!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHOPPING INEPT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am the worst shopper! I can spend like 2 hours at 1 store then end up buying like 2-3 items. I just cant prioritize. When we're shopping for pants, I get a few pants, and then get some shirts too. Ughhh, also I went shopping for ripped jeans and army pants... where can I find good ones? Delias has good jeans overall.. the ones at A&E suck and i dunno about the others. also, where are some good (not too expensive. not like american eagle, with their clearances cause the stuff on sale probably isnt that good looking anyway. and the clothes dont really look that great) clothes overall in general for a 13 year old girl? My sense of style is like.. cute, preppy, sporty, sexy, laid-back, trendy i guess, sophisticated, not sluttyish but not like.. boring, and not too weird but not TOO mainstream, etc. Thanks alot!
So basically, can you help me with my shopping problem? I mean, I love to shop and all, but when I do this I end up not getting much because we waste time and my mom doesn't want to buy the stuff I pick out. Because they are expensive and not clearance (the clearance stuff wasnt good!) and like.. full priced. apparently i have expensive taste, but all i really want is something good to wear. at school, at parties, at home, etc. also, do you think wearing victoria's secret pink is too much for my age? i love those pants with "pink" on the butt but i dunno, haha. also, are they expensive, too? and do you still get that cute little pink dog with your purchase? XD also, with suggestions on a good store for me. oh yeah, I live in New Jersey, if that helps.
For more info, the stores I shop at now are Kohls, Walmart (I dislike it, but sometimes we gotta get clothes from there), Mandees, A&E (well I only got a pair of pants), Delias... thats pretty much it, for clothing. Oh, and JC Penny, but we cant go there often cause the store is faraway.
ooh and another thing. I'm african, so I have a big butt. Its hard sometimes to find good jeans because they can fit at the bottom then get a little funky at the top. even with a belt.. I only have like 1 pair of jeans that fit perfectly. also, any good (cheap) shoe stores? other than payless, hah.
1 more thing.. (-talks too much-) my sister has large feet, size 13 to be exact, i feel bad for her. where can she get some good shoes other than ordering them?
thanks thanks again and sorry it was really long but it had to be specific, heh.

Want to answer more questions in the Miscellaneous category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Fashion and Styles?
Whew! That's a lot. I'm going to try to answer all of your questions ... but if I leave one out, don't hate me. :)
1) Good stores for 13 year olds:
I love Old Navy. They're everywhere, too. It used to have a bad reputation for ugly clothes (haha) but they actually have a lot of really cute stuff there now, and it's cheap! They have AMAZING sales also. Some other good and inexpensive stores are Macy's, Buckle, Wet Seal, Forever 21, Aeropostale, and Rue 21.
2) Problem with prioritizing:
Go in with a list and take a friend with you. If you need, say, a black sweater and jeans, only go in stores that you know might have them. That way, you can't get distracted. (That's where your friend comes in to keep you focused!) If you go in a store and see they don't have what you need, move on to the next one. That way you'll finish your shopping a lot quicker, and you can have time left ove to shop for fun.
3) How to shop clearance:
It might be different from store to store, but I've found a bunch of great pieces on sale at A&E! It might take a little digging, but I've been able to get a mini skirt there for $7, a white lacy tank top for $4, and tennis shoes for $8! Also, lots of stores offer coupons and rewards programs, so take advantage of those too! Don't be deceived by stores that you wouldn't usually shop at, that's where some of the best bargains are at! (B/C a lot of other 13 year old girls are going to think the same thing as you ... Who shops there?! So they might have a lot of cute things on clearance that they're trying to get rid of b/c no one's bought them... get the idea?)
4) Victoria's Secret Pants:
Hmm... I tend to be more modest in my taste, but I'm not crazy about those Pink pants on anyone, let alone a 13 year old. I'd let that trend go and not be a part in it. :) (Plus, I hear they're expensive.)
5) Big butt, small waist:
I feel ya on this one. :) A lot of girls have this problem, and finding the perfect fitting pair of jeans can be practically impossible. Find a pair of jeans that you like and that fit your butt, and take them to a tailor to be altered around the waist. They can take in the fabric for usually under $15. Maybe a little expensive, but you can wear jeans with anything and they'll fit you nicely.
If that doesn't work, check out the GAP's jeans. Those can also be a little pricey if you don't get them on sale, but again, jeans are basics, so it's okay to "invest" in a good pair. Their "curvy style" jeans are made just for this problem. I don't have any of these, but my friend has a pair and swears by them are the Apple Bottom jeans.. I forget who makes them but some rapper. :) Those are very expensive, but hopefully you have a birthday coming up. :) They're perfect for larger butts with smaller waists, and they're cute!
6) Size 13 Shoes:
Check out this website: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
They have literally thousands of shoes on this site in all different price ranges, and you can search by your size. (All the way to a size 18!) They also have spaces for you to specifiy price, width, style, color, and heel height. That should make it pretty easy for your sister to find the right size shoes!
Hope that helped you some, and good luck! :)
