2013 : a fashion resolution

♥  ♥  ♥




Fashion fades, only style remains the same
                                    Coco Chanel


With a new year comes thoughts of getting older (& wiser?), & with age comes an evolution of style. Many resolutions will be made when the clock strikes midnight, & one of those is, simply, to invest in classic & quality fashion pieces going forward. The older I get, the more I am willing to purchase fewer items that will last longer, & translate to many different looks. 

In this age of instant fashion-gratification, at the click of the button, it is so easy to be too influenced by the millions of images floating through the internets, too easy to confuse your taste & style by this abundance of inspiration. . . but finally, I have discovered my personal style -- & this is not to say I will never buy a 'fad' piece again, but it does mean I am a wiser fashionista coming into 2013 & with a few key fashion icons guiding me, I know this is a resolution I will certainly be keeping. . .

LOVE

" According to Greek Mythology, humans were originally created with four arms, four legs & a head with two faces. Fearing their power, Zeus split them into two separate beings, condemning them to spend their lives in search of their other halves. "

Plato's The Symposium

Although somewhat of a morbid sentiment, the idea of spending a lifetime searching for your other half, the one that can make you whole, is a truly romantic notion. . .
