Did you make any resolutions? I never really jumped on board before, but this year I have made some small resolutions that are mostly just extensions of changes I&#8217;ve been making gradually over the past two years: exercise one more day a week, drink less beer (I was in the habit of one a day, which for me is probably too much), and do more for others, especially the friends I hold so near and dear to my heart. I probably don&#8217;t let them know often enough just how much they mean to me. So there, two for my health, one for others, and the last is silly, but still a resolution: to be a little more adventurous with my wardrobe!<\/p>\n<p>This year, I have resolved to add a bit more interest to my mostly neutral wardrobe, which doesn&#8217;t mean anything that crazy or wild, but maybe a few more patterns or colors are due? So for my first Dress That Mama post of 2015, I wanted to go just the slightest bit outside my comfort zone with leopard-print heels and boyfriend jeans. I have been wearing skinny jeans for so long now I forgot just how comfortable soft, relaxed-fit jeans are. They feel like pajama pants! And the heels are so much fun, I think! I got pretty lucky this Christmas.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"DSC_0030\" href=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7544\/15990315108_e65108ff4e_s.jpg\" rel=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"DSC_0030\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7544\/15990315108_e65108ff4e_b.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0030\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"DSC_0025\" href=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8664\/16176991232_420240f244_s.jpg\" rel=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"DSC_0025\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8664\/16176991232_420240f244_b.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0025\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>P.s. \u2014 Thank you for for your (long ago) recommendation of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Goldfinch-Pulitzer-Fiction-National-Finalists\/dp\/0316055433\/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1420231946&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=the+goldfinch\" target=\"_blank\"><em>The Goldfinch<\/em><\/a>.
