Style icon

For about as long as I can remember, Jennifer Aniston has been THE ONE for me. Her basic yet glamorous style has been attainable. While I may not be able to afford the same brands that she can I can definitely get the same vibe. 

This afternoon, I snuck away and ran to TJ Maxx. I wanted to look at home things and found myself inexplicable drawn to the clothes. what can I say? I finally feel comfortable in my skin for the most part and shopping for clothes is fun. For the first time in my life. 

Anyway, I stumbled upon a dress and it's not exactly my style but I decided to try it on anyway. Boy, am I glad that I did. 

It's a mix between Jen and Sarah Jessica Parker. Plain + glam. Mom + Christia. It was perfection. 

So who is your style icon? The one you wait to see at awards shows, press junkets or premiers?  

New Year-New Me-New Goals

Resolutions-scmezolutions. For me they don't work. By like January 15 I've fallen off the wagon and feel worse then ever. Instead I do goals. They're not finite but open ended. They're positive and encouraging. 

I busted out my 2015 erin Condren life planner and got to work. 

I have a couple of important words and phrases for the year. 

First- sunshine. ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

The sun is warm, it is light, and happy. It's literally the bright side. I want to be as the sun. Warm, exuberant, me. 

Next, live simply. We are moving. It's not fun to move but it's even less fun when you have four kids, and are a recovering hoarder. (Seriously someone save me). I want to pare down to the basics. I could never be a true minimalist but I want to try. 

Goal #2- get fit and be healthy. That one is pretty self explanatory. 

#3- complete a w30. 

#4- live simply. Don't fill our lives with stuff

#5- pay off debt and don't use credit

#6- make florida our home. 

#7- learn something new. A skill, craft or hobby. 

#8-read at least one book a month by a person of color.

#9- use the library. It's such a great resource that's available. I need to use it. 

#10- be present. 

#11- run (another) half marathon

#12- be authentic. Fake is boring. 

#13- no new clothes. Gasp. This one will be hard but seriously I have a lot. Lol

#14- just the basics at sephora. No makeup/month. No allowance. Just what I absolutely need to survive. 

So there you have it. My goals for 205. Do you have any? Want to share?
