Reviving New Year Resolutions

Oh my giddy aunt I really can't believe it is already late February. All those new year resolutions made so enthusiastically in December for many of us are distant memories. So I'm here to rev them up again and remind you how important looking good is linked to feeling good.

Here are a few of my new year resolutions and I challenge you to think about adopting some of them too. It's not too late people!

1. Compliment more people on looking good. I try to do this, but am determined to do it more often. It sometimes feels a bit weird to stop someone in the street or tell someone at work how nice they look, but think back to times this has happened to you and how chuffed you felt. This feeling often lingers all day and also inspires people to make a bit more of an effort.

2. Exercise. This is the usual resolution, if not for the inches on your Xmas and holiday waistline then do it for your mind. Exercise and mental happiness has been linked in numerous studies. I believe the key is to finding an exercise that fits into your day (walking to work) or even getting off the bus or parking the car a couple of streets away. Or finding something you love. For me, it is Bikram Yoga.

3. Buy less clothing and use what you have more. This will be my biggest challenge. I LOVE clothes and am surrounded by gorgeous pieces every day. But less can be more. Often people can feel overwhelmed by too many clothes in the wardrobe. Have a good clearout, get some clarity, buy less and be adventurous with the pieces you already have.

4. One of my favourite quotes by Ernest Holmes is "where the mind goes, energy flows". I believe this to be very true. I want people to take 30 seconds each day to do something that is very rare, which is to look in the mirror. Make the effort to leave the house feeling good about what you are wearing, and watch the knock-on effect.

5. Smile. The best thing someone can wear each day in front of friends, family or strangers is a genuine, friendly smile.

FAQ

I am really keen to see a consultant. What are the key things you should look at when choosing a stylist?

Referrals are key. Talk to people and see who has seen a consultant and how they found their service. Look for a service that covers colours and shapes. Some consultants only focus on certain areas and if you are not getting the full package, you will not benefit as much from your experience.

For instance, having your shape assessed is as vital as having your colours done. There is no point in wearing great coloured clothing, if it doesn't suit your shape!

Q: I want to break out of wearing black but I just don't know what colours suit me?

Yes, it is very hard to break the black habit if you are unsure as to what is a good alternative. So don't feel alone in this!

The best thing you can do is either hire someone from www.wardrobeflair.com and they can come and do your colours and assess your shape and talk you through what you need and also take you personal shopping to show you the colours and shapes that best suit you.

If you want to try and go it alone, think of the times you have had compliments with certain colours you wear and try and build this up.
