tired and bored, of my everyday school look Options

[drummergirlmarim...]

okay well, im basically a 15 yrold japanese girl that always wears the same thing everyday. i wear a school club (fbla) sweatshirt, a t-shirt, not that flattering jeans, and tmmy hilfigure(sp?) shoes... and my hair is always a pony tail or its let down. i dont style it with anything like gel or spray or anything, but its nice and shiny anyways so that makes it a bit better ^ ^;; my friends tell me to wear skirts, but i cant find skirts that arent showing my underwear nor do i want those maxi super long skirts. i have some clothes, but some i definitely dont want to wear in school like those skirts... ^ ^;; i love clothes, i just dont have any that look flattering :/

try gonig for a new look. like find other shirts and sweatshirts with a similar style that you like.try other sneakers amde by tommy hilfiger.experience more.dont do it too drastically. slowly change.you can still wear your everyday clothing

[showstopper!]

Try wearing a skirt with leggings. Also, ponytails are quite a bit boring maybe try to straighten your hair once in a while. Sweatshirts aren't really that attractive on girls anymore, try a zip-up sweater or a regular fleece jacket. As for shoes try easy slip-ons or maybe even flats.

Marshall's has alot of various length skirts. Maybe part your hair or add volume to it when you blow dry it?

Oh, and a tip: if you find & decide to wear a skirt, I wouldn't wear it with your sweatshirt. Not that sweatshirts are bad. Try finding a jacket or maybe a nice fitted blazer?

Try looking through magazines, etc. for ideas of how to style your hair. There are certain styles that go best with hair types. I would suggest maybe go in and get your hair done. I actually just did today and trust me, you can get it VERY low maintenance but have it still look good. If you don't want to spend a ton of time on your hair try some simple things like maybe throw it in some big hot rollers in the morning to make it nice and wavy.

I'm not a fan of skirts or dresses or that kind of thing. I don't like my legs But if you're comfortable with it go ahead. Maybe try to get some nice pants, not just jeans, and decorative tops. It shouldn't have to be this out of the ordinary thing. It can be really simple to change how you dress. I would also recommend to try accessories. I used to never accessorize because I didn't want a necklace that only went with one outfit, haha. But I'd suggest that you have a look in your closet and then go shopping so you can get necklaces, rings, and bracelets that go good with a lot of things in your closet. You can get a lot of things that will mix and match together good.

Just take your time and try on things.

Sorry for the long post.

ooo try wearing polos ?
they look really good
and maybe pair them with a denim skirt ? ones that are like knee length.
hmmm and maybe curling your hair

[LOWinSKANK]

you can get skirts that aren`t too long, but that don`t show your underwear. or pair them with leggings or colored tights. yeah, i liked the polo idea -- those go with almost everything and anyone can pull them off.

Well would you rather wear the same thing every day or the same thing everyone else is wearing every day?

Because all the suggestions in this thread are like common, overrated trends.

EXACTALLY what I was thinking while reading these posts. Everyone wears the same things & it gets on my nerves. If you are daring & honestly willing to try new things try DIY clothes. I hate looking like everyone else. Pretty much, my style is emo/punk. I have short hair that sticks out in the back & on top it is blue. I have to style it in the morning, but it only takes around five minuites. I just dampen it, put a headband on, put the gel on the back, turn my head over & shake my hair to make it stick out. Then I straighten the front & around the headband. I always have to be fast in the morning, considering my mom is a bus driver.
I normally go to local thrift stores & pay around a dollar for two large t-shirts. I just take them home, cut them up, sew on some fabric[maybe some lace, chains, ect.]& tad-aa. You now have yourself an awesome shirt that is flattering that no one else has ever seen. Not to mention, it only cost you fifty cents, plus the time/effort & material, which equals around 2 dollars. Why better than going to Abercrombie & buying a sisty dollar polo shirt, only to find it go out of style a week later. One of a kind, much.
As for the jeans, you can also redo them. I had jeans with holes ALL in them[like everyone else has] & of course, me being me, had to make them different so I just sewed some checkered fabric around the holes. Everyone loves them but nobody has them.

yeah, obscure is right. you can come up with so much on your own. you just have to think about what you like and what YOU think will look nice.

btw obscure i love all those songs in your signature you have in my opinion good taste in music & fashion as well.
