shop your closet
It's the start of a new year and maybe you've set a few resolutions to make your life easier and more fulfilled. In addition to career and personal goals, why not have some fashion goals as well? It's pretty tough to get dressed when your closet is a mess and the top of 2013 is the perfect time to declutter and revamp your closet.

sequin dress
Once holiday shopping is done, the next hurdle is what to wear for New Year's Eve. Whether you're hitting the town with friends or having a get together indoors, you want to ring in 2013 looking your flyest. But of course you're not trying to spend a ton of cash on an outfit and you don't have to.
A dress is the easiest way to go as it's just one piece to slide in to versus coordinating a top and bottom. Though you'll inevitably take a ton of pictures in your beautiful dress on NYE, don't feel the need to ditch your frock after the clock strikes midnight.
Continue to get tons of wear out of it by dressing it down with the one item every woman has {or should have!} in her closet: a black blazer. Or layer a fitted long sleeve shirt over the dress and belt it to give it a new look.
Check out the gallery below for a dozen New Year's Eve dresses for all sizes. They range from glittery sequins to figure flattering wraps and they're all less than $100.

ready, set, thrift

Almost two weeks ago I hosted a fun, energetic event with Goodwill called Ready, Set, Thrift!. I came up with four challenges for thrifters to compete in and the prizes ranged from free clothes to a $50 gift card. It was my first event with the thrift store and we had an awesome turn out. The shoppers were excited and I loved seeing them scurry around the store to complete their missions.
Thanks again to everyone who came out, but if you missed it, check out the recap.

We had four challenges throughout the night and when I gave the shoppers the go-ahead, they opened their piece of paper to see what mission they had to accomplish.
