for auld lang syne

So here we are: the end of 2011, and another year gone by. My first full calendar year in the 206 has brought many happy times, some sad ones, a couple surprises, a few triumphs, and a handful of minor tragedies. I’m not the biggest fan of New Year’s resolutions; in my mind, they conjure images of hopeless weight loss struggles, abandoned by February in a bout of tears and frustration. Seattle Met recently ran a piece listing Seattle style pundits, local business owners and creative types and reported their style resolutions for 2012. I can certainly think of a few style-related 'resolutions' I'd like to work on in 2012 myself: take more risks; only buying quality, 'investment' pieces; edit my wardrobe down to the bare bones of what I actually do need and wear regularly. In the next year, I will be writing on style and beyond: fear not, for I will still be posting on events and other crazy goings-on in the realm of fashion.

And so, in 2012, I vow to dress to the nines in all facets of life: in style, in work, and at play. I pledge to be less hard on myself, to work on being more patient, and being the best 'me' I can be so that I can be of help to others. In 2012, I want to be the best sister, daughter, coworker and friend that I am capable of being.

I will try not to worry so much, because, at the end of the day, there’s just not that much to be really worried about.

I will practice an attitude of gratitude, because I have much to be thankful for.


Cheers to another year, dear readers. A very Happy New Year to you.

best,

-dau
