Hello, January! So many people despise you, but I welcome you this year. A new January means another fashion challenge. Every month I participate in daily fashion theme challenges – connect with me on Instagram and Facebook to join in whenever you can.

Here are the themes and my looks from this month so far (with a bonus NYE look thrown in there for fun).

• A new you, a different hue: I never wear blue, so I chose a blue printed blouse with sparkly jewelry from World Market.
• Blue my mind: little did I know that the next theme would be blue!
• Are you my plaid?
• Vest friend
• Absolutely argyle: okay, I don’t own argyle, but do the diamond pattern on my tights count?
• Leopard spots or polkadots
• Natural neutrals
