Now that 2012 is behind us, it’s time to set new goals and shake things up a bit!

The collection is an especially adorable, swoon-worthy throwback to the ’40s. Here’s a preview:

For accessories, Bottega Veneta incorporates chunky black bracelets for some funk and a belt to cinch the waist and for extra flair.

Buy more timeless pieces? Have a better way of organizing your wardrobe? Wearing more patterns and colors?
