Hey everyone! My name is Kristen, I'm 20 and I'm a college junior studying pharmacy. I've been blessed with a really good life, and part of the reason for that is because I've learned to see GOOD in everything that happens to me. I love giving advice, and I've been told that I do a good job at it, but I'll let you decide! Feel free to ask me anything... don't be shy, that's why I'm here. I've been through a lot... moving from one country to another, leaving and finding new friends, break ups, boys, middle school, high school, college, self esteem issues... pretty much most things that people need help with.
I usually spend a good amount of time answering your questions, so I would really appreciate it if you leave me an honest rating along with some feedback (good or bad!) It really does help me improve my advice... and in the end, that's good for YOU! Talk to ya soon! :)
advice
Well this year for school shopping my mom is only giving me and my sister $100 each (yeah i know it sucks but lucky we are the same size, but not twins 4 years apart if that matters)
I am a very preppy hollister and Ambercrombie wearer but obviously i don't have money to spend on that stuff (I know hollisters clearance can be really cheap but i feel like i own that store already because i spend tons of money there and the only stuff i don't have it the real new stuff which obviously i can't afford with just the money my mom is giving me)
So i am looking to get atleast 3 outfits out of this money my mom is giving me and i need some ideas. my main goal is to have a good fit because stores like kohls dont always have the best fit and i have an issue with highrise jeans because i am only 5'1".
also i want to buy it in the store so they have to have a store that is very close to Pittsburgh pa. (if you are searching a location online i live closest to south hills village)
If you can please send me cheap outfits here(pictures from the stores website) that would be appriciated and the more you can come up with the better. I am mainly looking for shirts and pants not really jeans.and maybe cheap accesories
I am 5'1" about 110 pounds with brown hair and green/brown eyes with tan skin of that helps.
The more pictures the better! I also wear a juniors small to med but can pull off a large depending on the style and i wear anywhere from a 3 to a 7 in pants depending on the style.
Thank you!
hey!
whoa weird you live like right next to me! i was just at south hills village like 10 minutes ago!
lol ok anyway, i'm not going to give you pictures of all the outfits you could make because there are just sooo many... but i will suggest some stores to you! you should have absolutely NO problems finding 3 outfits, if not more, for 100 dollars! i do it all the time!
alright, i suggest going to century 3 mall, or robinson. they are 5 to 10 miles away from the village, but they have a lot more stores. check out stores like 579, body central, wet seal, charlotte russe and rainbow. they have a TON of things for really cheap, and they all fit great for someone your size!
also, why stick to the mall? check out stores like TJ Maxx and Marshalls... they have a lot of designer clothing for really cheap!
finally, you might want to go to Gabriel Brothers (gabes for short)... it's a 2 minute drive from century three mall, and it is SO cheap. most of the things there come from very well known stores (A&F, hollister, delias, arden b...), and they are cheap because they might have a small factory defect (most of the time it's not visible) or they are "last season"... basically the stores need to make room for their new stuff, and whatever they don't sell goes to a store like gabes. sometimes i go there and find nothing, and other times i get a ton of things. it just depends on the day you go... yeah, you have to look through a lot of things and then inspect everything to make sure it's not ripped/stained, but it's soo worth it! and NO, none of their stuff is second hand... it's never been worn by other people.
well i hope all that helped. let me know if you need more help! and try to go shopping a few times before summer ends, and just buy things over the next few weeks... don't wait until last minute! that way you will be able to look around everywhere and get really good deals! :) good luck and have fun!
(Rating: 5) Thanks! i love gabes...although my mom doesn't like me shopping there.. along with TJ maxx she hates that place but i might talk in to going. i think we are going to robinson because i work at shv so i dont like to shop there much. but my mom doesnt like century 3 she used to work there and thinks its the "ghetto"
