What Are Your New Year's Resolutions?

So another year is done and dusted. Time to reflect, mull over the sartorial lessons we've learned, and put our best killer heel forward for the year ahead.

Here are some New Year's resolution ideas to help make the next twelve months fashionable and fabulous.

Needless to say, here at Lounge by Zalando we love a bargain, but you don't want to overdo those impulse purchases. Impose some order on your buying - rather than snapping up whatever grabs your eye, make sure you have all the basics you need and you're covered for a variety of occasions.

That means, a selection of key classics that will last the course and that reflect the different aspects of who you are - garments that make you feel confident, relaxed, fresh and current. With a clear plan in mind, you'll find it all the easier to recognize a true bargain when it comes along.

Take an afternoon - OK, maybe pencil in an entire weekend - to have a ruthless cull of your wardrobe. Out with any clothes that made you feel depressed or frumpy. Give the stars of your collection some room to breathe, and while you're about it, why not invest in a shoe cabinet so that your designer pumps are no longer getting crushed under piles of cheap wedges?

A few Martha Stewart style ideas such as shelf dividers, luxury wooden hangers and herbal fresheners can transform a humble closet into an inspirational shrine to Fashion.

We all have our own unique looks, and chances are some trends will suit you better than others. By all means keep an eye on the fashion press to find out what's in this season, but don't feel obliged to jump on the bandwagon. Whether it's cropped pants, bohemian gowns or giant florals, pick and choose the trends you buy into it with an eye to what works for you.

Be a trendsetter - if you think something looks cool or you happen upon a new label that speaks to you, go for it.

If you're passionate about what you're wearing, you'll sway others to your way of thinking. And our last and most important New Year's resolution - stop by at Lounge by Zalando for all your fashion essentials, and you won't put a killer heel wrong in the months ahead.
