Shop Your Closet: Shawl-Collar Sweater
If you made a New Year’s Resolution to wear sweatpants less, it’s time to start finding alternatives that are just as easy to wear and comfortable. Not possible, you say? Well listen up, woman!

Not only do I know I will not keep them, but I also know that anything important enough to give up on December 31st should probably be given up on any other day.

2010 is here. What do you hope to achieve this year? What intentions will you set? For many of us, we resolve to change our health- to lose weight, to quit smoking, to eat healthy, to cut back on booze, to join a gym. We get motivated. We make positive steps forward after the indulgences of the holidays. And then – bam! – a few weeks later, it’s all over and we feel crappier than ever.
