Q: does anyone know of a place were i can get cute sundresses from? offline would be great! thank you :)
i was just at the mall today, and i saw alot of sundresses at american eagle and forever 21! =] they might also have some at charlotte russe, etc.

Q: My family is far from rich. My mom and dad are both on social security. I only have one pair of jeans and it's emarrasing. I have to wear the same pair of jeans every other school day and everybody notices. I've had these pair of jeans for over a year now and they are so worn out. The insides of them are so holy. And they are so washed out. I have no money to go out to buy any jeans. I don't know what to do. Can anyone help?
first of all, people need to mind their own business. they sound really rude. i know people that wear the same pair of jeans alot in one week even if they aren't poor. some people buy more than one pair of the same jeans because they really like them. and alot of jeans look alike, so i dont know why these people are making such a big eal ab it. second, the "holey" or "washed out" look is in right now for jeans, so at least that's good. jeans can be expensive, so try going to bargain places to look for jeans. alot of jeans are anywhere from 40-300$ or more, but sometimes you can find them on sale for $20 (if you can afford that) at department stores like target, jcpennys, kohls, etc. also, you could look at walmart or good will or somethin.g i hope i helped

Q: What is your opinion on brown hair?Do you think it is ugly?
brown hair is nottt ugly at all. especially certain shades of it, it's really pretty. alot of people have brown hair, so if you have it you might be bored of it or think that you blend in with the crowd. but if you look closely at brown hair they all look a little different. i think its really pretty :]

Q: Does anybody know where they sell sweater boots? I'm lookign for brown specifically, but black will do too ?:)

Thanks♥
heyy.

a couple of my friends got some from American Eagle. im not sure if they have brown but i know they have a variety of colors. you could try the website - www.ae.com

Q: What is your opinion on black hair?do you think it ia boring and ugly?
it is not boring or ugly or goth, in my opinion, or anything negative like that. black hair looks really good on some people (as long as youre not too pale.) and i think its really pretty. it's also rare (alot of people have dark brown hair but not black) so that's also really pretty. if you have really tan skin, then its reallyy pretty! :] and its not boring because not many people have it.

Q: I have a question about what to wear with skirts. I am very new to this. I haven't worn a skirt by choice before. I was thinkin of wearing one to school for the first time, because my boyfriend has only seen me in pants since we have been dating haha (11 months) and i have decided to wear a skirt for him. My question now is what kind've shoes would you wear, like i find it weird to wear boots with a skirt or running shoes with a skirt, could ya help me out? Also any other advice for wearing skirts. Wow, im very embarassed... haha
there are different kidns of skirts, and different shoes look good with different lengths or styles of skirts. it also depends on your style. certain types of boots may look kinda hooker-ish with a mini-skirt. and only certain people can pull of the whole sneakers-and-skirt look. you could wear uggs, slip-ons, clogs, flipflops, sandals, heels, flats, etc.

Q: Kiss Me - Sixpence None the Richer
Go to myspace music. type in "Sixpence None the Richer" in the Search box. click search. different sites will come up, so click on the first one that says "Sixpence None the Richer". look at the music and next to "Kiss Me", there will be an "Add" button. click on that to add to your page.

Q: Okayy my best friend recently started to shop at hollister. So i thought i would get her stuff from there for christmas. But see im not really the "preppy" type so i wouldnt know what to pick out from there that would be cute and she would like. So what are some of the things you like. Pictures would be appreciated.
thankss.
well, it depends on your friends style and on your budget. just because someone is "preppy" doesn't mean they necesarrily like the same things as someone who is also "preppy". they have different styles of things at hollister. also, some of the things can be 40-60 dollars or more, however they do have some things that are 20-25$ or less. first of all, look at the type of clothes your best friend wears on a regular basis and get an idea of what her "style" is and what she likes. polos, cute tshirts, skirts, jeans, sweatshirts, sweaters - any of thsoe would be a safe bet. something cute would be if you got a cute cami or undershirt (they have really cute ones there with designs on them & stuff) and got her a sweater/ sweatshirt that matched it. goodluck!

if you have too much trouble, you can always get her a gift card there even though that is not as personal.

hope i helped[:

Q: what are these shoes called?
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b219/xfabulousx91/untitledfdd.jpg?t=1164489933
and where can i get them besides a steve madden store?
i don't exactly know what they're called, maybe clogs or something. however, i do have a pair like them and i got mine from Famous Footwear. i have a gray and black pair, but they had cream ones there, too. they sell a cheaper version at JCPenny or Kohl's, also.

Q: 14/f

Waaaaahhh! I am so fat. I am 5' 2" and 178 lbs. My stomach lingers down over the top of my pants and I have fat rolls along my sides. I want to know tips on how to disguise this without avtually losing weight. Are there girdles or something that will make me slim, beautiful, and stunning by next friday? I need to impress this guy. Bad. Help me. I am so fat!
you could try wearing clothes that are more flattering to your figure. nothing too tight. black is slimming. horizontal stripes make people look wider. i'm sure there are girdles or body suits or something out there but you might not want to do that. try wearing something that draws attention to things you like about yourself - maybe your hair or something - and draws it away from the things you dont like.

or, you could try starting to loose some weight. it will make you feel better about yourself and it'll be healthier, too. if you want help, drop one in my inbox.

Q: mmmk. so. im about 5'10-11 ish. in that area. i can never find cute pants that are decently priced that are long enough. most of my pants are from the buckle because they have xtra long pants.

i normally wear like 29,35 whatever that is. 29inch waist, 35 inch...legs. ahah but yeah so does any one know where to buy pants for me that arent that expensive?
well, some stores have sizes like 1,3,5 and up that come in short, regular and long. so you could try getting the long version, because they make the legs longer for taller people. hollister, american eagle, kohls, and other places have this. good luck.

Q: I need help on fashion. I usually wear baggy clothes and I dont know how to mix n match things. I like cutesy stuff but when I wear it, it seems weird.

Is there any websites with fashion pictures? So maybe I can try to copy that look. What are some stores that i should go to? urban outfitters?
Urban Outfitters is good. Hollister, Abercrombie & Fitch, and American Eagle are also cute if you're into that style. They have pictures on those websites (hollisterco.com, etc.) of people with outfits on. If you're on more of a budget, some department stores like Kohl's might have cute stuff, Aeropostale, Forever 21, Wet Seal, etc.

Q: what are some good stores to buy jeans from?

do you know any good brands too?
thx.
I don't know your style or where you live but some stores that sell them are: Hollister, American Eagle, Abercrombie & Fitch, 579, department stores, Kohl's (alot of people think that they have really good jeans there) Aeropostale, Jimmy'z, and a lot more.


Brands:
Angels
Paris Blues
Mudd
& stores like Hollister carry their own brand.

Q: i know this is really weird but are there any bras who can make your boobs look smaller?
sports bras push you down a little more, but if you have big boobs [which may be why you would want to make them look smaller] it might not give you enough support. find a bra that is NOT padded (alot of them are) and not a push up (they make you look bigger, too.)

Q: Hi,

I recently bought some clothes from the Hollister at my mall. I am a 17 year old boy and think the clothes are nice.

When I got home and showed my 13 year old brother the clothes I got (a polo and a sweatshirt) he started screaming at me and said that only posers and gays were Hollister.

I know quite a few people don't like Hollister and quite a few people do.

I am wondering what people think of boys who wear Hollister?
alot of people answered this question already, and i don't have time to read everything they wrote, so if i repeat something, i'm sorry.

well, it's up to you to wear what you want to wear and not let others influence you. but as far as what girls and other guys think, too much hollister is kindof gay. it's not hot when a guy has everything from hollister. yeah, a polo or a shirt here and there is okay but just make sure you're not overdoing it. =]

Q: I have big boobs and a small waist. So I have a problem with buying shirts. They either don't fit over my boob and the shirt ends up looking short. Or they do fit over my boobs but its all saggy and too big around my waist.

Does anyone know any stores or styles that could help me out here?
i don't know if other people said this because i don't feel like reading what they wrote haha sorry, but Abercrombie & Fitch , Hollister and American Eagle all have longer shirts. you're lucky because longer shirts is in style so you'll proabbly find some there. good luck

Q: i mostly shop at ae, but now im starting to like hollister. if im a small in shirts at american eagle, what will i be at hollister? like are the sizes different or the same? thanks a lot:]
AE sizes run bigger, so you might be an xs or just a small at hollister. you should try them on to see.

Q: im 13/f and i want to start wearing make-up to school. i have greenish hazel eyes and red hair. and glasses. anyone have any suggestions as to what kind of make-up i should wear?
not too much. eyeliner (black or brown), mascara (black), eye shadow (pearlish color, light pink, light brown, light green but make sure its not too bright, etc - there are lots of colors of eyeshadow but make sure they're not too bright or distracting or they'll look stupid), lip gloss, cover up/foundation if you think you need it.

Q: im looking for places that i can look for cheap bathing suits, ones that are $20 or less but still cute. if the place has a website i can look on thats even better. any ideas?
like the person below me said, target has some cute bathing suits. also aeropostale has some cheap ones & you can always look at the beach. check out some department stores as well. if you want really cheap ones, if you wait til the end of august you can buy them half price for next yearrr

Q: My school has a strict dresscode
-only collared shirts or sweaters
-only SOLLID color pants or skirts (No jean at all)

Does anyone have some good suggestions on what i can wear?
it's not that bad if you think about it! like the others said, hollister, abercrombie, american eagle, aero & probably lots of other stores have cute polos that you can wear. those same stores, as well as lots of others, have really cute sweaters for fall, too. it stinks that you can't wear jeans, but what about cords or khakis (for both pants & skirts). good luckkk! if you have any more questions, drop one in my inbox.
