For the first few days, everyone approaches their resolutions with gusto and eagerness, but before long, real life resumes post-holidays and those good intentions fade into 'maybe next years'. 2012, however, is going to be a BIG, huge, lifechanging year for me.<br />1) I'm moving out of my parents' house<br />2) I'm starting a new educational path<br />3) I will be going to school with future designers in Toronto<br /><br />These things all lead me to think that something has got to change in order to accommodate all of these grown up changes. My resolution: Look the part.<br /><br />Something you should all know about me, I LOVE sweatpants, more than I probably should. This is not to say that I wear them all of the time, but I am definitely one of those students who rolls out of bed, throws on some sweats and shows up in class looking lazy (I should note that I am NOT actually lazy at school, just averaged a 91% this semester eeee). As an undergrad at a predominantly 'farming' university and having to drive forty five minutes just to arrive on campus, however, I've felt somewhat entitled to take advantage of the sweat pant luxury while I still can.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFveNV0shjgglIYKdete4FUpke0X-dINX-uq745P9XInHNxtYQJ8CdfHVKtaOO6ecf5g7ZZvO1tOq4zkY_-E__eiyf1XMYbQC_jdqozU5MrqX7JVq4B6NkytBPrCsEwZBWwWMZRCLqiw/s1600/roots+sweats.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFveNV0shjgglIYKdete4FUpke0X-dINX-uq745P9XInHNxtYQJ8CdfHVKtaOO6ecf5g7ZZvO1tOq4zkY_-E__eiyf1XMYbQC_jdqozU5MrqX7JVq4B6NkytBPrCsEwZBWwWMZRCLqiw/s320/roots+sweats.jpg" width="187" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">By the way, If you happen to be in the market for an amazing pair of sweatpants, I pretty much live in my Roots Original Pocket Sweats in Salt and Pepper.

Especially considering I will be attending a SMALL school where everyone I run into may play a potential role in my future career. Gotta represent myself right. Besides, I've got a lot of nice clothes that don't get worn nearly enough.<br /><br />Thus, its time to start dressing more professionally, more often. Start putting my best foot forward to make those good first impressions, and look the part of a successful interior designer. It's never too early to start!<br />  <br /><br />What's YOUR resolution? I'd love to hear :)  <br /> <br /> <br />
