Alright, so basically my style in clothes sucks. I just wear jeans and sweatshirts all of the time. I really want to change my style into a more fashionable trend I guess. I'm not the kind of person who wears the hollister short skirts and uggs kind of person either so please don't reccomend any kind of those clothes that are skanky. How can I ease into a new style with out just changing really quick, so people don't think that i'm crazy. Also, what are some really good outfits and stuff? Pictures would be nice too! I'm a sophomore in high school (16). Again, I really don't like the preppy, uggs stlye, but not really the grungy types of clothes either. thanks!

Im with you on the hollister and ugg thing. its gotten so old and has no individuality anymore. one of my favorite stores has become Delias, because they actually have some interesting peices that can jazz up your wardrobe without looking like a preppy conformist.

Maybe a bit boho. try going to Charlotte Russe or Wet Seal or one of those stores and go to the clearance rack. Try jeans and a camisole with a nice blazer. You can get those cheap if you look. Maybe, if you like, I put on a short skirt over my jeans.
TheAnnie answered Friday January 18 2008, 10:15 pm: that's me
im a sweatshirt, tee shirt, jeans kind of girl
what i do sometime is wear button down shirts and wear a sparkly top. i do this on random days just so people don't think that i only have tee-shirts and jeans. also sometimes i wear like a short sleeved shirt w/ a long sleeved shiirt underneath. also try getting some zipper sweaters so that people can see youo tee shirt (that way it doesn't look like you wear the same thing everyday)
but honestly, i don't really care about trends and don't care what people think i look like
alot of kids in my school are like this! you're not alone, lol. [ TheAnnie's advice column | Ask TheAnnie A Question ]
