oh god. honey i definitely feel your pain! i went to a school exactly like this one for three years, but sadly, i tended to break the rules lol. i highly suggest that you DO NOT follow my lead. please stick to the rules, because they will enforce them.

OKAY, now for my advice...
you kinda have to figure out your style before you get into this, but I'll give you some suggestions. bright colors are a way to stand out, this type of dress code usually doesn't allow for obscene pictures on the front, so stick to bright patterns or designs that you like. I also think button down shirts are very chic and a lot sexy... if done right! you can get some in different colors, but for school, make sure you buy tank tops so you can layer underneath so you don't look TOO sexy.
Ugh. the belt thing. it sucks i know, but this is an opportunity for you to buy really cool and unusual belts that can be conversation starters as well.
i'm sure it gets a little chilly in school, so go ahead and buy some cute jackets and hoodies to layer over your shirt of choice.
accessories: this is a dream come true! there are no limitations baby! buy whatever suits your fancy and don't be afraid to pile it on: big chunky bracelets, or a bunch of slim ones, a huge bold watch, fun rings, earrings, headbands and there is sooooo much more! accessories should be your best friend girl!


Bottom Line:
i know you see this dress code as a restriction, but your just gonna have to think outside the box!
and again, accessorize, accessorize, accessorize!!!

summer is the greatest for all tomboys everywhere.
one thing to invest in is frayed denim shorts. they're cute, but not too cute and give you a lot of freedom at the same time. next i would pair those with cute tees and sneakers. this is probably the ultimate tomboy look, however to make it more interesting, i would experiment with different tops, try long sleeve plaid shirts or basic tank tops, wear flip flops or sneakers, either one looks good. :)
bottom line: make sure you get the shorts lol! and don't forget to brush your hair!

wow. i hope you dont live in my state...but you shouldn't pay to get it done. not only will it be a waste of money and time, but it might not even turn out right.
try this:

bottom line: do it yourself and have fun!
:}

so basically, you want to improve your appearance without it interferring with your obssesive computer schedule? okay.;]
you could prolly tone your butt while still on the computer. for instance,try taking away the computer chair and squatting while typing (that is if your good at multitasking...)that really tones your thighs and rear.
now for your hair, i would recommend a deep conditioner so it will be nice and soft. brush it alot so as to distibute the natural oils throughout your hair.
and lastly, for your face. wash it every day and try to keep your hands away from your face as much as possible!!! do not go to sleep with makeup on either! this also causes major breakouts!
and i think lacy panties are cute and sexy! you dont have to show it to anybody! they're so much fun like your own little secret...but that's my opinion [;

hahahaha! it looks very cute to me, your sis will prolly want to borrow it in a few years! but the way you said you'll wear sounds pretty cute!

hmmmm...
okaaaaaaaaay. so your not into style, but you want to get stylish because people are teasing you??? thats not the best motivation, but okay...
this season things are going in the preppy direction so you might wanna visit stores like old navy and definetly american eagle. those are the cheapet place i can think of...you might want to try target too because they have cute shoes and their clothes are always amazing. go to the mall and visit stores when they have sales.
but really you dont have to do what everyone else is doing. you should wear what suits your style and feel confident because your wearing something you love and look amazing in.
kids tend to tease those who stand out because they are insecure andwant to make them feel as crappy as they do.
so bottom line: they're most likely not creative enough to have their own sense of style so don't feel bad because you do!
mwah! and good luck!

i think it is your choice when to start wearing makeup. just becuase you use alittle mascara does not mean you've suddenly become a 'prep' or anything, and it certaintly does not change who you are...it just inhances it.
so bottom line: yeah i think you should man up! you should rule this new look with confidence and pride because you know you look good! so walk into that school and work it baby!

this year preppy styles are so in! everyone is going for that collegiate/gossip girl look.
from argyle socks and sweaters to plaid pencil skirts it's all in! dont forget to accesorize though! this season everyone is wearing colored tights that you can get just about anywhere!!!
mens-inspired clothing is also very hot right now.
blazers that highly resemble those you wear as a prep school uniform are everywhere. you can wear these over a dress or your favourite pair of jeans. speaking of which, skinny jeans are definetley in too! go for the dark rinse this fall. wide legged pants are in at the same time!
here is a site with pics and has info on where to buy stuff:

now for makeup...
makeup for school is never showy if you ask me. at least it shouldn't be...
here is a link to a tutorial that should help with your makeup look:

remember less is more!!!
have fun this year!

dresses for school are fine! you can tone it down with leggins and your favourite pair of flats! or layer it up and throw a blazer over it.

now for the heels...
NO. heels are too dressy for skool! you need to get from class to class and heels will just look silly and impractical.
good luck!

omg! your my hero, girl!!!
i think that is a hott idea.
you should give fashion tips, take pics of some great fashion you see on the street (with people's permission of course...),talk about what's in and what's out. interviewing people is a great idea! outfit of the day sounds cool...but include other people's outfits not just yours...you could have a designer of the month or whatever! this sounds really cool and i wish you good luck! do not forget to tell me when it's up and running!!!
for real!

well pretty much anything can go with that scarf...try it with bright colored tops or if you want to get matchy then a black or white top. this can dress down a dressier outfit or just have a laid back look. do whatever you want with it, i'm sure it'll look fine.

uh yeAH!
i'm definetly getting one this year! they are so much better than a regular bookbag and oh so stylish! i recommend finding a really crazy one or maybe in your favourite colour!

FLATS.
these are everywhere and i happen to think they are pretty comfy enough for walking around from class to class. thre are so many styles to choose from i'm sure you'll find ones that you'll luvve.
SANDALS.
gladiator sandals come in different styles and colors. they range all the way from super dramatic to very simple. i prefer the simpler kind myself...
SNEAKERS.
okay i am not talking running shoes (which by the way are meant for running and only running...)that you've had for a million years and the only color that is visible is gray...when they used to be pink...no.
i'm talking cute sneakers like chucks, jordans(

no.
at your age you probably are comparing yourself to others and everytime someone does that they find that they aren't "perfect".
just because you have a big nose does not mean your ugly! yeah boys are so very stupid at this age and you should definetly not listen to them. besides if you get a nose job and go back to school, you will probably be teased even more beause they will know they got to you. in 10 years you probably wont even know them so who cares what they say! tell them to go to hell! trust me in a few years you'll accept the fact that your nose is big and fabulous! trust me on this, i have like the hugest lips and ppl rip on me for it, but i dont care b/c i work it and i make it look good!
so mwah!
and do not let dumb ppl like that get to you
ciao.

okay. this is embarassing,but when i was younger, my mom decided she would cut my hair because it was looking "unhealthy" well i put it off for as long as i could but it eventually happened anyways. when she was done i looked in the mirror and my hair was three different lentghs!!! the top was the longest, the middle was the shortest and the bottom was in between! i had to go to school like that! it was horrible, but it grew out. they always do!
good luck with yours and i bet it does not look as bad as mine did!
just work it!

when you wash your hair you should skip the condtioner which makes it harder to curl your hair, then dry it till about 90% is dry.
then take a large/medium curling iron and starting from the tips twirl the iron upward till you reach about halfway.
make sure your curling big sections.
then use an minimum amount of hairspray so it doesnt get hard, then finger comb through it!
this should work!

um...well i know what it means but if you don't i'm suspecting your pretty young, so how bout i give you the info indirectly:

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=boning

okay this should give you an idea of boning...
enjoy?

babywipes are great!
busy women DO NOT have time to wash their faces every single night! so facial wipes or baby wipes work great!
they're gentle enough for a newborn's bottom and they are a perfect alternative to washing your face. they will make you feel refreshed and clean. also, when you need to go somewhere you can pack babywipes instead of a bunch of facial cleansers that could spill or just take up too much room.
alright so i hope this works for you!

um yeAH!
if the eyeliner or mascara you use is old or if you leave it on overnight and dont wash your face this could be a major cause of styes! and they are not pretty!
if your too tired at night to wash your face get some faciaL wipes and wipe it off. regular washing of your face should keep styes away!

girl let me hook you up! ;)
