Louis Wise looks back on his New Year’s resolutions
The latest lifestyle, fashion and travel trends How did your resolutions go, then? Listen, Januaryâ??s over, we all know thatâ??s all in the past. Right now, you can find me burying the usual syllabus of short-lived self-improvement, taking in language-learning, weight loss, cookery, creativity and self-love, plus actually reading the magazines I subscribe to and actually cleaning the tops of my shelves. The one new resolution Iâ??ve stuck to somehow: Iâ??ve dodged the sales. Every year, hitting the winter bargains has been the start of my annual reinvention. Without fail, my signature move has been to buy something totally unrealistic and bizarre, on the basis that its reduction down to آ£40 will unlock a daring whole new me. A chunky jumper with a â??keyhole neckâ??? Sure. A meshy olive sweater that stretched so much, after one wash, it basically became a mini-dress? Yes please! A pair of high-waisted houndstooth trousers? To be fair, it was 2004 and The Hives were a thing. These items all pile up in my wardrobe, a gallery so misshapen and weird I canâ??t face publicising them on eBay. Last year, though, something snapped. Last year, I bought the bag. </p> New Yearâ??s resolutions: 5 expert tips to keep your 2020 goals It was sold online as an â??oversized toteâ??, which I guess was one warning. It was a collaboration between two brands, which was another â?? neither one willing to take the blame. When it arrived, I saw why: it was the size of those large chequered laundry bags you buy when youâ??re moving house. It wasnâ??t a tote, it was an abyss. Still, I gamely lugged it around for a day, telling myself how Iâ??d use it. It would be the ideal bag to take on a plane whenever I travelled in business (I never travel in business). It could also be a cool weekend bag (assuming said weekend required five blankets, a foot-spa and an easel). No one looked convinced; when I checked it in at a restaurant cloakroom, the attendant looked at me with pity. It stared at me angrily that night at the bottom of my bed. The next day, I sent it back. This time, then, no sales. No desperate rummaging in the bins for an interesting new moi. Iâ??ve finally sussed that a better, more feasible me might just be found on the normal racks. Donâ??t worry, though: Iâ??m sure that next year Iâ??ll return to all my other resolutions; if nothing else, the sheer delusion cheers me up. Although the line Iâ??ll always draw at is Dry Jan. For me, Dry Jan is only feasible as a drag name.
