Style Resolutions 2013

Happy Friday! So yeah, I said to myself that I wasn't going to do New Year's resolution's this year because I never stick to them and its just a waste of time for me. However, I started thinking about this blog of mine and wanted to challenge myself to some style resolutions for 2013 that I think I will probably do achieve since I post daily outfit pics! So here are my top 5 I'm focusing on in 2013!

1. Take better style/scenery photos and use instagram more in promoting my OOTD details.

So I have the camera but not the knowledge of using a professional high tech camera. To solve my issues with my photography, I just signed up for a photography class that will teach me the functions of my camera and how/when to use them. I'm also going to take more photos that involve a mood or action.

I will start posting more of my daily outfits on instagram so if you're not following you might want to start following so you won't miss out on any details.. Follow me under the name "glowkouture".

2. Wear more prints and bright hues!

Yes, its my mission this year to wear more prints and bright bold hues. I'm an earth tone kind of girl and tend to stick with browns, nudes, blacks, greens and so on. This year 2013 I'm coming with reds, orange, pinks, electric blues and so on. I'm also on the hunt to post more outfits with prints such as paisley, animal prints (of course), geometric prints, polka dots, floral and ah stripes! 

Solange Knowles is my fashion inspiration!!

3. Remix more of my clothing in my closet! This is a must for me..

I'm challenging myself to do more wardrobe remixing and less buying. My closet is packed to the max with fabulous stuff but sometimes I overlook it and go out and buy new stuff. Soooooo, I'm in the process of organizing my closet and retiring some things that I haven't worn in a year or two and putting together workable outfits!

 4. Layering...clothing and accessories!

Ah layering don't you just love it! I live in North Carolina and the weather is crazy, one minute its 45 degrees the next its 70 degrees. So lately I've become a fan of layering and going with what the high temperature is going to be for that day instead of dressing for the season. I will be doing more layering in 2013 because its easier to take off than to put on. 

Love this!

5. Incorporate more trends into my personal styling

Trends oh Trends we love or hate them. My goal for 2013 is to incorporate more trends into my daily wear. I am a classic and refined, tailored preppy kind of dresser and sometimes stuck in my own ways. I do like trends in the fashion world but sometimes afraid to try them because I feel like its beyond my comfort level or not what I'm use to wearing. However, its a new year and that's about to change! :)
