relationship with our inner selves than many realize. Thanks for sharing these valuable insights with your fellow fashionistas as we start fresh (on the inside and out) this New Year!
