happy new year!

the first tip in successful goal-making is to write down your goals.

it adds an extra level of accountability and has the feel of a contract.

exclusively chic's fashion/blog resolutions

1. take formal classes to make better professional use of my camera.

2. donate a ratio of 1:1 - for every new garment i buy, i donate one from my closet.

3. incorporate more edginess into my wardrobe

4. blog more beauty/accessories on exclusively chic

5. invite more bloggers to collaborate, the philosophy being

"the more, the merrier"

shoot me an email if you'd like to collaborate!

6. blogging for pleasure over blogging for business. 

7. build a work wardrobe, because my closet is predominantly casual.
