New Year's Resolution #1 - Get Stuff That Fits!

Buttoning Blouse - Clothes that FitAll of the New Year’s celebrations are done and the long weekend has finally come to an end. Now it is time for us to review our New Year’s Resolutions to see if we can really follow through. I have one more resolution for you: Buy clothes that fit…don’t settle!

If it doesn’t button on your bust don’t buy it! Make sure the girls fit in the garment in the first place please!! There is nothing more unattractive than a top or a dress that cuts dead center across the boobs! Don’t buy it just because you like the color or the print! Ask yourself does the shape flatter you? Don’t ever use the excuse that it was on sale. Don’t buy it unless it fits! Save that money for something that does!

Keep this in mind while you are out shopping in the new year. Only purchase items that you can already picture yourself looking great and have a clue where and when you will wear it …and if it fits... that’s a winner!

Think about all the purchases you made last year that don’t fit or that you really weren’t feeling but bought anyway because it was on sale. Add it up. Could you have purchased something better instead that you would have really gotten your money’s worth?

Spend your hard earned money on the good stuff. Not the crap that is going to fall apart on you or spend the next year looking at the inside of your closet. Put your money into that one great piece that will be a building block instead of five throw aways! Just make sure you get stuff that fits.

Do you have any New Year’s Resolutions about your wardrobe?
