Happy New Year curvy divas! It's 2014 and many people are making resolutions. Are you making any? If so, what are they? I do have several plans in mind, some of them fashion-related. Before I share, I have a question for you. Have you thought about making any changes to your looks, or your style in general? I won't make anymore drastic changes as I did with my hair color last year (which wasn't even on my radar!). I do have some "Style Resolutions" for 2014.
Here's my list:
1) There are three items of clothing in my closet, brand new that I have yet to wear. [I bought two of them four years ago, and one last summer], while I was on my fitness quest (which I still am on by the way) and although I did finally fit into two of them, I never wore them anywhere. My goal this year is to wear at least one of those items this year.
2) I love to shop. While there are times when my shopping stint is "far and in between", when I buy any new clothing or shoes this year I will get rid of one item from my closet (the mini-fashion hoarder in my head is screaming "noo-ooo-oo").
3) I will not let what others think of my style discourage me from expressing my awesomeness. I will wear what I want, however the heck I want and I won't worry about other people's opinions. I'll just make sure not to show up in my birthday suit, and that my outfit is appropriate for whatever the occasion is.

4) I will continue to care for my tresses (my hair). I will go for a trim & a color. It's about time I allow someone else to touch these natural curls. The last time I did, it was for my "big chop". The hair stylist gave me such a whacked job, I haven't been in a hair salon since! [let's just pretend that's they only reason].

5) I will try one new clothing trend this year. I usually go with an accessory trend, that is, handbag, jewelry, belt, shoes, etc. When it comes to clothing, I like stylish clothes that pleases my style-sense and are not necessarily trendy. So whatever the trend is for this year, I'm going to find the plus size version of one trend, and reveal in a "Love it or Leave it?", and/or a "Found" article!
6) Hmmm, I'm thinking about my hair again, and now that I am officially a "red head", I would like to find that perfect color red that suits me. So there goes my "I won't make any changes to my hair" resolution because I am going to!
7) This one isn't for me, but rather, my 12 year old. She wants to pierce her ears. I may just let her do that this year. There's a whole story behind why I haven't done anything about it yet.
8) Of course I am throwing one style "dare" in the mix. I am going to wear a short dress on it's own (because I always, always layer with pants) or I'm going to find a lavishly printed skirt or pants suit to wear. I love prints however, they are usually floral or polka dots or stripes, something safe. OMG, I'm already cringing at wearing a short dress on its own!
So, there you have it. What do you think? Are these good style resolutions? Could it have been better? Have you made any? Come on, spill!
