Ugh...okay I HATE my clothes. I went through this whole phase recently of "I care what everyone else thinks and my opinion doesnt matter". And that includes clothes. I wear the same old crappy polo tees from hollister and stupid jeans and stupid shoes. I just look like every other boring un-unique "prep". Well, i've finally grown out of this. I now want to start dressing like my personality which is edgy, unique, and artsy. I like rock/emo/indie music if it helps? I'm looking for some fashion tips (example...stuff like wearing your belt to the side, etc.) And some stores online I could check out to help me dress more "edgy". Also, i dont have alot of money. How can i rock out a plain polo? Any hair ideas? Makeup ideas? I hate dressing "preppy" when inside im not like that. THANKS!

might sound a bit avril, but i love how ties look as belts. i think it's VERY edgy, and definetely unique. as for rocking out polos, brooches are in, simply bunch up a corner of the shirt near the waist, and pin it with a brooch. they come in so many styles and colors, and are fairly cheap.also,considering the polos, you can decide if cutting them up is an option for you, but cut off the collar of one, and then cut the neckline at an angle, so it drapes off one shoulder. pair it with a cute and bold looking tank.(walmart!)ive taken old jeans that it a LITTLE snug, and cut the seams in the crotch, and folded it over, sewed it,and washed it. the product is beautiful and defintely edgy, the more you wash it so it frays. try it on a pair of jeans that dont fit you at all, just for practice, to see how well it turns out. depending on your hair length, a good style can be created by wetting your hair, towel drying it just a tad. then, cover your hands in gel, and scrunch your hair all over. its pretty hard to explain, but make a fist with sections of hair in your hand. do this all over till your hair starts to look wavy. then use mousse and continue to do the same. blow dry it, not completely dry- but just enough to set the waves. then hairspray(the more the better) all over, and scrunch some more. this style is great for just about anywhere. another simple style can be made by buying a waver.they sell them for real cheap at value city, dollar general, and walmart)it looks like a straightener, but has waved plates. (NOT a crimper- looks too 80's)and wave tiny sections of hair over straightened hair. just a few pieces here and there- too much volume can be made by thuis style if you wave too much hair, and youll look like a clown.as for makeup, liquid eyeliner is just about the edgiest thing in the makeup world. paired with lots of black mascara, you really cannot go wrong. really hope i helped you. good luck with your new looks.
