I'm thinking about changing my wardrobe look.

I normally wear jeans everyday to school
and I wear T-shirts a lot (sporty type and maybe some that are girly)
and a lot of sweatshirts (zip ups and big ones)
and just tennis shoes...

thats my wardrobe for school....
i'm more sporty than girly girl... but thats what i want to change. i kinda want clothes that make me look hot, cute and still affordable
so if you could find some pictures at some stores that are inexpensive and still cute, and girly
that would be AWESOME!

PS: I don't like to wear skirts or leggings... but if you really insist.. thats ok

Good for you! You should wear whatever you feel comfortable in, but looking good always makes you feel good right? Start by jsut dressing up your jeans... no more T-shirts. Pair your jeans with cute tops, heels, jakets and jewlery. jeans are in and if you dress them up they are the hottest thing out there! Try looking through magizines and looking at certain outfits you like. Find afordable clothes that are similar to the outfit in the picture and wear them just like the model... this is always a good way to see what you're fashion style really is. If you ahve anymore questions, I and a fashion maniac and i would love to help!

Heres an outfit that i think fits you by your personality in your question...

ok so in summer im very tan but in winter im about as pale as a ghost..especially my legs. is there anyway possible for me to get at least a little tanner without going tanning and having to put that "tanning lotion" on every night?(if theres honestly nothing you can suggest a lotion that you dont have to put on every day) thanks in advance!

I don't know if you are against Mystic tan or not, but it's really easy and it cost about $6 a tan. You stand in a shower like thing and it sprays you. it works well for me, but make sure that you don't get a dark one on the first time or it will look very unnatural.

I don't really like Uggs. They are ugly but.. I actually saw some good ones.

They were black ones [the longer ones; almost knee high] and I was wondering where I can get some similar ones?


Honestly, I'm not going to waste like $160-$200 onto those. I don't even have that money.

Any stores?

K-Mart has really cute black ones! I bought 2 pair and they were only about $15. You may want to hurry though, the winter styles are starting to fade!

Could someone list some aerobic exercises I'd be able to do for about thirty minutes. Prefferably inside, but I'd just like to mention I don't have any work out equipment except for a work out bike at my dad's, who's house I'm at two days a week.

Also, I do this thing where I step on and off of a chair over and over without stopping for thirty minutes-is this an alright exercise?

Thanks for any help, I'll rate accordingly. =)

I live in a very small apartment and know what you mean! The best way to get a cardio workout is jump roping.. It doesn't seem like it would do much but it works soo well! Try jumping to music only stopping in between songs. It's cheap and easy! Also if you have stairs, try running up them and then walking back down for about ten minutes. The chair excersices are fine as long as the chair is not more than two feet off the ground, then it will strain your muscles. hope this was helpful!

ok i have a formal dance in 3 weeks. I went to stores to try on dresses but because my boob's are kind of small every dress i tried on looked BAD !! and they all looked good on my friends =( is there any certain stores or places i can find a dress that will fit me ?? HELP

Lots of girls have this problem.. i used to work in a dress store and trust me... everyone goes through this. The best dresses for girls with small chest and halter and ones that are ripples in the millde between the boobs. There is alwasy push up bras and don't worry! You will look beautiful!

Alright it's marching band season for me right now and i flat iron my hair...it tends to get frizzy and poofy by the time i get to school even tho my hair is very straight at home when i touch it up. any tips on how to keep it from waving and making the poofyness dissappear? Could it be the flat iron i'm using? thanks =)

Some kinds of hair just don't stay straight for very long. Try using a straighening spray such as L.A Looks Straightening Spray, before you begin useing the flat iron. You can also use a friz spray after straightening to make is shiny and less friz prone. Frizz Ease by John Friend works well for most people. Hope that helped!

What age do you think a girl should be to go to a gyno? Not for birth control, just for health check ups? Thanks!

If you are not sexually active, you should start goin to a gyno around 18. It's different for everyone. Whenever you feel comforatble to go or when you know that you are ready for sex. hope that helped a little!

I like some of the clothing from the Dickies brand but i know like if you wear something from volcom and you dont like skate your a poser. So i dont want to be a poser to everyone cuz no one will talk to me. My style is kinda punk rockish. I get kinda overwhelmed cuz its like im supose to walk into the store knowing what all these brands are.

So can i wear the dickies brand and all?
And what does it stand for?

I don't think people will not talk to you because of what you're wearing. Wear whatever you want!

ok i was hanging out with my friends when i felt something weird on the inner part of my lip. like a pimplish kind of thing? my one friend insisted it was herpes and said at one point everyone gets herpes. im like what? is this true? i thought herpes was like a perminant thing.

Cold sores are a form of herpes, but don't worry about it. They are just caused by bateria and it goes away pretty quickly and you cannot give it to anyone. If you had a serious form of herpes, you would know. You will get several cold sores and they hurt very badly. Hope that helped!

hey!! im not fat but ive got a little blubber on my tummy..well its not flat..and i want to loose it in three weeks before school any ideas how..quick and easy..if i run everyday will it help?

Running will help you lose the excess fat but it will not tone your stomach. Try doing cardio, like running, as well and crunches, leglifts and things that focus on you stomach. You can try using a home workout video the tagets the stomach, i've heard thst those can work pretty well. hope i gave some good ideas!

i know there has been a lot of questions like this so... i hope i'm not getting on your nerves! okay my birthday is in october and i'm turning 14, i have no idea what to do for my party b/c i can't have everyone over to my house or anything and what would we do anyway? i was thinking maybe w/all girls head to a spa or something, but i have a TON of guy friends. so please help! GOOD answers get 5's i'll report you if i have to!

Go to a park. I did this for my last party and it was really fun. Have some fo your guy friends barbeque and play games like volleyball, tag , capture the flag or anything else you can think of. Have some music playing and then at the end you ca get everyone dancing. This worked really well for me and i think everyone had a good time.. just a suggestion. hope i gave some good ideas!

im 13/f about 111lbs.
I cant fit into a size 3 most of the time and that makes me think im fat. I see girls on tv who are in their 20s who weigh less then me. I've tried to cut down on the oh so loverely junk food. But that lasted 30 minz. (( i love chips

First of all you are not fat! I used to be model at a size 6... Drinking water is great though! It fills you up but without the suger and caffeiene that are in other drinks.. try lifting wieghts to tone up your body. I take wieght training classes and it helps all of the extra fall turn into muscle so that you look toned, but only do this a couple times a week. you don't want huge muscles. lol Another great way to get you work out it to take yoga! i know that sounds cheesy, but it is so good for you and if definately keeps the wieght off. But seriously size 3 and 11 is not fat at all.. the average size of a 13 year old girl is a 5 which means you are below average. So don't worry about your wieght, most people who do are unhappy. Hope that helped!

I feel so ugly.. no matter what I do, I'm always comparing myself to girls that are prettier than me, and putting myself down... I always feel like I'm not worth anything because I feel ugly.. What can I do to raise my self-esteem or make myself prettier???

Don't worry about the other girls, just try and make youself look nice. You don't have to be extremely bauetiful to be pretty. Having a great personality make you more attractive even if you don't think so. Try finding what clothes and makeup look best on you, and what doesn't. Make sure you are comfortable though. Try finding something that you're really good at to boost your self-etsteem. Everyone one is beautiful in some way! hope that helped a little!

ok i was wondering if there are any kind of craft or games i can do for my sweet 16 party. im planning on having a smaller party with just about 12 people or so and its prob going to be all girls. it can be anything outside because its going to be in winter/late fall. i wanted something to do that wasnt to juvenile to past time and stuff so we dont get bored or anything. it also cant be to girly either and can be done with a larger group. i was wondering if anyone could tell me some fun things to do at a party or what they did at theirs

I love sleepover parties! There are so many fun things you can do. Try doing something like facials or fingernail painting, ya know girly stuff. Playing bored games is fun too, just as long as lots of people can play. Twister, charades and things like that are always fun. Rent some movies adn get some food.. it's fun to just sit around and talk too.. hope these ideas helped!

whats a really good hair straightener to keep my hair straight ALL day and not like poof.. my hair isnt really thick but its kinda poofy ..i want a straightener that costs like around 20$ no more than 30$

Hot Tools is a really good brand of srtaightener. Use one with a large iron part. Because you have thick hair, the thin ones wont work as well. Also try a straightening spray, like L.A Looks Straghtening Spray, while using a srtaightener. It keeps your hair from going frizzy and makes it alot easier and faster to straighten. Hope that helped!

i rate well =] hailey*

Don't do anything just because other people think you should. If you really like one of these guys and you think your ready, thns go for it. But if you don't feel comfortable then don't. I personally think that 13 is definately to young, and you should wait until you really love someone, but it's your own choice and don't let anyone make you if you don't want it. hope i helped!

ok i have worn uniforms for EIGHT YEARS and im sick of them. WHat can i do to bend the rules but not break them and dress up my uniform .OUr unifrom rules are pretty leniant. I rate high!!

Try adding cute accessories that match your personality. Maybe jewelry or hair pins. If you have to wear tennis shoes, try wearing them colored laces. Make your uniform look unique by rolling up sleeves or adding a scarf belt. Wear bright colored things that will take away from the boringness of uniforms.. hope these ideas helped!
