Resolution Step #18 - Dress Better!

Embrace your new outlook for 2009 (and boost your self-confidence) by dressing better. Brighter colors, interesting accents and updated style can help lift your mood and increase your energy. Take the "Clutter Control" ideas and run with them by removing old clothes (both work and workout) from the closet and dresser. Give away suitable items, use others for rags or other household uses. See what is left in the closet and drawers, and make a list of pieces you could use to jazz things up. Maybe a new belt or hat? A pair of pants in a color other than black? Many larger stores like Nordstrom and Lord & Taylor offer personal shoppers that can pick things you normally would not choose that look great on you. Or, go shopping with that one friend that has an amazing eye for style.
