There is no way I will stop drinking for January. A great glass of wine or champagne with dinner is one of life's true pleasures. As Dr Michael Apstein argues in his article on dry January (HERE):
My own version of Dry January pertains to shopping, and the good doctor's argument applies there as well: if you think you need a month off, you've either indulged too much or have a guilty conscience. That's pretty much the case for me when it comes to buying fashion.
It's a fact that I buy too many clothes and shoes, and I'd like to try and break the habit.
So my plan for January is that I buy nothing at all. I will post an outfit every day and no doubt I will have more than enough clothes to go around. I am a tiny bit worried about the end of the month when I will be in London for a week, because the shops there are ridiculously tempting. But I am going to be strong.
To make sure you don't miss any of my January outfits, enter your email above (thank you so much - I very much appreciate it) and follow me on Instagram, @fashionexpat, where I will be posting additional pictures not on the blog.

Some people believe that ‘giving your liver a rest’ by abstaining from alcohol for a month or so is beneficial. In fact, there’s no science to support this practice, nor does it make sense physiologically. The liver can metabolise a small and steady amount of alcohol without difficulty.
If you think you need to take a month off, you’re either drinking too much during the rest of the year or you have a guilty conscience.
