I'm 16, I wear a D36 cup and I'm 5'0. I have dark red hair and olive skin. I'm tired of hiding behind clothes that don't fit or flatter me in the correct places. Could someone put together a cute outfit [from the forever21 site] for me for an example or give me tips? Obviously I would like to stay modest with cleavage. I want to go shopping soon but I'm totally lost with style and correct colors.. My whole wardrobe needs to be revamped lol. Lots of answers would be appreciated.

I have the same problem a lot of the time, too.
Just a few suggestions:
-dont wear anything with more than 5% spandex. When things have to stretch, they look tight, and feel like a very uncomfortable sports bra. o.o
-dont do babydoll-style shirts. They may help to minimize your chest, but they make you look fatter that you really are, and pregnant if you have any amount of squish.
-I find that lacy cami's (pulled up enough) paired with fitted jeans, and a cropped jacket or loose-fitting half-zipped hoodie look really cute.
also, depending on the rules at your school, and your body type, you can go without the jacket. If you have a long torso and shortish legs, it looks good. :]
-tank tops are usually not very good, because they stretch around the chest and make it look larger.
if you want more specifics, like how to dress for a certain style, or specific stores & prices I would suggest, let me know. I dont really have enough information to give you any more ideas. :[
definitely, if you're looking for a better fit, look into a minimizing bra- I believe they sell them at Victorias Secret. (again, let me know if you'd like me to look up any specifics.)
hope I helped- & good luck.! [ KristinaKinesthetic's advice column | Ask KristinaKinesthetic A Question ]

But make sure you try every shirt on before you buy it, because a) each shirt is cut differently, even ones that are the same size and b) certain colors may look terrible or just not flatter you (since you mentioned that already it must be an issue for you)
Also, by trying to hide clevage you can sometimes actually acentuate it. Turtlenecks for example can sometimes magnify things like you wouldn't believe. So, it's okay to show a little off. You'll know it's the right amount when you try on a shirt and think "Wow, it's so cute" instead of "WOW, look at my chest!"
A couple suggestions: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
[You can buy similar shirts @ most stores, I just happen to be on this site]
You can layer tanks, wear them under hoodies, and wear them under a shirt that's a bit see-through. Very versatile, and if you shop around you can find them really cheap too.

Shirts like this (doesn't have to be exactly this style if you don't like it) flatter your figure and are girly without being too revealing. Try to find some that accentuate your waist, so that it doesn't look like you're drowning in fabric.
If you got some cute basics (jeans in different washes and styles, tanks, camis, tshirts, etc) and a few cute tops you'd have a versatile new wardrobe that could be mixed with stuff you already have. Also, make sure you're wearing a properly-fitting bra. The wrong one could easily ruin an otherwise great outfit. One with two or more hooks in the back typically provides more support & is wicked comfortable too.
