New Year's Resolution


As my credit card strains under the pressure of the post Christmas sales, and the mail-woman gives me that formidable stare as she hands me yet another package, I cant help but feel less than satisfied with my array of purchases.
As I stand, ankle-deep in a sea of Australia Post packaging, sprinkled over my bedroom floor, I stare blankly into my wardrobe hoping a ready-made outfit will jump out at me.

‘Why do my latest editions look so out of place?’  

I didn’t expect to find my New Year’s resolution in my cupboard, but there it was, staring me blankly in the face, a plethora of ill-fitting garments and prints that clash in a bad way. My New Year’s resolution is a more coherent wardrobe filled with versatile pieces, well-made basics and a few standouts to spice things up. Here’s to a year of savvy spending and snappy dressing with a few outfit compilations from my favourite labels.
