After lazy days of napping on the sofa, indulging in panettone and merrymaking, promising ourselves that we’ll get up at dawn every day to meditate, squeeze in a run during our lunch break, reply to our emails right away and banish chocolate from the pantry gives us a boost. We manage at first, but after the initial setbacks, we comfort ourselves with convincing excuses. And only when we come off the rails completely do we throw in the towel, feeling a mix of disappointment and relief, because let's be honest, even Wonder Woman couldn't keep up with such a hectic TO-DO list.

Morning meditation or a jog in the park invigorates both body and mind, just like stepping out the door feeling confident in what we're wearing. So why not make the most of these winter evenings to devote some time to our wardrobe and, in turn, to ourselves?

Good fashion resolutions are more likely to succeed if we truly listen to ourselves.

1 -  Let go. Your wardrobe tells the story of who you are, but does it make sense to hold on to pieces that belong to your past? Give them to friends, sell them online, or donate them to those in need. By doing so, you'll create both physical and mental space for a fresh new image of yourself. For instance wearing a double-breasted Cady blazer jacket you have never owned before.

2 - Only buy what makes you happy. If you're honest with yourself, you can tell when shopping is a true joy and when it's more about compensating for something or indulging in a whim. A pair of jeans that fits me like a glove, in my case, is a reason for jubilation and happiness.
