New Year's Day

Well...it's 2012. Happy New Year!

This is the year I graduate! It's a bit hard to imagine all the changes that will take place in the months to come, but even though change is a bit hard for me, I know that good things will come, and I'm pretty excited.

I woke up this morning feeling really good about the coming year. I know that there are a lot of things that I definitely can and would like to work on, so I wrote down some goals that I feel are very do-able (30-some of them) for myself to start working on. In my last post I mentioned that I missed dressing more creatively, so that was one of the first things I thought of while writing my list. I feel like I've got a pretty good start on it already!

I thrifted this skirt a couple of days ago for $8, only to find out later that it's by Vivienne Tam. So I imagine that it was quite pricey to begin with! The pattern and material are so unique, and I really love the shape of it as well! I've also been wanting a detatched collar (do they have an actual name?) for a while now, so I finally just cut this one off of a blouse that I never really wore, and I love it! It adds so much to just about anything, and it was super easy to do, too!

I hope you all had fun last night! Have you made any goals for yourselves for the new year?

Here's to all that's to come!
