New Year's resolutions. We make them every year. They usually consist of things like saving money, losing weight, exercise, and cleaning out the garage. Well, I have 2 this year.
1. No murmuring.
2. Get dressed at least 4 days a week. (not including Sunday-because you just can't go to church in your pajamas)
The murmuring isn't going too great. But I am trying. It kind of goes a long with being nicer to my husband. That was going really well until last night when he wouldn't turn off the TV and I was trying to sleep. O well. Today is going much better.
But really it's all about getting dressed. I don't have a real job. I don't have to look stylish to play with Baby Kelly or fold laundry or wash dishes. And because of that, it's really easy to fall into the "sweats" rut or even the "These aren't pajamas; they are lounge wear." rut.
So I decided that I would force (and I mean force) myself to get dressed almost every day.
This was Monday. The first day. 
Tuesday.
Thursday. You can see the novelty is starting to wear off.
By Friday it was all getting old. And it was a lot colder. I really need a lime green sweater.
You may be wondering why there are no bags pictured with these stylish outfits. I have lots of cute, stylish handbags, but this is what Rich gave me for Christmas so it just has to go with everything.
There's another reason I wanted to post pictures of outfits. On Pinterest (You know what Pinterest is don't you? If not check it out here.) they have a whole category devoted to fashion and it's loaded with really cute skinny outfits. If you want to see Plus Size fashions you have to "search" for them. Well I just think that's completely wrong. Why can't the Plus Size outfits mix in with the skinny ones? Are Plus Size outfits not considered fashion? Anyway, I just wanted to show that round girls wear clothes too.
Please note that all the jewelry shown was made by my very sweet and talented daughter, Kelly. And both scarves were crocheted by... me.
So for a whole 5 days I got dressed. And I kinda liked it. But it involved a lot of ironing and created a huge pile of laundry.
This week? I don't even remember Monday. Yesterday I wore sweats because I walked in the morning and then never got a chance to change. Today I have on an old ratty peasant skirt and a t-shirt. Maybe tomorrow it'll go better.
Don't ya LOVE New Year's resolutions?

This is why I don't make them.
You need to wear your outfit at least twice. If you don't go anywhere it doesn't get dirty. You don't have to iron it a second time. And most importantly you don't have to figure out what to west.
This is all coming from a woman who is curenrky wearing 3 day old jeans a white tee shirt and socks that most certainly do not match. My hair is in a bun and I wear no jewelry. I at least took a shower and brushed my teeth.
So there you have it. You are doing a great job!
I love your outfits! You should do this for every season. You are a very stylish mom, gramma, woman, person!
@kashurst- you should really check your spelling sis!
