My friends at ModCloth asked me to pick a style resolution for the new year. I had to think about it a little, but I decided that my resolution would be to wear more separates. I wear dresses with cardigans most days, but I love outfits with layered separates like tops, skirts, pants, jeans etc. So I'm going to try to work a little more of that into my wardrobe. They sent me this cute top to work into an outfit post. I love the row of bows! What's your style resolution? xo. elsie




Love that shirt!! My resolution would probably be to take more risks with my daily outfits and have more fun (regardless of what others may think).
Love,
Stephanie May*

Wow! This is my favorite outfit I've ever seen on you, you look outstanding! Not that I don't love your dresses - but this is a very fun new spin!!

I saw that shirt just yesterday and was so in love with it. It looks perfect on you. I wear a lot of dresses and cardi's too, it's so easy and put together.

Too cute! I have to agree with Stephanie May, take more risks! I play it safe most times, because I know that works. But, I'd like to dress a little more fun! Here we go, 2012!

This top is adorable. I love the bows :] My style resolution is to take risks with with more color and patterns. I play it safe too often with black and grays - sorta dull.

I'm right with you there! Separates intimidate me, truth be told - just like neutrals. I haven't conquered blouses yet, but I am making an effort to wear my clothes in more different ways - so I've been doing a lot of skirts over dresses. That way, I get the look of separates, but the security-blanket comfort of knowing I'm actually wearing a dress. ;)

Oh my gosh that bow top is adorable Elsie! Such a cute pick. I definitely need to mix it up with separates more, I pretty much live in dresses and cardigans and while it's my favourite, I could be a bit more creative every now and then! ;) xxx

I love how "row of bows" sound...
my style resolution is to be more adventurous when it comes to dressing up and not think about what people will think when they see me on the streets.. the more eyes on me... the better!

Digging the bows. I love bows but they just don't work for me :) I certainly appreciate when other people wear them.

That's a great resolution. Hmm... I have to think about mine. Mine has to be to add more bold color to my wardrobe.

that's funny because my style resolution is to wear more dresses like you! (and less jeans)

My style resolution is to try to look more put together. I get in baggy moods where I slump into whatever to go to my day job. I also am trying not to dye my hair bright colors...it was killing my hair! I love your resolution...so cute! Hearts, Janna Lynn

Really cute outfit. I always like black jeans and yours look great on you! My resolution is to just get dressed more often in things other than track pants and sweaters. Working from home there is little motivation to put an outfit together but I love clothes and want to just wear more of my stuff. It's worse in the winter when you can just throw a coat over your shlumpy-wear. I like how you always seem to have such a nice outfit on, be it a cute dress or separates!
