WIWW - Week 1 - 2013

Hi!

It is a cold and rainy day here! And since I love gray, here is a completely gray outfit.

Gray is one of my favorite colors. I think it all started when I started working as an engineer, in 2000, right out of the 90's and I wore a lot of black. But suddenly black was too much and I started looking for alternatives and I ended up reading somewhere that gray was a good color for my career. I can't remember where I read it, but it was some self-help exoteric type of book.

So, I started buying gray clothes.

And gray shoes.

And gray bags.

Maybe now, 13 years later, I should look for another color.

What do you think?

Happy 2013, New Year's resolutions and how to keep them

Hi,

It has been while! December was crazy with tons of travel on top of the holidays.

I went to Brazil for 10 days, with my husband and his grandmother. It was a lot of fun! It was exhausting too! #hateflyingeconomy And it is always good to be home.

The pretty sunrise from our place here in Austin!

 Here are my resolutions for the new year.

1. Run 2 half-marathons in under 2 hours
2. Start and finish one new garment every week - check out this blog every Friday to see the new garments each week!
3. Launch a profitable business - see the prototype here - I would love to hear your suggestions!

How to keep them? Well, I am hoping you will keep me honest. But check out this book to help change your habits and stick to your new goals.

Today I am linking up with the Monday Mingle, so go check out some more cool blogs! 

What are your New Year's Resolutions? What are your tips to keeping them?

Love,

Sam
