The gin in my freezer is so cold it’s almost syrupy. Glass and cocktail shaker are chilling in the fridge. And I made sure I still had some olives on hand for the martini I’ll be making after I hit “publish” on this post. This blog turned one year old last week — and I’m celebrating.

I feel good about what I’ve accomplished with Short Shrifted over the last year. I wrote 58 posts covering all sorts of topics: clothing stores and brands, custom tailoring, style advice, DIY alterations, fashion-industry news, sale alerts, interviews and helpful websites. A bunch of readers wrote to say that my advice was helpful and that felt good.

It’s been a technological and sartorial learning process for me. When I bought the domain name, I had absolutely no knowledge of blogging software, web design or html. But I’ve been able to tweak the design and add a few small bells and whistles. Best of all, I’ve followed some of my own research and advice and I feel like I’m slowly taking control of my wardrobe. I’ve gotten rid of a lot of clothes that never really fit right — and replaced them with things that really do fit properly.

Looking forward to the next year of Short Shrifted: some goals, a call to action, and then my martini.
