Fashion Challenged? Or just an unorganized shopper.
I mean, no doubt, i love to go shopping. im willing to drop whatever im doing, even if its important and go shopping with my mom or something, even if it isnt for me, but because she usually hates shopping. but im so unorganized.. i'll take like 100 things to try on in the dressing room, and then come out with like less than 10 that were actually good, and then at the check out line i change my mind about somethigns and end up with like 4 things.. and then later in the year i dont really like the things i got, and only keep wearing 1 or so. I mean.. im so unorganized about it.. my sis doesnt go shopping as much, but always gets good stuff and i'd usually wear stuff from her wardrobe, even if theres less clothes. i just have a lot of clothes and like 3/4 of them have no purpose.. cuz they either just stay at home or I wear them at home. and then school theres not a lot. i mean i get fancy clothes sometimes and my mom says its not appropiate for school and i see what she means. so what is?? im like a kind of preppy/girly/cute/elegant/sophisticated/unique dresser... to put it, lol and basically wear things that fit well and look good. not gothic or whatever. any tips on new styles and stuff and stores i could go to to get them? and advice on my er.. problem.
thanks a whole bunches! =]

omgg I have the SAME EXACT problem.Even with the whole sister thing. lol. Try this. When you go shopping, only buy stuff you absolutely love, so it won't just sit in my closet. Go through your closet and take out the stuff you don't like, and send it to salvation army or give it to a cousin or something, then go shopping. and try to get outfits that match so you don't get random stuff with nothing to match it with.
good luck <33briana

Sometimes we have too much in our closet and "nothing to wear." This is because most of it is junk that is in the way of our good stuff. First go through your entire closet and get rid of anything you hate, don't wear, does not fit well or is not flattering. Now organize what you have left into categories by seasonal wear. You should be getting your Fall wardrobe ready by now. Make a list on paper of what you have and then a list of what you need. You don't need a ton of stuff, you need a moderate amount of mix and match outfits to go with your real life activities in the day to day. If your closet has too much of one thing, don't buy more of it. Fill in what you lack. If you have too many colors and trouble coordinating outfits, you need to add neutrals that will go with everything. Let me know what comes of it, and if you need further help.

The whole taking hundreds of items and only ending up buying a small number of them is all part of the shopping experience, dear. Trust me. I do it too. Most of the girls I shop with do as well, it's normal.
Once again, I'm going to make the assumption that you live in the United States and are about 14-16 years old. In this case, I'm going to say that it doesn't really matter right now. You'll develop your own tastes in fashion. Right now it seems to me like you're picking things similar to what you can see in your sister's wardrobe, and that never works out, let me tell you now. The best and easiest thing to do is to choose whatever looks good to you, that way you can be a lot more confident about your purchase and not end up with four out of ten items.
As a bonus, it also helps with your self confidence. People (particularly school girls) like to slander peoples clothing. When this happens to you (and sweety, it happens to the best of us), you can stand tall and tell yourself that they don't know anything, that you picked the clothes because they're unique, not to follow some trend (like they most definately will have done). That may seem stupid, but after a while of doing it, you'll come to realize that choosing your own styles (as you no doubt do already) and sticking to them, rather than picking out things that are similar to other peoples will be great in the long run, and will also help you be the individual that you no doubt are.
