GOALS: in terms of fashion

In attempt to find myself again after the most trying year of my life (please just END, 2009!), I’m trying NOW to get things in order for a much-more enjoyable 2010.  Although I promised myself I’d be more regular in writing, as a means of at least engaging with my passions (fashion! design! art!) whilst otherwise stuck in this unending monotony of everyday (can you tell I’m at work?), I’ve again failed.

POO.

This time though, instead of dwelling on it, and feeling poorly about my lack of will/adult ADD/intimidation in the face of great challenge, I am starting today, i.e. NOT waiting until January 1, to begin making positive changes.  For instance, I’ve already taken two of my three daily baby-makin’ meds (seriously a coup on my normal scatterbrainedness; I just went the whole four-day holiday weekend forgetting to do so…)!

So there.

While my real-life goals are plentiful and lofty (have a baby, be more satified in my career, lose weight/be more HEALTHY for said baby, have more energy, clean up after myself, take meds/vitamins daily <– ALREADY DONE!,  etc…), my fashion/style goals are much more fun to think about!

2010 ChicGoals

• Get items repaired straight away, instead of waiting to build up and immense mountain of them “to do at once”
• Repair items in said mountail, which have built up over past several years (zipper on coach bag; fendi bag as a whole must be reconditioned; reheal black CK and RL boots; have Frye boots (vintage!  Paul’s mom’s from the 70′s!) altered to fit)
• Dry clean clothes regularly instead of letting them sit around, and mostly instead of wearing them when I know better…
• Keep closet in a state at least resembling orderly
• Get real with self and put away clothes that no longer fit (TEAR!)
• Identify wardrobe gaps and fill them – I realized this morning that I honestly don’t have a single pair of black dress pants…although I do have 109 dresses (yes, I keep a spreadsheet to catalog them. and my shoes)
• Get back to my thrifting roots for some unique finds instead of being so designer-conscious
• Sew myself some goodies with my favorite Christmas gift of the year!
