I don’t usually make New Years resolutions because I never really try hard to keep them. This year however I am going to make one and keep it! I am a self confessed shopaholic, I just can’t help myself. Buying new clothes, shoes and bags makes me feel good (and look good). I spend alot of time browsing online, I pick something out, I think about it all day even dream about it until I can no longer resist. Before I know it, it is in my shopping cart and I am entering my credit card details. I usually think ‘oh I won’t keep it all, just some of it’. I love the thrill of new deliveries arriving at my door, racing upstairs to look at my new treasures and trying them all on. I ALWAYS keep it all, it is always love at first sight and I just can’t package it back up and send it back.

However, I am getting older now and I have insurance to pay on my car and I want to save up to move in with my Fiance at some point. I also have so many clothes, shoes and bags that I just can’t fit any more in my room, no space at all (and my room is ample size!) The other day I rediscovered a lilac bodycon skirt I bought from Topshop 3 years ago. It has been on twice and I had debated if I should put it on ebay but I just couldn’t let it go. I put it on with my sparkly vest from H&M (another new buy!) which is a way I had never wore it before. All of this got me thinking, I don’t NEED to buy new stuff, I have plenty of clothes to choose from I just don’t wear them.

Soooooooo…..my New Years resolution is to rediscover clothes I haven’t worn in a while and reinvent them by wearing them in different ways, different combinations I haven’t tried before. I hope that this helps to curb my addition as it will be like having new clothes since I haven’t worn them in forever. I intend to do my regular outfit posts and tell you each time what I have rediscovered and reinvented.

Wish me luck!
