Have you thought about your first day of school outfit? Are you changing your style this year? Are you going to cut or color your hair? Start wearing make-up? These are questions that usually go through teenage girls head a couple weeks before school starts. Are you going to keep it comfy and sporty? Excited to get the sportiest sneakers out there to make people stop and stare (nike,under armour, puma?) with a sporty sweat suit.
Are you going to be chic and be in summer dresses? There is so many different outfits that you can do even with the same dress. Change it up with a pair of heels or flats, add a scarf, add a belt or even just add a necklace. Summer dresses are cheap and look good on anyone.
Your style going to be the best that you will be "Best Dressed" for the year book? How do you do that? Try to not wear the same outfit throughout the whole year, that doesn't mean buy a new outfit every day. It simply means match your shirt up with a different pair of jeans or pants next time, wear a pattern scarf, wear a fashion belt, cardigan, wear a bulky necklace with a different pair of shoes or different hair style. You will be surprise with what you are able to do with everything you have. You don't need to have a lot of clothes to do this just need to mix things up. Check out my other blog to find out other styles to try out.
You can still look good without dressing up. How? Wearing a pair of jeans with a causal shirt, having your make up and hair done right with a cute pair of shoes will still look good. This way you will be comfortable but still look good and cute. Also you don't always have to dress up everyday once and while throw some sweats on and put your hair up but still look cute!

Want to look skinner in just different outfits?
Do you wish you could wear clothes that make you skinner? I know I do, well their is some different clothing styles to slim you down and still look chic. The key idea for looking skinnier is making your outfits proportioned. Some outfits that are proportioned well is having skinny jeans and a baggy/long shirt or having wide leg pants with a tighter shirt. Want to make your legs look skinnier? Always throw on a pair of heels or wedge sandals to elongate your legs. Another way which may sound weird is wearing scoop front sandals or pumps; these will make your legs longer also. On the contrary wearing booties or ankle-strap shoes will shorten your legs. Want to make your waist look smaller? Try a wide belt around the waist which will bring in your waste to look tinnier. People think that a skinnier belt will make you look smaller and wider belt will make look bigger, but it is the opposite. Having a printed fabric doesn't hide your body type all the time, in reality a smaller print will actually make you look smaller then a bigger print. An important rule to follow is making sure that your sweater/shirt/tank meets with your bottoms right below the waist. Having your pants come above the waist and have it meet with your sweater; this will make you look like you gained weight. So sometimes having a longer cardigan will make you long longer while hip-length cardigans could make your body look shorter. This may sound odd but wearing the long U-shape chunky fashion necklaces (is stylish) but also will elongate your torso especially with a light colored shirt underneath. Fall season is coming and its back to jackets, but don't worry because a tapered jacket ( hip-length with tailored lines) can make your waist smaller looking. Also wearing the right black or red dress can elongate your body especially with a pair of nude heels. Never knew that just a change in your style could make you look smaller? Now take the advice and try things on in front of a mirror to see if you see the difference.

Change up your wardrobe with easy changes!
Getting tired of the same basic outfits and not a lot of money to spend all the time on new clothes? Well here are some different solutions to making outfits feel brand new without the need of a lot of money. A white button-up blouse is always a right way to go and still look stylish. You can wear a white button up blouse with anything; jeans, shorts, black pants, pencil skirts and you can cover it up with a blazer, any color jacket/sweater. Spice it up with different accessories; necklaces, scarves, earrings, hand bands and add a pair of heels or flats. Different occasions call for different outfits; its up to you.
Really spice up your closet with a leopard sweater that can go with anything! A leopard print should be a smaller print some times a big leopard print is overpowering to a lot of people. A leopard sweater (long or short) goes great with just a pair of skinny jeans and red/black/leopard heels. A sexy way to wear a leopard sweater is with black leather pants and heels for a fun night out. Another sexy outfit is a black pencil skirt with the leopard sweater with black shirt/tank underneath. Fortunately the leopard sweater will go with any color underneath, the chic way is black and the sexy way is red underneath. Flip it around a little and wear a leopard skirt on the bottom with a black shirt can always make your basic black shirt pop more. Or you really go bold and wear a leopard dress with red heels!
One of the best ways to help your outfits not be so basic anymore is having a blue denim crop jacket. This jacket can go with any color, any style of pants/shorts/skirts and even the right color or right design of a dress. An outfit to put together is a pair of fashion shorts with black tights and heels, a cute shirt and a crop jacket on top. Want to make it simple? Wear a pair of skinny jeans with a cute top, crop jacket and heels. Ever need to mix it up; add necklaces, bracelets and hats. Do you want to be bold but still chic? Buy some red pants that can really spice up your outfits. You have to watch out for what you wear it with because only a few colors will go; black,demin,brown,gray,maroon and taupe. They don't have to be red pants they could be red shorts also.
If you ever need to spice up your boring outfits there is different ways you can do that but the easiest is to add necklaces, bracelets, earrings, hats, sunglasses or scarves.

Airbrush wand used to much in make-up product commercials and photos?
Is airbrushing overpowering the make-up industries and what it can actually do for the costumer? Make-up companies try to trick the costumer that their foundation makes them look flawless, their eyelashes look longer and their lipstick so pure. Are companies trying to hard to get costumers to buy their flawless product? The companies draw the costumers to buy their products but 20 years a go when their wasn't airbrush, you had access to see what the make up actual did.
Well if you feel the same way as I do; they are pushing the airbrushing to far, you are not alone. The British Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) feels the same, they are now cracking down on companies that are using the "airbrushing wand" a little to much. A culprit of this is Julia Roberts on the L'Oreal commercial and photos in magazines for L'Oreal foundation. L'Oreal admitted to retouching the pictures of Julia but said that their foundation can produce perfect skin. Then if it generates perfect skin why would you airbrush still? Julia Roberts is gorgeous as it is and make up can only make her look better, you don't need airbrush to perfect her (if their is perfecting). You do not want to mislead the costumer because then they will stop buying your product after they figure out their skin doesn't look perfect with the make-up. Say a make-up company comes out with a new product;swear they did not use airbrush and only displayed their product on the celebrity, I bet that their product will still look good. I personally would buy it just for their honestly and how good it looks (well hopefully). Is airbrushing misleading costumers into being flawless like celebrities? What is crossing line in this situation?

How Short is too Short?
Teenagers are influenced by celebrities (especially with fashion) from the magazines, movies and shows. Is the everyday clothing for teenagers what the stylist put together for the celebrities for awards (Grammy's movie awards, etc..)? With the breast popping out, the dress so tight and short that they cant bend down, these styles are made specifically for award shows not everyday school girl clothing. But how do you tell teenage girls not to dress that when they see their idols dress that way?
Personally I think leggings are for any shirt that covers your booty and isn't skin tight, LEGGINGS ARE NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR PANTS and for heavens sake JEGGINGS AREN'T EITHER. We don't want to see the front and back privates of you when you wear a short shirt. Now on to dresses.. IF YOU CANT BEND DOWN OR CANT BREATH in a dress, they are too tight and too short. You may think you look pretty but you are attracting the wrong guys. Any piece of clothing (shorts, dress,etc..) that just covers your butt by an inch or is showing your booty, ITS TO SHORT. Wearing these type of clothing's doesn't make you look sexier, skinner or have longer legs, it is the total opposite. If you truly love a dress but it's to short then wear leggings underneath with heels, it will still look cute. If you look in the mirror and you question "if it is too short?", IT IS TOO SHORT! And listen to your parents when they say it doesn't look good, they are looking out for you. Most important don't follow the celebrities because they don't dress like that when they are on the streets.“A fashion is merely a form of ugliness so unbearable that we are compelled to alter it every six months.”
Oscar Wilde
