Dressing in heels
One of my New Year's Resolutions is to dress up a little more. For example, even just adding a pair of black heels to a regular outfit makes such a difference. Here, Susan Cernek looks so pretty. (And I love this Urban Outfitters pair.)
Are you making any New Year's Resolutions?

toooo many- i have a notebook full of "aspirations" happy new years!!
Just to shed another layer.
At least one a year.
Untill I'm light as air.
Uhmmm I have a lot!
Volunteering, take more walks outside in nature, reading more...
A few of mine included reading the classics, learning about french wines, sending more letters, and visiting galleries and museums more often. Happy New Year!
I totally agree that a pair of nice heel shoes can take an outfit from dull to fabulous. Ditto for jewelery.
Happy New Year!
Not going to let fear keep me from really pursuing my dreams. Happy New Year, Joanna!
Much love,
B
yes, nisrine -- and dressing up makes you feel just prettier and more confident, i think :)
Lovely camel sweater!

i love this look!! but i think i would be to nervous to try it myself... i have a minor case of fashion-induced anxiety... maybe i should try to conquer that this year! xoxo. happy new year joanna!
my heel collection has become quite large throughout the years but the thing is, i NEVER wear them. in fact, two weeks ago was the first time i've worn heels in almost a YEAR! shameful. i even had to do a quick walk up and down the hall to remind myself how to walk in them.
i was good to go.. until i had to wander the streets of cambridge for over an hour due to overbooked restaurants. i've never had brits look so strangely at a person before. *note to self* always carry a pair of flats as a backup plan.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Joanna, I am starting my list today..
eat healthier
make someone smile everyday
Take walk or ride my bike...
shoes & accessories is such a great way to look put together!

To stick to a fitness routine and also wear my new red heels more because they're so pretty! I feel like Dorothy from OZ. :)
Happy New Year's Eve Joanna. I'm off to get ready!
i do love that look.
i always set like 10 new years resolutions. i usually do most of them because i put them in a place i see them frequently...except for losing 10lbs or whatever. that has never happened.

i have a similar sartorial resolution: to wear more dresses. And red lipstick.
bex.
i am going to dress for french. and not just throw on leggings and a sweatshirt even to run to the market. because french women wouldn't be caught dead in workout clothes at the market!
What a cute outfit. Simple, but the heels just add that much more!
My New Year's resolution is to wear more dresses.
I'm adding heels to my list. I never wear them.
mine is similar joanna - to live up to the fabulously dressed italian women around me (think all of the girls on the sartorialist)! it won't be easy but it will definitely be fun to be fancy for a change!

One of mine last year was to dress up more too (wear heels, makeup, etc) and it worked. I don't like leaving the house without either now! I just posted my own list, which includes reading the classics, cooking a challenging recipe once a month, completing a half marathon and to stop blowing off the doctor!

WHOA, gf! Those heels are 4.5"!!! You're starting out big! haha, I can't wear heels well (Although I think they're beautiful), so I thought it funny that you want to start out with all that height! Go big or go home! xo
I just bought a pair of black heels last night and you've totally inspired me to wear it with more things (rather than a black dress.) But, I also love that you are a tee shirts and jeans kind of gal. There's something very New York about that.
You looks so nice! Maybe a little scarf will give you a stunning look.
Happy New Year!!
I think I'm going to take on the challenge you posted about as one of my new years resolutions, am going to try to not complain! I also want to let my hair down more often (literally...need to stop with the ponytails).
Happy New Year! XO

She looks so chic! What a great resolution. :)
I always say the same thing! I'm going to buy/wear clothes that make me feel fabulous without caring what others think! I'm a bulldozer when it comes to clearing out my apartment and throw/donate things left and right. It is time I get rid of some of those boring pieces!

YES! For one, giving up smoking. A bad habit I picked up when I was living in Barcelona, Spain. Main resolution or aspiration... get my blog started!
Love those black heels. They are the perfect dresser upper.
Resolutions:
1)Meat Free Monday
2)1 new restaurant per month
3)1 book per month
HNY!
i am in the same t-shirt and jeans boat. along with never wearing my hair down for fear of it getting ripped out by tiny hands.
i wore a low pair of heels the other day to help dress up my outfit and i was so awkward in them.
i forgot how to walk in heels!
so i think i will add that to my NYR list.
happy new year!
I want to develop a better sense of what's truly important in life. As a teacher, I find myself absorbed in other people's children that I tend to forget about making myself and my husband happy. Here's to more evenings with more cups of tea and knitting and the warm company of my lovely man. Cheers!
I've enjoyed reading your blog all year and just figured out how to "follow" :) New Year's Resolution: create a signature cocktail!
This look kinda reminds me of Sofia Coppola. Elegant and chic. I have the same resolution!

I like resolutions like this one, that aren't too huge. Truthfully, little things like this are the things that change lives, rather than wildly ambitious ones that are so exhausting that we give them up two weeks in. Today, I made affirmations to hang throughout my home, reminding me to believe in me! And I also enjoyed Glamour.com's "3 Healthy New Year's Resolutions You Can Actually Keep This Year!": Choose happiness, make exercise non-negotiable and stop sweating the small stuff. (http://www.glamour.com/health-fitness/blogs/vitamin-g/2010/12/3-healthy-new-years-resolution.html)
hi jo. am an avid reader but it's my first time to post a comment. i have an endless resolutions list.

Happy New Year, lovely!
What a great resolution! That's a tough one too as a mom. I see these European mommies chasing their kids around in designer heels that look so amazing and I always wonder how the heck they do it!
One of my New Years resolutions is to appreciate what I have more, also to try and become more of a morning person:)
love your blog!! <3 xoxo Follow me Via blogroll.. Add my blog in your list..i will add yours!!! kisses!

I love the idea of adding heels to everyday outfits. I think I will do that too. My resolution is to be happy in the moment. Trying to let go of seeing how I stack up compared to others.
it definitely does! my resolution is to cut down on the shopping, haha. happy new year to you :)

I think the dressing up can be a huge help.
It totally changes your attitude, the way you walk and how you present yourself...
I just wish that heels were more comfortable!
Someone needs to fix that!
i love this outfit & i pretty much have all the pieces in my closet but sadly, there are only about 2 months out of the year when i could actually wear it :(
oh the joys of living in Minnesota . . . half the year i have to dress like an eskimo.
Happy New Year Joanna! Here's to a 2011 filled with everything you could wish for! :)
laughing because I am sitting across from sc right now and just read this post to her! she doesn't look so different (ie, so very chic) even though we are on vacation sitting by the fire. wish I could say as much for myself! xx
do u know what kind of heels the model in the pic is wearing?
i like to make new year's goals! you can see mine here: i love your goals and explanations! check mine out here: http://katiebabanielson.blogspot.com/
I made a list of 6 things I want to do every day this year or atleast try to. Mine are here http://alwayschooseparis.blogspot.com/2010/12/bonjour-2011.html :)
Thanks for the high heel tip, every girl always wants to dress up a little more. I have really enjoyed reading your blog through out the past 6 months, keep up the fabulous work darling!

Definitely I want to try do dress a little more too and not get stuck in a rut. And take the extra few minutes to put on a little eye makeup before going out the door!
I just love simple resolutions like this! Nothing over the top, simple ways to make you feel great about yourself. I usually prefer to shake a few habits for the new year, but I like this quite a bit. More heels. Yes!

Heels and jeans are my fave :)
My NY resoltuion ? To be more selfish. For lots of reasons!
Happy New yr to you xx
Cool inspiration!
Resolution? the first is stop eating my nails...!
I didn't just make a New Years Resolution...I made a 30 before 30 list!! Eeeek! I've got exactly 6 months to finish it...Keep your fingers crossed for me! :)
That is a lovely idea. I want to do the same, but sometimes I feel like an amazon in heels, haha!
I'm on board with dressing up a little more, looking nicer, a bit more style-y in 2011. Loving the idea and looking forward to new shoes!
With your tee-shirt-&-jeans style, this outfit would be perfect!
My resolution is to pay more attention to my - for lack of a better word - spiritual side: yoga, volunteering, etc.
I need to learn how to dress with jeans for the New Year.
Dressing up is always a great resolution to have. Lots can make you happy, but a lot can be said of elevating your mood by enhancing your look. It immediately gives me a pick up, because then I have to carry myself taller, with more grace and poise. And, how can you be angry or sad when you wear a beautiful lip color and a great pair of shoes? You can't! (Unless life is absolutely shitty...)
Great resolution.
I heard of your blog through a couple of great bloggers, and I resolve to read more inspirational blogs instead of only fashion blogs, in 2011.
So far, so good.
:)

Funny. My four year old directed me (from under my covers) to wear heels today. With my 7am standard jeans & long sleeve black t-shirt. I paused because it actually didn't sound like a bad idea (although I NEVER wear heels) except that it was 32 degrees and I was simply on my way to drop two kids at school and walk the dog. But dressing up more does sound like a lovely resolution...
Love this outfit! I vow to do more yoga, drink less wine . . . :)
