Post by Editor, Amy, from Confessions of a Fashion Editor

So, this week, unbeknown to most, is Personal Style Week! It's  week for fashion and style bloggers to thik about their own personal style, rather than the styles of 100 000 other people, who are higher up in the industry than them, and, to be honest, it's blooming awesome!

Basically, all you have to do is thin about who you are, what you wear, and what you'd like to wear, and then represent it visually...

So, this is me!

Admittedly, I don't own most of this stuff (because we don't have Forever21 in the UK (*sobs*) but if we did I swear my whole wardrobe would be from there!), but I own stuff similar to it, or I'd like to.

Link me your personal style weeks?

Inexplicbly, I have recently started reading College Fashion, and one of their posts yesterday really struck me - Fall 2009 Style Resolutions. This is what it said;

"Most of us are headed back to school this week or next, and of course, the smell of new beginnings is in the air – new classes, new friends, new… wardrobe!

Even though we’re nowhere near January and the start of 2010, back to school is a perfect time to make some new resolutions. All the new fall clothes are just starting to hit the stores and chances are that money from your summer job is burning a hole in your pocket, screaming that wonderful phrase, “Back to school shopping!”

Because it’s the start of a new school year (and a new you), I put together some style resolutions for fall to kick off a great semester for you and your wardrobe."

Now, I wasn't planning on becoming a 'new me' for the new school year, but I do agree that I should probably stop being such a shrinking violet when it coes to dressing... so I thought I'd give it a go...

Fall* '09 Style Resoultions
*Yep, that'd be "Autumn", right?

1. I will not spend every single day in jeans. And Saturdays in smart work trousers do not count.

I own a lot of skirts. But I never wear them, for reasons I have never been able to adequetly explain, I hardly ever wear them... so next time I go shopping, I will invest in some lovely new tights, in an array of colours, so that I can wear skirts instead.

2. I will stop caring what people thinkof how I dress.

I am a Fashion Editor, for God's sake. That is a lisence to dress differently.

3. I will not wear my hair in the same way every day.

It's just lazy.

4. I will invest in decent shampoos and conditioners, in order to tame said hair.

Sorry, did I say "hair"? I meant "frizz". (Post on good hair products for frizzy hair coming soon!)

5. I will not over-do the eyeliner.

That was fine, last year, to show that I'm not the same girl that I used to be. But, people know that now. And it's a look which doesn't work for me.

6. I will buy a decent autumn jacket.

Last autumn, whn it was too warm for coats, but too cold for muh less, I spent the whole time wearing a lovely, cosy hoodie. But it looked rubbish... and there are some very stylish, inexpensive autumn jackets out there... Must go shopping soon!

On which note;

7. I will not shop in a mega-rush.

I have a tendancy to go shopping at high speed, in the belief that I will waste time otherwise, but I only end up wasting money on things that are not really what I need. See: many t-shirts from H&M, jeans which are not that great a fit, and too many pair of sunglasses. Instead, I will dedicate a time-slot to shopping, and save my hard-earned cash for what  need.

So, I was wondering; what are your Style Resolutions? I'm asking readers here to post a link to their Style Resolutions; I'm wondering if we can make a seperate tab of readers' resolutions?
