With the beginning of a new semester, a new year and a new start, my advice is to alter your wardrobe to reflect a fresh attitude.
Workout clothes: If your New Year’s resolution was to lose weight, get in shape or take up yoga, the best way to begin a workout regiment is to feel good about yourself from the get-go.
Many of your favorite places sell workout apparel, but my favorite for a great price is Old Navy.
Invest in a few pairs of women’s yoga capris ($16.50), for example.
They have a tight fit and are comfortable to run and workout in.
Pair those with a women’s active racer-back tank ($16.50), for an outfit that feels and looks great.
Check out their full collection at Oldnavy.com or at the Old Navy located in West Shore mall.
Bathing suits: It may not seem like it yet, but pretty soon you’re going to be needing those swimsuits again.
Victoria’s Secret is ahead of the game with their Swim ‘10 catalog.
They now have a big selection of awesome swimsuits that suit any style of body.
My favorites are the sexy coverage swim separates.
They are figure-flattering and come in a variety of colors.
If you have more of a rock-star attitude, try the gold ring bikini in leopard print.
If you are more subdued, check out the heart bandeau bikini or the butterfly one-shoulder bikini.
Whatever your attitude or appeal, Victoria’s Secret has a swimsuit for you.
All are available at Victoriassecret.com. When you feel good about yourself, your motivation increases.
Don’t go to class in dumpy clothes like you’ve just rolled out of bed.
We live in a beautiful place with awesome weather, so take advantage of that: restock your sundresses and flip-flops, check out your favorite stores’ new spring collections.
If you still want to wear sweatpants, opt for ones from the Pink collection at Victoria’s Secret or a cute Juicy pair.
You can be comfortable and still look presentable.
This is the semester to feel your best and do your best.
Making small changes to your wardrobe can help remind you to feel good about yourself everyday.
