New Year, New You

Welcome to 2012! Doesn't a new year feel great?! It's like a fresh start! New Year, New You...

Now, I am sure there are some of you out there who have already made your resolutions. Maybe you have vowed that this is the year to finally start eating better, or actually start using that treadmill for exercise instead of hanging your clothes off of. Whatever the case, good for you! 

Did you know though, that people who already feel good about how they look have more success sticking with weight loss and exercise goals? And the easiest way to start feeling good about how you look before you have reached your goals is to work with what you've got, and dress your best NOW! 

No, I'm not asking you to go out and buy an entire new wardrobe before you've reached your goals, but there are some things you can do now to make the most of what you've got so you can feel awesome now, and even awesomer (I know, that's not a word - just go with it!) when you reach your goals. Things like...

1) Accessorizing with a super funky statement belt to showcase your sexy curves.

2) Bringing the focus toward your gorgeous face with a sassy or sparkly necklace, or colourful scarf.

3) Cover up in a good way (and not with big and baggy pieces) with a shaped jacket. A fitted jacket is a great casual chic look with jeans, and will give you a great shape. And unless you are looking to lose a major amount of weight, it should still fit once you've reached your goals.
