Happy New Year!

Have you recovered yet?

If your Christmas has been anything like mine then you'll need several weeks to recover.

This Christmas was a particularly busy one for me this year with an unusually high number of social engagements and get-togethers, all of which I enjoyed immensely. I must admit though that although I love the hustle and bustle of a busy Christmas, I do look forward to a slightly more peaceful pace in January.

I really love new beginnings and New Year is an excellent time to embrace the 'New Year - New You' theme. I'm a great one for New Year's resolutions and make dozens every year, some of which I actually stick to! The secret is not to take it too seriously - set yourself achievable goals rather than reach for the unobtainable, that way, even if it's a small achievement you can still be really proud that you stuck to your guns.

Personally, I'm determined to organize my wardrobe this year - a job I have tried to do this in the past but have never really fully accomplished. I want a really efficient working wardrobe this year. I want to be able to open up the doors and instantly see an outfit rather than an array of separates that I then have to be bothered to team up. I can never remember which piece I wear with which and what jacket I wear with which trousers and so on. Well no more! I am going to organize myself and save myself a huge chunk of time each morning.

I'm also going to write a list of what's missing from my wardrobe - not just an excuse to go shopping you understand but a real attempt to organize my clothes. I know for sure that when the spring comes I'll be really short of lighter weight trousers - plenty of tweeds, plenty of delicate cottons but nothing for those in-between months. And I know now that I need some warmer P.J's having frozen this winter in short sleeved cotton ones.

Although I have a number of chunky towelling robes I don't have a summer weight dressing gown, so that will be on the list too! I'm sure the list will be longer than my budget but I'm determined to shop a little more conscientiously this year and buy things that I need rather than those I just like the look of. And I'm not stopping there! My jewellery and make-up are also going to get the same treatment - all those things that I keep putting to the back of the drawer are being sent off to charity and I'm getting busy on the list again.

I can see this year is going to be an expensive one so I need to work out what I'm going to give up in order to afford it - chocolate perhaps? Glossy magazines? Well, I'm sure I'll think of something but either way, I'm almost halfway through writing my list and I'm pretty sure that this is one resolution that I'll enjoy sticking to!
