hey guys happy 2017 which is such a
weird year to pronounce but nevertheless
it's got to be better than 2016 I know
everybody kind of makes fun of New
Year's resolutions because a lot of the
time but really unrealistic but I
actually really enjoyed them because I
feel like I'm constantly trying to
improve myself and most of the time
failing but I feel like it's a cool
chance to kind of reassess what's going
on in your life anyway and because
fashion is a huge part of my life this
year I am making some style resolutions
which I'm sharing with you guys so that
hopefully you can keep me accountable
and make me actually do these things so
my first resolution is to stop impulse
buying and invest in high quality pieces
instead I feel like lately I've had a
really bad relationship with shopping in
fashion in general and going out
shopping has just made me feel guilty
I've been buying a lot of pieces just
because they're on sale or they're super
trendy or just in the moment I thought
they were a good idea but they turned
out to be kind of low-quality or they
don't fit quite right or they're just
like a little bit off in the color so I
tend not to reach for them anyway
and this results in me having a wardrobe
that I don't really love that's full of
weird pieces that are a little bit off
and it makes me return a lot of my own
anyway in the past three months I've
bought 26 items and returned six of them
which means that I'm just wasting a lot
of time and money going shopping and not
really finding things that I love I
watched this Netflix documentary on
minimalism lately and I've been
following this minimalist fashion vlog
on fancy which I will link below and
they've really made me think about how I
approach my clothing and my lifestyle in
general basically what they say is that
every single item in your closet should
bring you happiness and bring you
utility so this year instead of buying
just a bunch of crap that's on sale I'm
definitely going to try to actually go
to high-quality well-made stores like
made well
Topshop stuff from Nordstrom that is
normally a little bit out of my price
range
but I'm just gonna buy less and buy
higher quality items I feel like a lot
of the time when I buy something anyway
like for example I'm searching for a
really good pair of black jeans I'll buy
a pair of jeans that's on sale or that's
really cheap but it's not the perfect
pair so I end up still on the hunt for
the
a pair of black jeans and maybe I'll buy
two or three more pairs before I find
one that I really like or maybe I'll
never find one that I like anyway so why
not spend all that money instead on one
really high-quality item that I'm gonna
use for a long time I know this is gonna
be kind of hard for me because I hate
spending a lot of money on clothing at
once I love feeling like I got a really
good deal but hopefully making this
resolution video will help encourage me
and remind me to just buy high-quality
pieces and I love will actually to help
me enforce this I'm going to only buy 12
pieces of clothing this entire year
which I am kind of scared about doing
because I buy so much clothing and I
absolutely love shopping and I am a
little bit scared that I'm gonna like
fall behind on the trends but I want to
be able to in actually invest in those
twelve pieces and stop this weird habit
of impulse buying
so obviously I'm not gonna be able to
make the traditional haul video where I
show you guys like 20 pieces of clothing
but what I think I'm gonna start doing
is doing one item home videos so it's
gonna show my whole thought process
behind buying this one really perfect
piece of clothing which will hopefully
show you guys and help myself understand
that it's okay to not buy a lot of stuff
and to really think about what you spend
your money on another style resolution
kind of going along with the first one
is that I actually want to wear
everything in my wardrobe believe it or
not I've bought some really cute pieces
from probably like a year ago they're
nice dresses they're flare pants the
things that are a little bit out there
and I've never really had the courage to
wear them that I want to wear this year
because I've already spend the money on
them and they're waiting for me in my
closet and I should just be wearing
those instead of buying new clothes my
next style resolution is to just put in
more effort in general if you guys are
in college like me everybody dresses so
casually and sometimes especially when
you have just like 180 in class it's
really hard to bother to dress up and
put on makeup and do your hair for like
a two hour lecture to where you're just
gonna sit in the back anyway
this past semester I have been super
guilty of just wearing sweatshirts and
jeans to most of my classes and although
it's been really comfy it's actually
kind of taken a toll on my self-image
and my
steam in general so I really want to get
back to putting in more effort and after
taking pride in my style along that line
I really want to experiment more with my
hair and makeup this year and actually
style my hair properly every day because
I have bothered to dye this hair to hell
and back and it might as well be looking
fat
most of the time I'll kind of just throw
it up in a ponytail or leave it frizzy
and straight but it is time to pull out
my curling iron again and actually make
my hair look good along the same vein
there is so much in the world of makeup
for me to explore most of the time I
kind of just focus on covering up my
acne and making my brows look like they
exist but makeup can actually be a
really cool way to change up my look
especially lipsticks which in a moment
of weakness I bought a lot of lately can
help change an outfit out but tip I
learned from on fancy about fashion
bloggers that I mentioned earlier as
well is that whenever you're feeling
tempted to buy a new piece of clothing
or you're feeling like your wardrobe
doesn't have anything new in it just
channel that instead ain't you changing
up your hair and makeup which i think is
super good advice because even though I
may have worn all the outfits in my
wardrobe there are just an infinite
number of hairstyles and makeup looks
that I've never tried my last Tyrrell
solution is a little bit more vague but
it's kind of just to find my own style
and define it a little bit better I feel
like right now I have two distinct
Styles one is more clean and modern
involves a lot of like black and mock
necks and stuff like that and then the
other is more retro and vintage inspired
like I am wearing right now I think it's
okay that I have two different styles
but I'm gonna try to find a way to melt
those together and kind of have a more
distinct image of what my style is and
that concludes my style resolutions for
this year I really hope you guys enjoyed
them and let me know what your style
resolutions are in the comments below
I'm so excited for the year to come and
everything it has to offer I hope you
