As we say goodbye to 2012 and hello to 2013, we, like many of you, are making and breaking promises to ourselves.  Regardless of whether you’re struggling to cut carbs, save money or simply to take that Taylor Swift song off repeat on your electronic device (we concede that some of her tracks are catchy), we feel your pain.  And P.S. Weight Watchers, the barrage of commercials, while effective, is not helping our general disposition.  But before Jennifer Hudson has you calculating out how many calories is in a grain of rice, we’d like you to consider these flattering looks.  We promise they’ll make you feel so beautiful, you’ll forget all about the sins of 2012.

Our recommendations:

The forgiving cut and breezy fabric of this Tucker dress will keep you feeling thin and gorgeous whether or not you’ve got holiday pounds to shed.

Trying to save your sheckles in 2013?  This dress is priced to please but will make you look like a million bucks.

This scarf will add tough girl edge to any outfit. Goodbye Taylor S;  hello Karen O.

Here’s to a happy, healthful and stylish New Year!
