Q: I'm really tired of just wearing jeans and a t-shirt to school. I want to start dressing nicer. But all the nice/cute clothes that I find are tank tops or spaghetti straps. And the problem with that is at my school all tops have to have a strap of 3 inches.
Does anyone know of any place that has nice/cute tops that aren't tank or spaghetti?
Thanks.
Even if you are only able to wear jeans and t-shirt, try dressing that up with a nice purse or some jewelery. Or an interesting brooch.

Moving on, there's some cute wrap shirts out there that are definitely dressier than a t-shirt. To make those tank tops wearable, wear a cropped jacket or sweater. Oooh, or one of those really short things that ties in front.

Get a spaghetti in one color and a button-up shirt in a color that goes with it (same color family, maybe) and wear then together, leaving the over shirt unbuttoned.

When it gets cold, there's a billion cute long sleeve shirts. :)

Stores to try: Kohl's, Ross, TJ Maxx, Rave, Forever 21, and any thrift stores around, like Goodwill (my god, I love shopping at Goodwill).

Just look for things that meet the requirements wherever you go shopping, and don't forget the magic of layering.

Thanks. I love goodwill too!

I'm 15 and I like answering questions. I try to be as competent, coherant, and helpful as possible. Everyone is welcome to ask me questions personally, as it it makes me feel special.

I LOOOVE cooking and drawing and other artistic type things. I also like altering photos and making avvies/icons in photoshop, so I will take any requests for those as well. (email or IM me).

Please rate my advice, and rate it fairly. If I deserve a 2, go ahead and give me one, you won't hurt my feelings.

Pet peeve: people who answer questions just to say "That sucks, I don't know. Sux 2 B u."(If you don't know, why are you answering?) and people who say "Hope I helped!" (Obviously, or you wouldn't have an advice column)

Haha, sorry.

I'm out.
