My New Year's Resolutions

Some people make 'em, some people prefer not to put the pressure on themselves. Have you made any resolutions for 2011? I've made a number of them: specific goals for how I want to guide my personal style and my blog through the New Year.

{above: my outfit on New Years Eve}

 
  • Purchase any new clothing or accessories wisely. Also, better budgeting, smarter spending!
  • Declutter unnecessary items in life: clean out my closet (again!)
  • Continue to transform spare bedroom into a dressing room.
  • Surround myself with people who inspire me.
  • Undergo a hair make-over (cut and colour) early in 2011.
  • Wear more heels in 2011 and add more wedges/platforms to my collection.



  



  • Increase engagement and find ways to interact more with my readers
  • View and comment on blogs that are listed in my Blogroll 2X per week.
  • Produce a minimum of 3 blog posts per week.
  • Always return the favor of commenting on others' blogs who take the time to comment on mine!
  • Write an "evergreen post" once per month.
  • Learn html and CSS more thoroughly over the next 6 months.
  • Pitch a relevant article to contribute to Independent Fashion Bloggers (IFB) within 3 months
  • Offer a giveaway to my readers at least quarterly.
  • Aim to write posts liker a writer, not just a blogger.
  • Be sure to upload each outfit I post onto Chictopia as well.
  • Plan to update camera to a more advanced model within the year.
  • Start using a more sophisticated photo editing source or software within 1 month.

These sound like great resolutions! I don't generally make any specific ones, as I'm in the group of not wanting to put pressure on myself, but sometimes I do think it's good to set specific goals! I also REALLY want to upgrade my camera - my friend Kristin just got an awesome one and it makes SUCH a huge difference. Must figure out how to get one in the next few months! Happy 2011!

Great goals! When it comes to working with html I always found w3schools to be a great help. Perhaps it would be something worth checking out!
