With the change of every year, people make resolutions that they may or may not be able to keep: lose weight, eat healthy, call my grandmother more. While these ideas are great, I think that Penn State students should consider adopting a few fashion resolutions for 2009.

1) Stray from "the uniform." Don't be afraid to wear something other than Ugg boots and a North Face jacket. Put on something that shows your own personality a little better, not something that makes you look like a clone.

2) While we're on the topic of "the uniform..." give your legs a break from leggings and put on different pants once in a while. They are a cute look certain tops that give a little more coverage, but showing off everything with nothing more than a t-shirt is a look that needs to be left in 2008.

3) Invest in a scarf. They are not only functional, but cute, and they are the accessory to have, not only for winter but into the spring and summer as well.
