In With The New

Well hello 2015, nice to meet you! 

Yesterday I took a good look back at 2014 and had some fun remembering all the highlights.  Today, I spent the majority of the day in my pajamas, watching movies, chillaxin with my family and having long indulgent thinks about the coming year.

Proof I eventually got dressed... in pants.

Jeans $2.80, plaid shirt $6 and even my socks $1, all VV Boutique

Resolutions get such a bad rap but I don't care, I like 'em.  I'm a goal-oriented person - that's why I started this blog to begin with - and it's in my nature to break things down into achievable steps (we OTs like to call that task analysis).  I find fresh starts rejuvenating and inspiring!  So naturally, this is my favourite time of year!  In 2013, I made a matrix of 13 goals with 13 parts each...  No, I didn't achieve half of my list but I sure had fun making the matrix!  Last year, I simplified my goals and am happy to report that I achieved what I wanted for this little ol' blog.  This year, I have new goals and can hardly wait to get going on them!  One of my goals: increase my audience (readership, followers, likes - however you want to call it!).

A girl can't help but dream!

This has never before been my goal, but I think it's time.  That's where YOU come in!  If you enjoy stopping by VV Boutique Style - the blog, Facebook, Twitter, Intagram or Pinterest - consider sharing.  Pass on a link, recommend it to a friend, or make the bold move to like and comment!  I don't post for likes, but it sure feels nice to get them! 

As for content, here's my second request: tell me what YOU want to see on VVBS!  The last time I asked this question, I wound up posting about bathing suits which was then scrolled on Breakfast TV so I'll say upfront, that's as little as I'm wearing!  I'm no supermodel, and logistics dictate some fashion blogger factors (i.e., I have a small budget, my best photographer is a 4-year-old, etc.) but barring that, I am open to ideas!  In 2015, you can expect more tales of thrifting adventures, thrifted interpretations of stylish looks for the everyday woman, more Monday Style Prompts, invitations to thrifting events and fashion challenges... For example, it IS January and that means Black Out Style is coming!  Wear your black now because Monday January 5th starts four weeks of colour!  Is there anything else you're looking for?  Inquiring minds want to know!  (that's me)

While you're thinking on that, here's a recap of my Dressember looks!  It is not too late to donate to help advocate for the dignity of all women!  Dressember and the International Justice Mission have raised nearly $500 000!  That is something to celebrate!

I will always love dresses more, but I was sure happy to wear pants today!  

While you're commenting on my first two requests, you might as well tell me, which Dressember look was your favourite?!
